Fibre's bad for you. Fat's healthy. And five-a-day is a gimmick to make fruit and veg firms rich. Or so claims a remarkable new book
'We think we know what to eat: less red meat and more fibre, less saturated fat and more fruit and veg, right? Wrong, according to a controversial new book by obesity researcher and nutritionist Zoe Harcombe.
In The Obesity Epidemic: What Caused It? How Can We Stop It? Harcombe charts her meticulous journey of research into studies that underpin dietary advice and her myth-busting conclusions are startling.'

Thank you. For a long time I stayed off all grains, as I thought they were the problem. But it seems that rice and oats etc are not a problem. Just wheat. I don’t know what is in just wheat but not any other grains.

Only if you eat it without the bun and it should be as raw as you can stand it.
Bread is ok, just don't mix with meat.
Grains are fine as long as they are not "enriched" - particularly whole grains like Oats, Semolina, or Quinoa.
Eat as much fruit as you can get. It isn't often we eat anything raw and fruit is a great way to get raw food with lots of good enzymes.
No REFINED sugar is a finer point. Honey, Agave, Black Strap Molasses, etc are good for you. Pure cane squeezin's are heavenly.
Sorry I’m so late reponding, I haven’t been on my puter for a couple of months. However I have started taking a full spectrum vitimin supplement and I feel much better AND I have lost 5 pounds. YEESSSSS.
I have never added salt to food. If I feel the need to add for taste I use garlic powder. I find it just as good and gives a good boast to food.
If you aren’t adding salt to your food, you may not be getting enough iodine in your diet. Most salt is iodized to prevent goiters in people who don’t eat enough sea food.
The taste of the food was not my point, but the nutritional value of the iodine in iodized salt.
If your full-spectrum vitamin contains iodine, you’re okay.
