Larger Lesson of “We Were Wrong about Saturated Fat”
28th March 2014
The experts were staggeringly wrong about saturated fat…but they couldn’t possibly be wrong about “sugar and ultra-processed foods”. That makes no sense, but that’s what Bittman wrote (“increasingly apparent”). To me, what is increasingly apparent is that nutrition experts shouldn’t be trusted.
I don’t know what “ultra-processed foods” are but I am beginning to believe the experts are utterly wrong about sugar, too. As far as I can tell, sugar in the evening improves sleep — by a lot, if you get the details right — and nothing is more important than good sleep. If you have read The Shangri-La Diet, you already know that sugar alone cannot have caused the obesity epidemic. It is more complicated than that.

Having listened to and ignored the virtues of wheat grass, macrobiotic rice, non-lacto-ovo vegetarianism, herbal supplements, et. al. I am not inclined to believe anyone’s opinions of healthy diets.
