Interesting! I'll be waiting to see the results of Dr. Andrews next research project. That might capture some attention.

I found the link to that article on boingboing.net a couple of days ago. The article itself is truly interesting, but what was also interesting to me was that the comments about it on boingboing are almost universally hostile, along the lines of "quit telling me that the things I like to eat are bad for me."

I'm wondering if we're starting to reach a point where no matter what research studies may say about food and nutrition, a lot of people just don't want to hear about it anymore.

Most people have day jobs and lives to lead. They learn little if anything about good nutrition during their K-12 years of education.

Optimal nutrition has a serious and continuing marketing problem.
