For example:
Demonization of saturated fatty acids = biggest hoax since 9/11 conspiracy
Second biggest hoax = a calorie = a calorie = calorie
One needs to more importantly consider the 1) Psychological/neurotransmitter effects of eating (remember that most of your serotonin is in your digestive track, not your brain; in addition there are many nervous system connections to the brain and separate from the brain!); 2) Hormonal effects eg. insulin, glucagon, leptin and cortisol for example (shock: much of the reason one binges, not to mention puts on weight is in part related to Leptin dysfunction?; 3) Being "kind" to your GI tract (after all 80% of your immune cells are in your GI tract--not to mention it's the biggest surface area of the body exposed to the outside environment; 4) Inflammatory effects of the foods eaten.
Grains = contribute to many diseases and inflammation. Actually the conversion of grains/CHO in the liver to palmitic acid is more responsible for CHD than eating red meat. And actually the body needs saturated fats.
PUFA = especially seed oils contribute to inflammation. Monosaturated fats or olive oil are far better choices.
Many "best" sources given for different micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals eg. dairy for Ca++ are erroneous.
The big problem is that people aren't eating nutrient dense foods with "brakes" eg there's only so much you can eat of a steak but you can eat three bags of Oreos since there's no nutritional content.
