An Approach to a Healthy Diet
In my quest to eat healthy, I've been stymied by the contradictory information I receive on what seems to be a weekly basis. Recently it was a report that canned tuna may not have lots of Omega-3s. My friend Rebecca recommended Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy, by Harvard doctor Walter Willett. Based on evidence from large studies of diet and disease, he recommends a new way of eating. It looks like a great way to separate fact from fiction when it comes to making healthy eating decisions. Has anyone read this? Any thoughts?

I have read this and it's fabulous. I particularly found his discussion on the current USDA food pyramid to be fascinating. He talks about what a political process it was (that's why you won't see a distinction made between red meat and legumes in the protein category; wouldn't want to tick off the beef industry, you know!). He also sheds light on how difficult it is to study the effect of diet and nutrition -- you have to rely on people to do the things they say they're going to do!
