No. Eat meat, vegetables, nuts, seeds, some fruit, and no sugar. Eat what our DNA has been programed to for the last few million years.

he does a great presentation. i can't find it right now, but i know it's in the TEDtalksdirector Channel. Very enlightening without the distraction of angst from the interviewer.

It's more of an appeal to listen to common sense.

We have the food traditions that have been handed down through many generations, traditions with which we have evolved along side. These traditions include neither the fast-food burger from McDonald's nor the perfectly good food which is then broken down and rebuilt to be "fortified" with nutrients.

The truth is: it doesn't take a scientist to tell us how to eat right. But, it might take a journalist to remind us of that truth.
