Just when we all thought we'd figured out some of the basics of health(ier) eating, the results of an epic survey were just released noting that apparently, all the attention paid to following a low fat diet turns out to be hogwash. A long term study of 49,000 women revealed basically that there was ultimately no health difference in terms of cancer, heart disease, etc. among those that followed low fat diets and those that ate normally.
This is bad.
I remember during the hayday of Aktins dieting, people were filling their plates with fatty meats, eggs, etc. because they were told to avoid carbohydrates. They weren't told to go hog wild on bacon, steak, etc., but they often did. I wonder what their arteries will ultimately look like? But this study's results have the potential to do the same thing: persuade a relatively unsophisticated public that they can eat whatever they want and keep on truckin'.
Of course, this is totally the wrong way to think, especially given the sedentary nature of many adults and children. However, I can see the buttery popcorn, cheese fries, and chicken fried steaks piling up on the plates of Americans everywhere.
Also: Another reason to like Janet Jones
She's good looking, she's married to the greatest hockey player ever invented, and now this - she's part of a football gambling ring operating out of New Jersey!!! What next - she can cook chicken fried steak?
