What counts as “processed” deli meats?
My German and Czech ancestors seemed to thrive in things like sausage, ham and salami
They wouldn’t make as much if people were healthier
About 15 months ago I had open heart surgery, the very first meal they brought me the morning after surgery included fully caffeinated coffee, which was surprising to me.
This article just ruined my day. My pantry is full of this stuff.
The only thing on the list I very occasional consume is Campbell Chicken soup #8.
CNBC and MSN?
BARF!
Lies and Propaganda KILL.
Guilty of #2 on occasion, love me a Italian sub sandwich.
Guilty of #8 probably three times a week. I’m on a Progresso Soup kick as of late, but keep it to half a can, save the rest for another day. Even then it’s about 30% of RDA of sodium.
Re Deli Meats, I’ve never understood people’s love of, or for, charcuterie boards.
Very guilty of #2 and bread. Nothing like the melting of a fresh slice of mortadella on your tongue.
And a Jersey sub? Just day-um.
But I do limit it to once a month or longer...
Everything else on the list is occasional [like once a year or so] or not at all.
Flavored Coffee Creamers???
OK, I draw the line there ;-)
While I DO drink my half-caff (sigh) black at deer camp or while on a road trip, at home, in the mornings having coffee with The Queen, it SHALL be coffee WITH Italian Cream.
I’d have to read the article to understand what’s wrong with coffee creamer. And that would be very un-FReeper of me.
The rest we already consume very little of since I am the cook/chef. I’m hoping the fabulous Publix multi-grain bread isn’t on this author’s banned list.
There were no big surprises on that list. Many of those foods were warned about, when eaten in excess. Warned about since the days of Jack La Lane and Adele Davis.
In the cages to the right, we had 100 rats fed diet A, in the cages to the left, we had 100 rats fed diet F....
I thought evidence-based medicine was a hot item.
I have never touched or consumed that disgusting artificial drek called coffee creamer. On that 10 item list I eat white bread and occasional deli meats
Philadelphia Cream Cheese adds highly anticipated new item for the first time in its 150-year history (cheesecake)
I do like some deli stuff, pastrami especially, but for the most part I don’t like what’s on the list, but a cold Coke on a hot day I enjoy occasionally.
Do NYC rats have coronary disease problems?
I’m guilty of 2 and 5. Like anything moderation is fine. When you’re time’s up it’s up.
Interesting article. But also a bit confusing.
For example, the good doctor warns against margarine because many versions still contain trans fats.
Well, what about margarine that doesn’t contain trans fats?
6. Margarine and fake butter spreads
Once marketed as a heart healthy butter alternative, margarine turned out to be one of the biggest nutrition myths ...
9. Flavored coffee creamers
That morning splash...
“The dose makes the poison”
A tablespoon a day of anything short of arsenic is not going to kill you. That said, I’ve always gone for products resulting from the actual cow squeezings anyway because anything else is an inferior substitute.
Wonder how many of these 9 items in not a few years will turn out to nutrition myths?
One of the biggest nutrition myths is the so-called “heart heathy” diet promoted by the AHA, etc. Because of The Big Fat Lie it’s all carbs. Now everyone is obese and diabetic.
