Thank you for sharing this! I was just chatting with a colleague (who is an integrative nutritionist & herbalist) about the pervasive “all or nothing” messaging regarding foods. Obviously there are a lot of chemicals and toxins that have been added to foods that should be avoided and are clearly not good for anyone, but it’s the blanket statements regarding foods makes me crazy. No wonder our patients are so overwhelmed. Your most recent post on the benefits of coffee, and now this one are such great examples of why we need to avoid blanket statements about food~ especially real food. The details matter. Kraft processed American cheese slices are not the same as a raw cheese from a pasture raised animal, and wines are no different, depending on the quality of the grapes, the soil, the wine-making process. All this to say thank you to you for sleuthing out so many great studies and encouraging our clinician group to critically think. 🙌🙌🙌
thanks for writing this means a lot to me. you are so right! wish we had town meetings about life style for all america to witness calm, intelligent thought even from other sides. Did you know the FDA took dessicated thyroid out of compounders and companies last week?
I wish we did too! What? I did not know that about dessicated thyroid. Ever so silently, I see. It's so unreal what is happening in America right now. Follow the money trail right? The three letter agencies are not working for the people. :(
