February 13 by in Failed low-fat diets, Science & health, The food revolution

Too much is at stake when it comes to the current health crisis, to simply continue to promote obsolete and ineffective advice, argues a new op-ed in Vancouver Sun. The upcoming Canadian dietary guidelines – the first update in 10 years – can’t keep promoting a low-fat diet:
