This post is going to be one of those potpourri posts that allows me to catch up on a few issues that aren’t significant enough to require a post for each one. Lubricant I want to start out with a funny Q & A that I can across while catching up on my The Spectator…
The first Dietary Goals for the United States (DGUS) were released in 1977 to not a lot of fanfare. At that time, the great unwashed masses hadn’t really heard much about the word cholesterol, a substance the DGUS recommended that we should limit to 300 mg per day. Doctors didn’t routinely screen for it, and…
As anyone who regularly reads this blog can tell, Ive been a bit hit and miss in posting lately. The bride and I have been swamped with work on the Sous Vide Supreme project. MD has been working with chefs to develop recipes along with creating a bunch herself; she has been editing a book…

But these articles either keep getting displaced by something more timely or more blogworthy or even more substantive. Many are interesting, but not worth an entire…
I received the following email from Dr. Richard Feinman today asking for help on behalf of the Metabolism Society and low-carbers everywhere. Greetings! Here’s a good topic for your blog. The question bears on recommendations along the lines of the USDA meeting that is coming up. It arises from a seminar that Eric Westman gave…
Don’t hold your breath waiting for any significant changes in the government’s nutritional guidelines due to come out in 2010. The members of the ‘scientific’ committee have just been announced, and it is stacked with all the usual suspects. Here is a copy of the press release:nutritional-guidelines-press-release Take a look at the names and resumes…
In reading through Gary Taubes’ book Good Calories, Bad Calories I came upon the following dialog that I found all too familiar. It took place in 1973 during the first hearing of George McGovern’s Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs. A number of speakers made presentations on the adverse effects of carbohydrates on…
