The Egg Industry: Exposing a Source of Food Poisoning

In my June 2015 newsletter article, "There Are Lies and Damned Lies: Damned Lies Harm the Public and Planet Earth," I expressed my outrage over an "Opinion" piece in the June 23/24, 2015 Journal of the American Medical Association. The article applauded the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee's (DGAC) recommendation for the "elimination of dietary cholesterol as a 'nutrient of concern'…and the absence of an upper limit on total fat consumption." The JAMA article was referring to the updated 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, released in January of 2016. Previous US Dietary Guidelines had recommended that people consume less than 300 mg per day of dietary cholesterol, which is about one large egg.

Featured Recipes

We are bringing back the bowls from our August 2009 newsletter with a few additions and updates. Our family uses this theme for dinner often – grains, beans, veggies (steamed and fresh) and a sauce or salsa. This formula works well and, with a little variation, a different bowl can be made every night of the week. My kids love this because they can add what they like and make it how they like it. The tofu is optional and your choices of grains, beans and vegetables will make each dish yours. What we have listed are just suggestions, feel free to use your imagination.
