I can’t say I agree with all of this, but after forty years, we are finally getting an update. I have to agree with Dr. Hyman’s comment, “The new Guidelines represent a genuine course correction. They’re not perfect. But they are historically important—and politically revealing.”
He critiques the new guidelines and shares insights into some long-standing questionable uses of low-fat products. Plus, it helps us understand the differences between fats and how they affect the body. I also appreciate the little quiz he offers to check your health.
However, the guidelines are just that, lines to follow, and more research is necessary, plus the next generation needs to get on board and discover more! Click here to check this out.
I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
