Many of us are trying to do the best we can for our health and well-being, more of us these days it seems, and especially when it comes to our diets. And most of us on this quest are wise enough to have discovered that there is no single superfood, no magic bullet to good health, and no perfect eating plan. It is our intention to make the best possible choices each day that takes us closer to our goal. However, the fruits of those intentions are all predicated on access to good information and solid science from which to make the choices that are best for our unique body and needs.
If you're thinking about embarking on a healthier way of eating, if you've been battling weight gain or even obesity, if you've been told you are at risk of a heart attack, if you're taking or are about to begin taking statins like Lipitor, and even if you think you know the whole story based on government guidelines and your physicians recommendations, PLEASE give up an hour of TV today to watch this presentation by Dr. David Diamond, a neuroscientist at the University of South Florida. In 2011, he presented his research findings summarizing a hundred years of independent nutritional science in a presentation entitled How the Government and Big Business Created the Obesity Epidemic.
In my opinion, it's not the "whole story" of eating well, but it is certainly an eye-opener when it comes to the mischaracterizations and falsehoods that many of us grew up accepting as fact - and the reasons why they were fed (no pun intended) to us in the first place.
