“I don’t know who or what to believe! I heard that fat is bad for me, but then somebody tells me how good flax oil is for you . . . and yet it’s fat. Then I heard carbohydrates were bad for me and I should eat more protein, like the Atkins diet . . . and then the Atkins guy dies of a heart attack, and I find out that the high-protein diet makes you toxic. One doctor tells you this and another tells you that. It seems that when it comes to good health, nobody can seem to agree.”
The statistics support this truth: We are rich in “money, stuff, and things,” but we’re very poor in our health. Ouch.
