Most of my blog posts are mainly information that will hopefully help you to improve your health. This one is very personal. Headline from the Washington Post this week "The US goverment is poised to withdraw longstanding warnings about cholesterol"

Really? What's next. are they going to advise us to quit smoking. Their low fat, high carbohydrate diet has precipitated a huge rise in obesity, diabetes, heart disease, alzheimer's, cancer, etc,. My father had several of these conditions when he died and his quality of life was nonexistent. He ate the standard low fat high carbohydrate diet recommended by the American Heart Association and his health suffered for it, as did the health and wellness of many others. Luckily for me, my mom did not buy into any of this B.S., I was raised on a diet of mostly unprocessed natural foods (fruits, veggies, grass fed beef, pastured eggs, fish, etc.), nothing that was processed or out of a box. Thank You Mom, my health is great.
The internet can a very good educational tool, do your research and make your own decisions. If you blindly follow the advice on the USDA, AHA, ADA, etc., your health and quality of life will likely suffer. The system is very corrupt and controlled by large food and drug corporations. Your health is not their first priority, $$ is.
