This bad advice is still being parroted by health experts
I recently saw an article on Facebook that talked about harmful foods that people should avoid. Of course that caught my attention, and I wanted to see what this doctor saw as “harmful” and why, so I read on. I agreed with the first few items—soda, processed foods and artificial sweeteners. Good going so far! Especially with artificial sweeteners, since I know they are still being pushed by many in the health field as...

My experiment was an abysmal failure
I recently conducted a little experiment to see if my suspicions were correct. And they were. I wrote letters to 65 local gastroenterologists in my surrounding area and along the east coast of Florida, introducing myself, including my curriculum vitae, and explaining that I would be happy to provide specialized meal suggestions and convenient guides that they could give to their patients to help address any dietary-related causes of their symptoms.

Everything you’ve been told about cholesterol is false
Back when I was earning my Nutrition Master’s, one of my reading requirements was the book Deep Nutrition by Dr. Cate Shanahan. In Deep Nutrition, Dr. Shanahan tells the story of how she was taught in medical school that cholesterol causes heart disease, that a diet low in cholesterol and saturated fats was “heart healthy,” and statins were the gold standard for lowering cholesterol. But something was troubling her. If saturated fats and cholesterol...
