Even More Evidence That We’re Eating All Wrong

“My general recommendation? Take grandmother's advice,” says Anand. “Have a balanced diet, consume foods from different food groups, and don't restrict yourself from any one group, or eliminate an entire group. And in general, buy whole foods and cook them at home.”

That's the best advice in my opinion. I eat whole grain bread in moderation, and keep rich desserts for occasional treats. I use butter instead of margarine, but don't slather it on everything. I just don't have a craving for things like gravy, whipped cream, etc., but I have a weakness for mango ice cream, which I have once or twice a year.
