Another great article, but there is something I don’t understand at the beginning. You said, “Look at the results of a healthy diet full of Whole Grains, and low fats.”

I personally know very, very few people who actually eat whole grains or even know what they are. Most folks read a bread label that says “wheat bread” and think it’s a whole grain. They don’t know that a whole GRAIN means such things as brown rice, whole oats and wheat berries. Whole grains and healthy fats (organic butter, avocado, coconut, olive, and nut oils)along with eggs, a bit of meat or fish, and LOTS of fresh fruits & veggies would cause wellness.

“Diet” foods cause obesity and illness. People (including doctors) have been sucked in by advertising over the years by the manufacturers of these processed foods which cause damage to children and adults.

People try to do the right things, but there is so much misinformation and profiteering going on, it’s very hard to make good decisions about food (and, as you say, other aspects of our lives.)

I thank you for another good article and for giving us the “straight-shooting-from-the-hip” info that is so needed by all of us.

And, thanks also for the books you recommend. It’s good to know where to go for the best information.
