old lady who lived until 116 (an age I can only dream of) drank three Dr. Peppers a day.
Today, if a 20 year old gal told her doctor that, he would say she is going to have diabetes by 30, stroke or heart attack by 40, dead by 50.
The bottom line is that due to conflicting/changing information people are going to want tasty treats.
Criminals trying to run our lives! Eff them all.
The reason consumers are going back to traditional products with real ingredients is that they are tired of consuming card board gussied up to look like real food.
Under the new thinking, not all fat is bad, and neither are all salty foods

But I’m pretty sure sugar is, for your teeth if nothing else. Eat what you like but when we all pay the cost of dental and other treatments it is a societal concern.
I am not a scientist nor do I play one on TV but isn’t it possible because of an individual’s genetics that different foods affect different people differently?
I would think genetics plays a large part in a person’s body shape and their overall health.
I would think the only advise anyone needs is moderation in all things, and include some exercise in your life. May not live longer but you will enjoy the life you have.
“The government should stop trying to dictate what people eat.”
It’s all about generating revenue and nothing about health.
What liberals hate most is any unregulated freedom. Everything you
do must be taxed and controlled. We have three presidential
candidates that see no problem with this.
I’ve gotta say, the metronome of culinary persecution never really influenced my eating habits. I pretty much eat what I like...and don’t eat what I don’t like (including peas Mr Obama).
The amount of fat and sodium you consume is between your doctor and the patient...you. As a patient who is LOW SODIUM I read labels, and put it back on the shelf if it exceeds what I’m allowed. Get out of our food and let us and our doctors decide what is best for us. I Have to read labels for SOY as like grapefruit I’m NOT allowed it effects thyroid medicine. What you eat is your business and depends on your health needs, not the governments dictates.
Eggs use to be A NO-NO as was butter, no one mentions that margarine does not digest well, and your body needs a certain amount of fats to function. Eggs are called Nature’s Perfect food.
Want better food, grow your own and can or freeze it. It made me cry last fall when moles invaded my 300 strawberry plant bed, they destroyed all 300. Didn’t touch the Blackberries thankfully. When hubby had the bed cleared of dead plants it was bare dirt. I’m having to start over this time they are going into lg kiddie plastic swimming pools on tables, it will take 3 years for the 100 plants I was able to get in to spread.
We can’t put down poison as our dogs use the back yard. And my Morkie is a mole digger like most terriers are. I’ve had a few presents left by the door or even brought in. She gets sick when she tries to eat them.
Fearfully and wonderfully (and uniquely) made.
The more science learn about the body, the more it discovers it doesn’t know. Multiple complex systems the the interaction between which science only barely understands. They may be ok with two systems, but three, four, five? Not a chance. And that doesn’t consider external inputs like environmental, nutritional, etc.
The best thing anyone can do is chart their own history and manage the inputs. Get your medical records. Create blood work comparatives over years. Where possible try and associate health changes to data changes. No doctor is going to do this for you.
There is no one size fits all and there are few absolutes. You just have to try and figure out what works and doesn’t for you.
What happened to the thread I just read a couple of hours ago about Michelle Obama saying Pizza and french fries are her new favorite foods?
I wish I could find 5 lb blocks of mozzarella as easily as the 5 lb blocks of part skim. I am sick of what they’ve done to most foods.
If obamacare is good for you, so are cigarettes.
