Abstract
Science-Based Strategies for Healthy Eating
Highlights
Americans are confused about how to eat. Much of what they learn comes from self-reported nutrition experts who are not giving fact-based information
Adopting one or two of these strategies should help people eat better, live longer, and if they are trying to lose weight, do so as well
Summary
The American diet is nutrient-poor and very good at promoting weight gain. By the year 2015, more than half of the population will be obese, according to researchers at Duke University [1]. I read the nutrition-related scientific literature constantly, and am up-todate on what is proven to work and what does not. In this Editorial, I review five recent articles, which provide sound advice on how to eat a healthy diet, while dispelling some common myths promulgated by socalled experts. These aren’t my ideas; I’m reporting what I think the key papers are. Adopting a healthy diet based on scientific studies will be rewarding, by reducing chronic diseases of aging and preventing weight gain. Following dietary recommendations with no scientific merit is unlikely to yield any benefit
