carbs

Doctors have warned for decades that saturated fat clogs arteries and causes heart disease, and for decades the public believed it. I mean, why wouldn’t we? Well, now 3 world-renowned cardiologists are saying that claim is just bunk – that drinking whole milk and eating real butter is not dangerous, after all. They’re calling the claim that saturated fat leads to heart disease “just plain wrong.” [1]
Better yet, people who are still a little bit concerned about eating saturated fat can balance the score, so to speak, with a few simple lifestyle changes.

Carbohydrates like pizza, pasta, and polenta are a favorite of many. For those looking to lose weight, they are incredibly hard to resist, and are often seen as a food-enemy. Now, a new study suggests that there may be a scientific reason for our love of carbs – because they are our 6th taste.

A report published in the BMJ says that the new federal nutrition guidelines recommended by a health expert lack the most recent dietary research and reinforce bad advice that many believe is behind America’s obesity epidemic.

If you’re feeling down, you might be tempted to reach for some sort of comfort food like bread or cupcakes, or maybe a big bowl of spaghetti. But if you’re a woman, you should know that doing so puts you at greater risk of developing full-blown depression after menopause – at least that is what one study is reporting.

There are far too many fad diets out there that skimp on real nutrition, and worse, sell pre-packaged foods that are called ‘low fat’ when they also include GMOs, MSG, and a host of artificial colors and flavors. Aside, from simply detoxing your body so that you can lose weight safely, research shows that eating more protein, and specifically one amino acid in particular, can boost your metabolic rate 3 times more than eating a diet high in fat and simple carbs.
