Document Summary
Jane brody high priestess of nutrition ; ny times columnist (no powerpoint) Good diet = not rocket science, fundamentals of a good diet have not really changed. Michael paulin"s mantra: eat food, not too much, and mostly plants. Broccoli has a natural toxin vs. (i. e. that attacks) the thyroid gland; reason to be cautious in using terms like natural meaning safe . Natural is a concept much like the other food-fads (ex: antioxidant, gluten free, high carb, low carb ) People jump on nutritional band wagon of things they think the consumer will buy ex: gluten free, suddenly everyone is gluten-sensitive (celiac disease) Food should not be thought of as a delivery system for certain nutrients. Our bodies do not know how to process individual/isolated nutrients ex: fructose vs. sucrose broken down naturally by the body. Low fat craze (i. e. people eating foods just because they"re low in fat! ) prompted people to snack between leading to increased calories anyways.
