This idea was thoroughly debunked in 'The Biggest Loser' TV show. For 30 weeks, contestants severely restricted calories, exercised up to 7 hours/day, only to see the weight creep back…

We hear a lot about 'Big Dairy,' but did you know that dairy 'Check-off' program dollars are not even allowed to promote whole milk?

I question:
1. The overall health of these “high ranking” foods when accounting for process of creation, contamination, and additives

I created this chart from data by Dr. Mozaffarian, once Dean of Tufts School of Nutrition and now the head of the new Tufts University Food As Medicine Inst.
This is the food he apparently believes is medicine.
