“The
state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of the state of
your mind.”
-Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
The
latest news on nutrition from the “Atkins Diet” crowd is that
carbohydrates cause cancer. You might suspect that this is an
oversimplification and you’d be right. When I spoke with John Gilman on
this, he confirmed my suspicions that the research is tied to the
warnings I presented in previous FitBit articles on the dangers of
acrylamides. As a refresher, the frying and baking of simple
carbohydrates (namely flour from grains) creates acrylamides that become
carcinogenic in the body. I would like to tell you more on this, but
John had just recently received a letter from Johns Hopkins that we both
felt had greater urgency to you (besides, you can go back to previous
issues of FitBits and FitNews archived on the website).
Sincerely,
Jim Bell, President, IFPA
