THE WHOLE STORY

In this article on nutrition research, it's mentioned that "study after study links lifelong diets high in plant foods to lower cancer rates." So what do our nutrition leaders do with that knowledge of how the whole diet affects the metabolism? Tell people to eat lifelong diets high in plant foods? Of course not! The answer is to launch yet another study focusing on specific nutrients as if they operated in a vacuum! Meanwhile, a more comprehensive study found that a plant-based diet reduces cholesterol dramatically, possibly eliminating the need for cholesterol-lowering drugs. Heh heh - I can't wait to see what the pharmaceutical companies find to throw at this.
