Now on CNN - a fascinating program I saw part of last week.

[Jane Austin]

It's called America's Killer Diet.

The most interesting part to me was about the Omega 3 and 6 oils and their role in depression.

1. I can't believe CNN would air such a thing... Dr. Gupta has

never mentioned it to my knowledge.

2. Mentioned what? . . . n/t

[HysteryDiagnosis]

4. Omega threes and depression... or anything natural at all that has

positive effects against "disease".

[Jane Austin]

5. There was an emphasis on home-cooked "real" food.

It even featured the doctor from Public Citizen!

6. The part about the oils and fats

showed how our intake of soybean oil (omega 6) has seen a "radical shift" to the upside, which makes the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3s all out of whack.

He even mentioned the use of high fructose corn syrup.

I know. I was pretty surprised, too.

7. Read Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food."

[Beaverhausen]

8. and his "The Omnivore's Dilemma"

did you know there is an online petition to get Obama to name Pollan secretary of agriculture?

[alfredo]

9. Yeah, but he said he's not interested. He's happy where he is.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

10. That ratio has a direct effect on the body's ability to halt the

inflammatory process when it it time to do so.

3. I've read alot about "the good fats" (essential oils) and the topic

is fascinating. I'll try to see if I can catch this show when it's on again.

One book I read is "Eat Fat, Lose Weight" by Gittleman.
