Obesity: Government Advice Makes You Fat and Poor
thehealthierlife.co.uk — “The UK government is considering a 'fat tax' similar to one recently introduced in Denmark, where a surcharge is being placed on foods that contain more than 2.3 per cent saturated fat... all in an effort to promote healthy eating and to stop the obesity epidemic. If this is not a shining example of how governments and the mainstream are sending out the wrong message, then I don't know what is! Higher tax rates on certain food products are not the answer to combating obesity, ” View full resource at thehealthierlife.co.uk

insidershealth.com — “An InsidersHealth.com article regarding nutrition - The Junk Food Tax: How Much Are You Willing to Pay to Get America Healthy? by Catherine Lewis. We all know healthy living largely entails foregoing junk foods that are high in calories, sugar, and saturated fats. We also know a large amount of the population has a very difficult time “just saying no” to temptation. But should the government step in once more to try to save us from ourselves? Health advocates seem to think so, as the” View full resource at insidershealth.com

Sugar: The Bitter Truth | Food Renegade
foodrenegade.com — “Last month, I shared two great videos which busted the Cholesterol Myth. After writing the post, I got a flood of emails. The typical comment? If saturated fat and cholesterol don't cause heart disease, what does? I've answered that question here at Food Renegade often enough, so I didn't feel compelled to write a separate post answering that good (but beaten to death) question. But today (thanks to blogger Ed Bruske @ The Slow Cook) I discovered a video presentation that answers the question qu” View full resource at foodrenegade.com

Proposed 2010 USDA Dietary Guidelines | Food Renegade
foodrenegade.com — “We shouldn't be surprised. After all, the USDA's dietary guidelines have long been backwards. By telling us to replace nutrient-dense saturated fats (a basic requirement of all cell membranes in the human body) with carbohydrates, the USDA food pyramid has fostered the obesity epidemic, surging rates of diabetes, and the dramatic upswing in cardio vascular disease. That's because if your body doesn't get enough saturated fats in your diet, it uses carbohydrates to create them. The unfortunate by” View full resource at foodrenegade.com

High-fat Dairy Lowers Risk of Heart Attacks | Food Renegade
foodrenegade.com — “Ha ha! I love it when nutrition scientists become confused by the latest research. Get this: Dairy foods are a major source of saturated fat in the diet, which has been associated with heart disease. However, there's some evidence that dairy foods could actually benefit heart health...Dr. Eva Warensjo of Uppsala University and her colleagues note in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. See what I mean? They just don't get it! Because they're so indoctrinated with the false notion that die” View full resource at foodrenegade.com

Is the tide turning in favor of saturated fat? | Food Renegade
foodrenegade.com — “Sadly, it's dangerous to think outside the box. Particularly in the scientific community. If you harbor a view that's contrary to the whole (even in light of good, sound, scientific evidence), you are demonized, belittled, and shunned. That's why when one of the world's most prominent lipid researchers did an (ahem!) honest review of the observational studies linking dietary intake of saturated fat to heart disease, I take notice. If he can get away with being honest, then surely the tide in sci” View full resource at foodrenegade.com

Coconut Water Is Nature’s Gatorade | Food Renegade
foodrenegade.com — “Coconuts have been so maligned in dietary circles that those of us who've jumped on the coconut bandwagon and started singing it's praises are often maligned ourselves. Coconuts are mostly saturated fat, so surely we must be absolutely crazy to promote it as a healthy food. But -- wonder of wonders -- coconut is making a comeback! And it's not just in circles like ours where we challenge politically correct nutrition in favor of traditional food wisdom. You'll never believe what I just saw.
