Fruit is definitely on the maintenance diet. It's on the lifestyle diet.

A diet should be named after what you do eat, not what you don't eat.

What is the explanation for the blind eye that has been turned on the flood of medical reports on the causative role of carbohydrates in overweight, ever since the publication in 1864 of William Banting's famous "Letter on Corpulence"?

There is no better example of the weakness of our dominant medicine than its clearly ineffective War On Cancer. By the same token, there is no better example of the superiority of complementary, alternative medicine than its management of this dread disease. We are equally concerned about whether mainstream medicine's demand for proof works to maintain it at its current level of ineptitude.

I want the public to know the truth, not every condition affecting the heart comes from a blockage.
