He's the head of the Dept of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health - I used to work with his group before moving to Germany - anyhow, the book is AWESOME! It's all the results of the decades of research on thousands of men and women and nutrition - SUPER interesting and in 'real people' speak. Interesting recipes in the back, too. <br /><br />Also, Nina Simonds, I used to work for her too, her cookbook "Spices of Life", is an Asian/American mix of things, really tasty stuff - ahhh =) and all in her book she has cool notes and sections on he healing properties of certain ingredients, etc. <br /><br />Go to B&N and check the books out! (heh, and see my name in Nina's acknowledgments, the only time will likely ever be 'in print', lol!)Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08098104395235008315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32262446.post-74516053329025100192010-03-27T09:39:58.281-07:002010-03-27T09:39:58.281-07:00Yeah... high fructose corn syrup is kinda the devi...Yeah... high fructose corn syrup is kinda the devil. <br /><br />I'll look into that, Kim!!!

Although, even if you know this,...Good stuff, lady! Although, even if you know this, sometimes it's hard to remember. <br /><br />Something I found out today, that things we don't expect high fructose corn syrup in, it's hidden there. Well not hidden I guess, if you look but even breads and yogurt so make sure to check your labels! There's a new Princeton study that HFCS makes rats more obese than rats eating 2x the amount of regular sugar. So my new goal is to cut as much HFCS out as possible<br /><br />And Kim, according to my nutritionist, whole wheat pasta, as long as it's high in fiber, is a complex carb so ok in moderate amounts. <br /><br />And Mandi doll, congrats! You're doing well :)Surabufixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524149079535902488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32262446.post-90548747828644338902010-03-26T16:24:35.453-07:002010-03-26T16:24:35.453-07:00Wow!

Like, where does whole wheat pasta fall in the spectrum? :)Kim Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02820320983163578648noreply@blogger.com
