Nina Teichholz fisks the quack Dean Ornish within an inch of his low-fat life.

USDA Dietary Guidelines
Playing politics with our health.
The Food Babe
Yes, she is a loon.
Though I don’t think this author is quite up to date on the science herself:
Coffee, before Starbucks turns it into a milkshake, is pretty healthy for you.
After, too. There’s nothing wrong with milk or fat in coffee.
The Paleo Diet
The results of a controlled metabolic study:
Even short-term consumption of a Paleolithic-type diet improved glucose control and lipid profiles in people with type 2 diabetes compared with a conventional diet containing moderate salt intake, low-fat dairy, whole grains and legumes.
Color me unsurprised.
Fake Meat
An interesting story on the state of the art. It’s still terrible.
I think he’s too pessimistic, though, and ignores the technology that will probably create the breakthrough: 3-D printing.
Red Meat
…is not the enemy.
It’s almost like everything we’ve been taught about nutrition for the past several decades is BS.
Dean Ornish
How many thousands of people has his junk science killed?
Sports Diets
“I ate 5000 calories of saturated fat per day, and this is what happened.”
Carb loading is a crock.
Emulsifiers
More evidence that the crap we’ve been putting in processed food (in part) to avoid fat is what’s making us fat. What a disaster.
Athletes
Should they be eating fat, or carbs?
Carb loading was always a crock.
