Newer dietary fads appear on a frequent basis and promoted by paid gurus as the latest to burn the fat, decrease weight etc, that one becomes jaded after a while.
I have always believed that the following words in food advertisements need to make you wary of the products.
LOW as in LOW FAT (usually high in sugar, artificial substances) as an example, also LOW CHOLESTEROL etc
HIGH as in High Fructose Corn Syrup which is a poison, high in anti-oxidants etc
I had never been a fan of LOW FAT or LOW CHOLESTEROL diet. As a cultural anthropologist, I had observed that my French Family, eats five course lunch and dinners and at least two of those courses are fat laden as in Yoghurt, Cheese, as examples. It is a known fact that the French have half the rate of Cardiovascular disease compared to the Americans who eat much less FAT..
The measurements of Cholesterol which is now so popular can be used as a measure of inflammation in the body and an anti inflammatory consortium of foods can decrease it. It was taught to me by an American Indian whose cholesterol levels were in 300 plu mg/dl range (considered quite dangerous! by the medical establishment) who in the course of one month brought it down to 160 mg/dl (no medications added such as STATIN)
I was surprised
How did you do it?

I am looking forward to a week long stay with the family in Brittany, and of course they would have Yoghurt, Comte Cheese that I like and needless to say some good French Wine..
