Whole grains are healthier than refined grains in exactly the sense that filtered cigarettes are healthier than unfiltered cigarettes.

Yes, sugar is unhealthy, but wheat is worse.

Kids need fat.

Boost Your Fat Intake to Save Your Brain
By Emily Main

Two-thirds of the human brain is made up of fats. So when you don't get enough good, healthy fat in your diet, the levels of fatty acids in your brain become imbalanced, and you can wind up suffering from hyperactivity, depression, or, according to a new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, cognitive decline.

The study’s authors looked at the dietary histories of 482 women over the age of 60 and put them through a series of cognitive tests. They found that women who had a higher intake of monounsaturated fatty acids—those found in olive oil, avocadoes, nuts, and some types of fish—suffered less cognitive decline over the course of the three-year study than women with low to no monounsaturated fat intake. The difference was particularly marked in the areas of memory and in visual-spatial recognition.

You speak God's truth. Too bad it will take the rest of society and many of the stridently nostalgic on this board 50 years to figure it out.

- Fat doesn't make you fat, sugars/carbs do.

- Cholesterol is manufactured by your internal organs.

- Finely processed grains and sugars are blood poison and offer little to no nutritional value.

This elitist wench and the goons at the FDA should be in jail for what they want to FORCE on other's children. They have no idea WTF they're doing.
