What You Must Know About
Dear Reader,
Eating Your Way To Good Health
We've all heard the expression, "You are what you eat"... and many of us hope that just by upping our intake of broccoli or other green veggies will be enough to protect against devastating problems such as heart disease and cancer.
Recent research isn't supporting these hopes, casting doubt on the idea of cure all foods. Some experts are now suggesting significant change needs to come to how we approach diet and disease.
This comes as a result of a major new study that found that while vegetarians do seem to be diagnosed with fewer cancers than meat eaters, they weren't protected from bowel cancer.
This type of cancer had been thought to be particularly influenced by how much red and processed meat a person eats.
"But the suggestion of a reduced risk with increased fruit and vegetable intake once you take out all the other factors is much harder to prove. We are pretty much drawing a blank," says Tom Sanders, professor of nutrition and dietetics at King's College, London. "One of the myths is that fruit is bursting with minerals - it's not. It's essentially vitamin C and potassium - and most of us really have enough of these without five-a-day."
Somewhere along the way, the idea of eating healthy, without regard for calories seems to have taken hold. And as we all want to get the most for our money, portion sizes have increased dramatically.
Eating huge portions of healthy foods actually brings you a whole lot more calories than you may have realized. We've come to think of healthy foods, like fruits and veggies or other low-fat options, as free calories, and don't decrease our intake of other foods.
At the end of the day we've taken in more calories (eating healthy to be sure) and sabotaged our equally worthy weight control goals.
Perhaps public health efforts need to focus less on healthy foods as a cure all, and instead on controlling portion sizes, as well as making other healthy choices in our life that are good for our bodies.
Even eating the best, most healthy foods possible isn't going to be enough if you're smoking or engaging in other high-risk behaviors, being inactive, overweight or indulging in drugs and alcohol.

What You Must Know About Continued...
So when it comes to nutrient powerhouses like broccoli, spinach and cabbage, eat them because you enjoy them, but not because you're expecting some magical protective benefit.
The research continues to be murky, especially considering the levels of these veggies typically eaten by the general population. And while findings in the lab have not translated to the same thing happening in the real world, there still is hope among researchers that the active chemical in some healthy foods could be harnessed and optimized to be used to prevent cancer.
"I think the next ten years will be about further understanding the human genome and genetic variations - working out why people with similar lifestyles have such different vulnerabilities to disease," explains Professor Ian Johnson of the Institute of Food Research. "Once we can do this we can - in principle at least - start to target groups, and provide personalized diet information - nutritional genomics, we call it - rather than the blanket advice we issue at the moment."
The best advice on diet and health, besides giving up smoking and keeping your weight under control, comes from Henry Scowcroft of Cancer Research UK, "The greatest benefit is seen among people who adopt a healthy lifestyle overall, rather than those who focus on one particular aspect."
To your good health,
