The rise in obesity corresponds to the use of HFCS in everything, and everyone being told to eat more grains. High fat, high protein, and lots of complex carbs (fresh fruit and veggies) is the way to go. (And don't leave out lacto-fermented foods, too)
Yep, you are right on the money. The old-fashioned balanced diet was probably the best for the most. Genetics play a huge role, so that what is healthy for one group might not be for another. Since that’s taboo, the balanced approach makes the most sense across a large population. The food pyramid is a disaster.
I try to completely avoid soy and HFCS, and it’s not easy to do. I had soup yesterday, as I recovered from having a tooth pulled. Why is there soy protein in clam chowder???
