This makes me sad for three reasons: 1) you are spreading FUD with your fad after fad comment, it's simply not true. There is a lot of crap info out there but it's trivially easy to sort it out with the internet at our fingertips. News headlines are not the best way to get your nutrition and exercise information. 2) A whole hell of a lot has changed in just the last 10 years or so, never mind 1996. Pretty much every single bit of "conventional wisdom" about diet and nutrition has been tossed out now that there are actual controlled double blind studies being done on things that were previously taken for granted like "fat makes you fat" or "whole grains are healthy" food pyramid nonsense that was never, never, based on any good science at all. 3) You know so little yet are so willing to comment on it. That just makes me sad, I expect that on other sites and discussion forums but supposedly we are all smart people here.
