This is one of the best articles in a long time. I've read the scientific ones for years, but a current one from a doctor who has changed his thinking is pure gold...and he explains it simply like Doug explained 'sugar' in his book.

Thank you,
Ann

I love Doug's explanation of sugar. Its' a really easy visual to look at so-called "healthy" options and see sugar. I look at things that way now. As someone who teaching public speaking (for now) for a living, I can attest to the power of solid but simple visual aids. They are highly effective and make the point very well.

20 years ago I went through quadruple bypass surgery.  I have done exceptionally well.
After the surgery I went through cardiac rehab. We met with doctors, dieticians, nutritionists and did controlled exersice.  One thing that was pointed out was that we can do all we can to make our lives "heart healthy' but, realistically, we can only control 15 to 20 % of it.  The rest is heredity.  Why is this never mentioned ?
Another interesting point was when a heart surgeon pointed out that when he had to do what he called a redo within five years it usually was on people that were dumb enough to pick up the cigarettes again !

Twenty years is fantastic!  And now with FATTOSKINNY you won't have those pesky sugars irritating/inflaming your arteries/entire body either. 

And Welcome to Fat To Skinny, too...from another newbie.

All the best,
Ann
