the healthiest, most balanced way to go?
Health expert Jonny Bowden, PhD, C.N.S., put it more beautifully than I ever could: “The Food Pyramid is an invention of the U.S. Department of Agriculture [not even by doctors, but essentially businessmen] in the late 20th century. Most of the foods on it did not exist before the invention of agriculture. If the history of the human genus were a 24-hour clock, agriculture was invented about 5 3/4 minutes ago. On this same clock, the Food Pyramid is less than 17 seconds old. To assume it is the last word on the best kind of fuel for the human body is, in my humble opinion, utter folly.” More proof that low-fat is not all it’s cracked up to be? “Low-Fat Diet Does Not Cut Health Risks, Study Finds” – New York Times; also, Carbs may be worse for heart than fatty foods – Diet & Nutrition – MSNBC.com; Why Butter is Better.
