In defense of food QQC

QQC

CH4

" A handful of lucky whole foods have recently gotten the 'Good nutrient' marketing treatment"

Are they correctly analyzing the structure of the nutrients?

The protein from plants and the protein from animals are completely different on a cellular level. And the protein from chicken and beef differ and have different attributes when used in the body.

CH5

"I have dwelled on this paper because it fairly reflects the current thinking on the increasingly tenuous links between dietary fat and health."

Does he mention genetics later in the book?

It's fine and dandy he looks to studies, but one thing that older studies overlook are genetics. One person may be able to utilize a certain kind of  fat than others in the same way people might be predisposed to heart disease.

CH6

"Play your cards right and you can even get the American Heart Association to endorse your new breakfast cereal as 'heart healthy'"

"I wonder if he talks more about political and corporate corruption in he book"

I remember he states the problem as "Why not change our diet" and this goes back to culture and media marketing. So the root would be exactly the corruption in the government and companies.
