What is the real source of the latest health and nutrition information?
We hear something new almost everyday with regards to diet or health or nutrition. Remember when eating eggs was harmful to your health? Now, "sources report" that eating up to 7 eggs a week should pose no significant health risk.
So who is researching this information in the first place?
I was intrigued to find out that the original recommended food groups and servings by the government did not include dairy as a food group. So who added it on there? Would you be surprised to hear that it was the dairy farmers that had something to do with it?
What else are we taking as unbiased scientific information that is really information fed to us by a specific group that can financially benefit from us believing what they say?
What do you think about the mass media fed "scientific" data guiding us on our yo-yo life of health and nutrition?
Keep rethinking everything.
