A video posted to Facebook and Instagram from a personal fitness account makes claims about cholesterol and diet that are misleading. The post claims dietary cholesterol does not affect bodily cholesterol and that carbohydrates and low fat foods are the cause of problems with cholesterol levels. But cholesterol in food does have an effect on the level in the body, and for some people this effect is very pronounced. The implication that carbohydrate is mainly responsible for raised cholesterol levels […]
Finding lower-fat menu items at fast-food restaurants isn’t an easy feat. Most fast food choices are laden with fat, especially saturated fat, which has been linked to a higher risk of heart disease. To be able to enjoy fast food as part of a lower-fat diet, your best bet is to be prepared. Below are 10 fast food menu options that provide less than 30% of total calories from fat for the meal. Although total fat is kept in check, […]
Are you going to automatically get fat from eating fat? No. There isn’t a single nutrient that will inherently make you fat when you eat them in reasonable amounts, and not in excess. In the 1950s, the “saturated fat causes heart disease” hypothesis was born.

In Northern Ireland you used to be able to pick blackberries until the end of September, even early October, so we made the first crumble then, blackberries and apples under a crust of toasted hazelnuts, butter, wholemeal flour and brown sugar. Every year I think about Seamus Heaney’s Blackberry-Picking, a melancholic poem that reminds you how violently things can change in this season. The picked berries never last until the […]
Statement Highlights: A new American Heart Association scientific statement assesses and scores the heart healthiness of popular dietary patterns. Several dietary patterns, including the DASH-style eating plan, Mediterranean, pescatarian and vegetarian eating patterns, received top ratings for aligning with the Association’s dietary guidance. A few eating patterns, including Paleo and ketogenic diets, contradict the Association’s guidance and did not rank as heart-healthy eating patterns. The statement suggests opportunities for dietary research and interventions to promote health […]
When it was built in 1954, the fast food restaurant at the corner of Ida and Monterey streets In San Luis Obispo was at the intersection of car culture, mid-century modern architecture and culinary convenience. Much as changed since then. Ida Street was renamed when California Boulevard was extended. Hamburger joints have mostly changed from independent spots to chains, while architecture has gotten more bland. Before it was home to Splash Cafe, the building at 1491 Monterey St. housed Ed’s […]
WASHINGTON — Pragmatism, rigorous science and affordability are among considerations that should be front and center for the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC), according to a range of industry and other groups. Brief comments from dozens of organizations were submitted as video presentations or delivered live virtually for the third public meeting of the DGAC held Sept. 12-13. Directed to a panel of 18 committee members, commenters responded to scientific questions identified by the Department of Health and Human Services […]
This new list of some of our most popular and beloved October recipes can only mean one thing: it’s officially, truly fall. Here and there, the leaves are changing color, and depending where you live, it’s likely that you need to grab a coat before you head out in the morning. Maybe you’re planning a trip to a pumpkin patch or an apple orchard. Or perhaps your head is still spinning from the chaos that is back-to-school schedules and meetings. […]
