Two Dietitians Wonder What’s the Healthiest Way of Eating

September 10, 2022 · 7:00 AM

A couple of dietitians did and massive literature review looking for evidence that diet has an effect on major health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Sounds interesting, and similar to my own obsessive review done between 1995 and 2005. It bothers me that “hypertension” is misspelled in the abstract.

Homemade, Vinegar-Free Ketchup – JennifersKitchen

Plus, commercially-available ketchup gets super processed to remove most or all of the fiber.
