honestly eating healthier is good but also you can make your self fat and sick by eating too much, weather its good or bad, consumption in moderation no matter what it is is smart. and if white rice is bad why are most asians thinner than average Americans? their diet consists of mainly white rice not whole grain brown rice. honestly this kinda mumbo jumbo is just another way for people to try and be control freaks, eating less and exerisizing more, is a good way to stay healthy, dont oink out. eat to live, not live to eat.

I I agree about most of these things although green tea leaves me a little cold. I think diet soda is excellent for washing your car. Trail mix is a great snack idea I have indulged in for years--beats most sugary stuff, but the sugary stuff is enjoyable on occasion too. I eat tuna and sardines on a regular basis and lots of many kinds of nuts. But I love cheese and eggs as well. By the way, i am over 80 years of age and have a strenuous workout every day--7 days a week. Exercise--when done right--is the KEY to a long, healthy life, although food plays a meaningful part.

5. Use olive oil instead of butter Butter is the bad kind of fat. Also included in this saturated fat category: peanut oil,... Switch for olive oil or one of the other monounsaturated fats,... ...Others include... ...peanut oil,(?) and sesame oil. So which is it? Is peanut oil good or bad?

Dr. Mao forgot to list the ninth swap. Leave your cheese and eat grass. You get to process it instead of the cow.

The section on butter vs. olive oil is a little contradictory. In the first part of the paragraph it says peanut oil is bad for you. Yet at the end where there is a list of good oils peanut oil is on the list. So is peanut oil good or bad???

This article would have benefitted from a good editor. Just one example: is peanut oil bad for you or good? It's cited in lists for both saturated and unsaturated fats.

I'm allergic to gluten, and to the gluten-containing solution used to enrich rice. Not even the health food stores can stock unenriched rice due to a 30's law demanding enrichment of all rice sold in USA. Can someone tell me how to buy non-enriched rice please, and where?

Please check item #5. You say peanut oil is a (saturated bad kind of) fat, then you list peanut oil again as a monosaturated (good kind of?) fat.

No rice is healthy. If you are going to eat any grain or legume make sure to soak it for at least 24 hours. This nutrients phytates and other anti-nutrients. Tea is no good; Whether you drink oolong, wuyi, pu-erh, green etc., you are taking in high amounts of fluoride. Fluoride is very bad for health. There is nothing wrong with red-meat. All studies done that degrade it lack strong science. Fats are healthy. One must eat fat to loose fat. Butter is healthy. Saturated fats are not bad. They are necessary for biological functions of the body. There is no conclusive scientific evidence that supports the Lipid Hypothesis. So, eat like primitive cultures do; animal products, soaked grains and legumes, fermented veggies, fat etc. Check out Weston A. Price foundation. Their information is backed by substantial scientific evidence.

Your "swap" statements are incorrectly stated, and they imply just the reverse of what you want to convey. "Swap green tea for coffee." implies that you are giving up green tea FOR the "healthier" coffee, not the other way around. The correct statement would be--"Swap coffee FOR green tea" since you go on to say that tea is the healthier choice. The other "swap" statements should be, likewise, reversed. since the author states that the second mentioned food or beverage is the healthier of the two.
