For the up-to-date-on-nutrition challenged, I offer the following links:

There are far more available for those that want to google it...
Thing is, new evidence shows how a low fat, high carb diet is killing people. I've known several
myself that went on that type of diet at the recommendation of their personal physicians that
ended up having to go on statins (which are very hard on the liver) because the diet changes DID
NOT WORK!!!
is it so hard to believe that the original theories were just plain wrong? And the current crop of
Doctors were trained that way, so they are going to continue to promote it. Sad.

I like this link as it stresses starch carbs vs. "green" carbs. One reason I prefer the greenwich
diet over Atkins. I'm not a high fat fan, (since calories still count) but eggs only have 5 grams
each and you need up to 25 grams per day to maintain skin health. Eggs are also very rich in trace
minerals which are difficult to get in a regular diet.

The thing with plants and trace minerals is if they are lacking in the soil, they will NOT be in the
food that is supposed to have them according to most nutritional charts. The vast majority of
commercial farming is now done in depleted soils using commercial fertilizers that contain just
enough nutrients to get the plants to grow! This is the major reason why organic veggies really are
more nutritious than non-organic.

Eggs are your freind, bread is your enemy. It's hard to give it up. Very hard, but i finally did it.
At least most of the time. <G> It's been relegated to "treat" status...
