The Truth About Palm Oil

By now you've probably at least heard of trans fats, but may not know much about them. Are they good or bad for our health? What are they? Here's the quick and dirty: In response to the bad science erupting in the 1970's regarding heart disease and saturated fat consumption, the food industry created an alternative type of fat, trans fatty acids. These fats are made by applying high heat and pressure, along with some type of metal catalyst such as nickel, platinum, or palladium, to a fat (usually vegetable oil) to saturate, or fill up, all the bond sites. This alternative was used to create a similar tasting fat in processed foods, but without all the heart attacks and strokes. What was discovered much later was that heart disease continued to soar while saturated fat consumption was down, leading to the realization that trans fats were actually worse on heart health than the previous saturated fats, which is why the FDA ruled that by the end of 2018 all manufacturers mus...

Ketogenic Diet: Fad or Legit?

So, working as a clinical dietitian has its benefits in being able to help a very wide variety of patients, but lately I've been barraged with so many questions about the ketogenic diet. I did a previous post on the specifics of this diet and have actually been involved in helping people to get off of it (check out article in Shape Magazine ). Here's the deal: Finding a dietitian to work with is as tricky as finding the right doctor or teacher who really "gets you" and understands and supports YOUR current goals.

So regardless of what I personally feel about this ketogenic diet, here is the evidence I have found thus far: 1.
