When babies nurse, he notes, they're getting dosed with a mild drug: \"Milk contains opiates that reward the baby for nursing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's no different with the cow's milk — or other mammalian milk — from which cheese is made.

He cites studies in the book that tie eating cheese to weight gain and risks of numerous diseases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barnard suggests that giving up cheese is associated, for example, with relief of asthma symptoms. In an email, Barnard summarized the case for this association this way:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"Dairy proteins appear to trigger inflammation, apparently by triggering the release of antibodies, which leads to the constriction of the tiny muscles in the airways. By avoiding dairy proteins, the trigger for the attacks is gone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In the book, Barnard notes that vitamin D may play an important role in protecting us against some types of cancers. Citing prostate-cancer data, he suggests that because dairy products are high in calcium and calcium intake can slow down activation of vitamin D, cancer risks may increase with cheese-eating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also tells the story of Ruth Heidrich, who opted for a vegan diet and exercise instead of chemotherapy and radiation to fight breast cancer that had spread to her bones, liver and one lung. It is fabulous that this approach \u003ca href=\"https://www.forksoverknives.com/how-i-went-from-cancer-patient-to-ironman-triathlete/\">succeeded for Heidrich in quite remarkable fashion\u003c/a>, but cancer affects each person differently — and I do worry that anecdotes like this one may influence some cancer patients to turn away from treatments they need. (Yes, I know chemotherapy and radiation can be highly toxic. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2013/11/28/247220289/a-messy-sort-of-gratitude-giving-thanks-for-radiation\">I've been there\u003c/a>. But they can also save lives.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.nationaldairycouncil.org/\">National Dairy Council\u003c/a> does not endorse Barnard's descriptions of cheese. On Tuesday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nationaldairycouncil.org/content/contributors/greg-miller\">Greg Miller\u003c/a>, the council's chief science officer, responded to my request for comment about some of Barnard's claims by offering a perspective firmly centered on cheese-eating as part of a healthy diet. Among the points Miller made were these:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"On average, Americans eat about 1 serving (i.e., 1.5 ounces is a My Plate serving) of cheese per day. There are lots of options to select from — Swiss for low-sodium, reduced-fat or regular. Plus, cheese contains nutrients like protein, calcium, phosphorus and B vitamins (i.e., B12, pantothenic acid and niacin).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cheese in moderation can be part of a healthy eating plan meeting total fat, saturated fat, and sodium recommendations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And as far as that \"dairy crack\" crack of Barnard's?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The idea that any food, including cheese, can be addictive in the same way as any drug is misleading and will only add to consumer confusion about healthy eating,\" Miller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, Miller points to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21696306\">research from Harvard School of Public Health\u003c/a> that shows no association between cheese and long-term weight gain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Barnard includes a chapter in \u003cem>The Cheese Trap \u003c/em>called \"The Industry Behind the Addiction\" that describes \"the relentless lobbying of the powerful dairy industry\" to promote cheese despite its risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barnard's central message about the costs of cheese-eating includes something I find to be quite important: costs to other animals, like dairy cows. He summed up those costs in his email:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"All of us are concerned about our personal health and that of our families. But we are not alone on this planet, and our food choices have enormous effects on animals and the environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dairy cows are artificially inseminated annually, then separated from their offspring so that we can take their milk, then killed by around age 4 so that their higher-production offspring can take their place. A visit to a dairy farm will soon convince any thinking person that this is not civilization's proudest achievement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>What about a person who is convinced by Barnard's human-health-and-animal-welfare argument to the extent that she decides to reduce her cheese intake, rather than giving up cheese altogether?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People are free to make their own choices, of course,\" Barnard wrote. He continued:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"However, if one's goal is to lose weight, there is something to be said for not teasing yourself with occasional doses of the very food that caused the problem in the first place. Better to end that bad love affair. If a person is concerned about asthma, migraine, rheumatoid arthritis, or other sensitivities, one soon loses all desire for the food product that caused the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, if you have children, it would be best to never introduce them to unhealthful foods at all. The taste for cheese is a great introduction to childhood obesity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Cheese Trap \u003c/em>concludes with more than 60 pages of recipes, ranging from oats-and-cashew-based \"cheesecake\" to whole-grain pizza.

Others are addictive. Cheese is both — fattening \u003cem>and \u003c/em>addictive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>I'd never before thought in terms of dairy products being addictive (with the personal exception of milk chocolate, I admit). Barnard explains that dairy protein — specifically a protein called casein — has opiate molecules built in. When babies nurse, he notes, they're getting dosed with a mild drug: \"Milk contains opiates that reward the baby for nursing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's no different with the cow's milk — or other mammalian milk — from which cheese is made. In fact, Barnard says, the process of cheese-making \u003cem>concentrates \u003c/em>the casein:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"A cup of milk contains about 7.7 grams of protein, 80 percent of which is casein, more or less. Turning it into Cheddar cheese multiplies the protein count seven-fold, to 56 grams.

He cites studies in the book that tie eating cheese to weight gain and risks of numerous diseases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barnard suggests that giving up cheese is associated, for example, with relief of asthma symptoms. In an email, Barnard summarized the case for this association this way:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"Dairy proteins appear to trigger inflammation, apparently by triggering the release of antibodies, which leads to the constriction of the tiny muscles in the airways. By avoiding dairy proteins, the trigger for the attacks is gone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In the book, Barnard notes that vitamin D may play an important role in protecting us against some types of cancers. Citing prostate-cancer data, he suggests that because dairy products are high in calcium and calcium intake can slow down activation of vitamin D, cancer risks may increase with cheese-eating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also tells the story of Ruth Heidrich, who opted for a vegan diet and exercise instead of chemotherapy and radiation to fight breast cancer that had spread to her bones, liver and one lung. It is fabulous that this approach \u003ca href=\"https://www.forksoverknives.com/how-i-went-from-cancer-patient-to-ironman-triathlete/\">succeeded for Heidrich in quite remarkable fashion\u003c/a>, but cancer affects each person differently — and I do worry that anecdotes like this one may influence some cancer patients to turn away from treatments they need. (Yes, I know chemotherapy and radiation can be highly toxic. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2013/11/28/247220289/a-messy-sort-of-gratitude-giving-thanks-for-radiation\">I've been there\u003c/a>. But they can also save lives.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.nationaldairycouncil.org/\">National Dairy Council\u003c/a> does not endorse Barnard's descriptions of cheese. On Tuesday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nationaldairycouncil.org/content/contributors/greg-miller\">Greg Miller\u003c/a>, the council's chief science officer, responded to my request for comment about some of Barnard's claims by offering a perspective firmly centered on cheese-eating as part of a healthy diet. Among the points Miller made were these:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"On average, Americans eat about 1 serving (i.e., 1.5 ounces is a My Plate serving) of cheese per day. There are lots of options to select from — Swiss for low-sodium, reduced-fat or regular. Plus, cheese contains nutrients like protein, calcium, phosphorus and B vitamins (i.e., B12, pantothenic acid and niacin).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cheese in moderation can be part of a healthy eating plan meeting total fat, saturated fat, and sodium recommendations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And as far as that \"dairy crack\" crack of Barnard's?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The idea that any food, including cheese, can be addictive in the same way as any drug is misleading and will only add to consumer confusion about healthy eating,\" Miller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, Miller points to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21696306\">research from Harvard School of Public Health\u003c/a> that shows no association between cheese and long-term weight gain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Barnard includes a chapter in \u003cem>The Cheese Trap \u003c/em>called \"The Industry Behind the Addiction\" that describes \"the relentless lobbying of the powerful dairy industry\" to promote cheese despite its risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barnard's central message about the costs of cheese-eating includes something I find to be quite important: costs to other animals, like dairy cows. He summed up those costs in his email:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"All of us are concerned about our personal health and that of our families. But we are not alone on this planet, and our food choices have enormous effects on animals and the environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dairy cows are artificially inseminated annually, then separated from their offspring so that we can take their milk, then killed by around age 4 so that their higher-production offspring can take their place. A visit to a dairy farm will soon convince any thinking person that this is not civilization's proudest achievement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>What about a person who is convinced by Barnard's human-health-and-animal-welfare argument to the extent that she decides to reduce her cheese intake, rather than giving up cheese altogether?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People are free to make their own choices, of course,\" Barnard wrote. He continued:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"However, if one's goal is to lose weight, there is something to be said for not teasing yourself with occasional doses of the very food that caused the problem in the first place. Better to end that bad love affair. If a person is concerned about asthma, migraine, rheumatoid arthritis, or other sensitivities, one soon loses all desire for the food product that caused the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, if you have children, it would be best to never introduce them to unhealthful foods at all. The taste for cheese is a great introduction to childhood obesity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Cheese Trap \u003c/em>concludes with more than 60 pages of recipes, ranging from oats-and-cashew-based \"cheesecake\" to whole-grain pizza.

Along the way, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers and Lean Cuisine made fortunes off their low-calorie, low-fat diet programs and products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it seems those days are over, according to industry analysts and nutritionists. \"Dieting is not a fashionable word these days,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://hnrca.tufts.edu/people/scientists/q-z/susan-b-roberts-ph-d/\">Susan Roberts\u003c/a>, a professor of nutrition and psychiatry at Tufts University. \"[Consumers] equate the word diet with deprivation, and they know deprivation doesn't work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Mintel, a market research firm, few people are purchasing diet products anymore. A \u003ca href=\"http://store.mintel.com/diet-trends-us-october-2015\">survey\u003c/a> of 2,000 people released by the firm in October found that 94 percent of respondents no longer saw themselves as dieters. They were also disillusioned with the industry: 77 percent of the consumers surveyed said that diet products are not as healthy as they claim to be, and 61 percent said most diets are not actually healthy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Consumers are not dieting in the traditional sense anymore – being on programs or buying foods specific to programs,\" says Marissa Gilbert, an analyst from Mintel who worked on the report. \"And there's greater societal acceptance of different body sizes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's really hurt the dieting industry, Gilbert says. From summer 2014 to summer 2015, Lean Cuisine's frozen meal sales dropped from around $700 million to about $600 million, or about 15 percent. Weight Watchers, Medifast and Jenny Craig have also seen revenues wither over the past few years. Sales of diet pills have dropped 20 percent in the last year, according to the Mintel report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts says it's likely because many people who wanted to lose weight tried these diets and programs but weren't successful. \"They've tried Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig and books and things of their own design,\" she says. \"It didn't work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Jean Fain, a Harvard Medical School-affiliated psychotherapist and author, has \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/11/09/455322454/is-the-weight-watchers-oprah-winfrey-partnership-good-for-dieters\">noted\u003c/a>, programs like Weight Watchers typically are just \"a short-term fix and conditional support for long-standing eating issues\" and can even exacerbate them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With each subsequent failure, people become more skeptical about the products. Some give up on losing weight altogether, Roberts adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many people do still want to lose weight, and increasingly they're hoping good nutrition and \"healthy eating\" will get them there, says R.J. Hottovy, a senior equity analyst with market research firm Morningstar. \"Consumers are looking for a more holistic, more health and wellness approach,\" he says. \"The shift in food trends is toward fresher and more natural ingredients.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is there's a lot of disagreement over what a healthy, well-balanced meal looks like. Half of the people in Mintel's survey said they didn't know what to think about nutrition and wellness information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we've reported, even the federal government isn't sure what \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/11/11/455506222/whats-natural-food-the-government-isnt-sure-and-wants-your-input\">\"natural\u003c/a>\" means. And increasingly consumers have to contend with terms like \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2013/03/09/173840841/gluten-goodbye-one-third-of-americans-say-theyre-trying-to-shun-it\">gluten-free\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/07/29/426743443/to-shed-pounds-going-vegetarian-or-vegan-may-help\">vegan\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/08/19/432774389/gmos-are-becoming-a-proxy-for-bigger-concerns-about-the-food-system\">non-GMO\u003c/a> in the grocery store. These and other restrictive notions of eating have been quick to catch on, but often don't have consistent scientific evidence backing them up as healthful or effective for weight loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts, who also founded a weight loss start-up called \u003ca href=\"https://www.theidiet.com/\">iDiet \u003c/a>but says she doesn't currently make money from it, observes that food companies are taking advantage of the chaos. \"Companies are bombarding [consumers] with gluten-free, sugar-free, cholesterol-free, and it's got us to a very bad place because people don't know what to think anymore,\" she says. \"I think what [consumers] want to do is lose weight by eating sensibly. That's the holy grail of weight loss, and\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>the companies say, 'We'll lock into that.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while Weight Watchers' point system emphasizes \"natural\" fare and home-cooked meals, \u003ca href=\"http://www.eatyourbest.com/\">it's still manufacturing\u003c/a> processed, high-sodium, low-fiber products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Julie Lehman, marketing director for Lean Cuisine, the company, which is owned by Nestle, has put new labels on products that were already cholesterol-free or gluten-free without changing their formulations. \"Lean Cuisine is an emblem of the diet culture that we've all grown up with. We know that and we want to walk away from that and focus on eating well and eating healthy,\" she says. The brand has added \"No Preservatives\" and \"Gluten-Free\" and \"Non-GMO\" labels and a new line of frozen meals, certified organic by the nonprofit Oregon Tilth. \"Consumers are demanding some of these things, and we want to offer it to them,\" Lehman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts is unconvinced. She doesn't see the products getting any healthier. \"They can relabel them, but the meals are not any different. If you open a box of Lean Cuisine or something like that, you'll see about a quarter cup of veggies in there. Is that an outstandingly healthy meal? By my standards, it's not.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People will still be hungry and still feel deprived, and may ultimately not meet weight loss goals, she says. \"They'll give healthy eating a bad name just as they gave dieting a bad name.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the evidence suggests that a variety of different strategies may help individuals lose weight. For some people, a pattern of eating like \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/01/05/462036387/best-diets-2016-from-fastest-weight-loss-to-conquering-cravings\">DASH \u003c/a>might be best.

Along the way, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers and Lean Cuisine made fortunes off their low-calorie, low-fat diet programs and products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it seems those days are over, according to industry analysts and nutritionists. \"Dieting is not a fashionable word these days,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://hnrca.tufts.edu/people/scientists/q-z/susan-b-roberts-ph-d/\">Susan Roberts\u003c/a>, a professor of nutrition and psychiatry at Tufts University. \"[Consumers] equate the word diet with deprivation, and they know deprivation doesn't work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Mintel, a market research firm, few people are purchasing diet products anymore. A \u003ca href=\"http://store.mintel.com/diet-trends-us-october-2015\">survey\u003c/a> of 2,000 people released by the firm in October found that 94 percent of respondents no longer saw themselves as dieters. They were also disillusioned with the industry: 77 percent of the consumers surveyed said that diet products are not as healthy as they claim to be, and 61 percent said most diets are not actually healthy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Consumers are not dieting in the traditional sense anymore – being on programs or buying foods specific to programs,\" says Marissa Gilbert, an analyst from Mintel who worked on the report. \"And there's greater societal acceptance of different body sizes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's really hurt the dieting industry, Gilbert says. From summer 2014 to summer 2015, Lean Cuisine's frozen meal sales dropped from around $700 million to about $600 million, or about 15 percent. Weight Watchers, Medifast and Jenny Craig have also seen revenues wither over the past few years. Sales of diet pills have dropped 20 percent in the last year, according to the Mintel report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts says it's likely because many people who wanted to lose weight tried these diets and programs but weren't successful. \"They've tried Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig and books and things of their own design,\" she says. \"It didn't work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Jean Fain, a Harvard Medical School-affiliated psychotherapist and author, has \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/11/09/455322454/is-the-weight-watchers-oprah-winfrey-partnership-good-for-dieters\">noted\u003c/a>, programs like Weight Watchers typically are just \"a short-term fix and conditional support for long-standing eating issues\" and can even exacerbate them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With each subsequent failure, people become more skeptical about the products. Some give up on losing weight altogether, Roberts adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many people do still want to lose weight, and increasingly they're hoping good nutrition and \"healthy eating\" will get them there, says R.J. Hottovy, a senior equity analyst with market research firm Morningstar. \"Consumers are looking for a more holistic, more health and wellness approach,\" he says. \"The shift in food trends is toward fresher and more natural ingredients.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is there's a lot of disagreement over what a healthy, well-balanced meal looks like. Half of the people in Mintel's survey said they didn't know what to think about nutrition and wellness information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we've reported, even the federal government isn't sure what \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/11/11/455506222/whats-natural-food-the-government-isnt-sure-and-wants-your-input\">\"natural\u003c/a>\" means. And increasingly consumers have to contend with terms like \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2013/03/09/173840841/gluten-goodbye-one-third-of-americans-say-theyre-trying-to-shun-it\">gluten-free\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/07/29/426743443/to-shed-pounds-going-vegetarian-or-vegan-may-help\">vegan\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/08/19/432774389/gmos-are-becoming-a-proxy-for-bigger-concerns-about-the-food-system\">non-GMO\u003c/a> in the grocery store. These and other restrictive notions of eating have been quick to catch on, but often don't have consistent scientific evidence backing them up as healthful or effective for weight loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts, who also founded a weight loss start-up called \u003ca href=\"https://www.theidiet.com/\">iDiet \u003c/a>but says she doesn't currently make money from it, observes that food companies are taking advantage of the chaos. \"Companies are bombarding [consumers] with gluten-free, sugar-free, cholesterol-free, and it's got us to a very bad place because people don't know what to think anymore,\" she says. \"I think what [consumers] want to do is lose weight by eating sensibly. That's the holy grail of weight loss, and\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>the companies say, 'We'll lock into that.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while Weight Watchers' point system emphasizes \"natural\" fare and home-cooked meals, \u003ca href=\"http://www.eatyourbest.com/\">it's still manufacturing\u003c/a> processed, high-sodium, low-fiber products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Julie Lehman, marketing director for Lean Cuisine, the company, which is owned by Nestle, has put new labels on products that were already cholesterol-free or gluten-free without changing their formulations. \"Lean Cuisine is an emblem of the diet culture that we've all grown up with. We know that and we want to walk away from that and focus on eating well and eating healthy,\" she says. The brand has added \"No Preservatives\" and \"Gluten-Free\" and \"Non-GMO\" labels and a new line of frozen meals, certified organic by the nonprofit Oregon Tilth. \"Consumers are demanding some of these things, and we want to offer it to them,\" Lehman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts is unconvinced. She doesn't see the products getting any healthier. \"They can relabel them, but the meals are not any different. If you open a box of Lean Cuisine or something like that, you'll see about a quarter cup of veggies in there. Is that an outstandingly healthy meal? By my standards, it's not.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People will still be hungry and still feel deprived, and may ultimately not meet weight loss goals, she says. \"They'll give healthy eating a bad name just as they gave dieting a bad name.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the evidence suggests that a variety of different strategies may help individuals lose weight. For some people, a pattern of eating like \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/01/05/462036387/best-diets-2016-from-fastest-weight-loss-to-conquering-cravings\">DASH \u003c/a>might be best. Others are arguing for \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2012/09/10/160757730/low-and-slow-may-be-the-way-to-go-when-it-comes-to-dieting\">low glycemic foods and eating slowly\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/01/15/463071516/place-a-bet-on-your-weight-loss-goal-and-you-may-win-twice\">Financial incentives\u003c/a> like a wager on weight seem to work, too.

He points to a weight-loss study published in \u003cem>JAMA\u003c/em>, the Journal of the American Medical Association, that found people on a low-carb diet burned about 325 more calories a day compared to those on a low-fat diet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says a key problem in our diets are processed carbohydrate: breads, cereals, crackers, cookies, candy and sugary drinks. \"Anything containing primarily refined grains or concentrated sugar digests rapidly, and raises insulin levels,\" he writes. And this elevated insulin sends a signal to fat cells to store or hoard calories. \"Fat cells take in or release calories only when instructed to do so by external signals — and the master control is insulin.\" Too much insulin, Ludwig argues, causes weight gain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His book includes recipes and meal plans that translate the science into a prescriptive weight-loss plan. \"Our program builds on [the] Gycemic Index [diet], but we do the work for the reader so there is no need to count anything - GI values or calories,\" he tells us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2016 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/105778/best-diets-2016-from-fastest-weight-loss-to-conquering-cravings","authors":["byline_bayareabites_105778"],"categories":["bayareabites_1245"],"tags":["bayareabites_14051","bayareabites_663","bayareabites_12330","bayareabites_15193","bayareabites_11260","bayareabites_2613","bayareabites_11836"],"featImg":"bayareabites_105779","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_98724":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_98724","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"98724","score":null,"sort":[1438273135000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"to-shed-pounds-going-vegetarian-or-vegan-may-help","title":"To Shed Pounds, Going Vegetarian Or Vegan May Help","publishDate":1438273135,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>Most people go vegetarian out of some combination of ethical, environmental or health concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to drop pounds?

And it seems we need regular sleeping and eating schedules to keep all of our clocks in sync.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies show that if we mess with the body's natural sleep-wake cycle — say, by working an overnight shift, taking a transatlantic flight or staying up all night with a new baby or puppy — we pay the price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our blood pressure goes up, hunger hormones get thrown off and blood sugar control goes south.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We can all recover from an occasional all-nighter, an episode of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/05/15/152690836/jetlagged-by-your-social-calendar-better-check-your-waistline\">jet lag\u003c/a> or short-term disruptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But over time, if living against the clock becomes a way of life, this may set the stage for weight gain and metabolic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What happens is that you get a total de-synchronization of the clocks within us,\" Turek says, \"which may be underlying the chronic diseases we face in our society today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So consider what happens, for instance, if we eat late or in the middle of the night. The master clock — which is set by the light-dark cycle — is cueing all other clocks in the body that it's night. Time to rest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The clock in the brain is sending signals saying: Do not eat, do not eat!\" says Turek.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when we override this signal and eat anyway, the clock in the pancreas, for instance, has to start releasing insulin to deal with the meal. And, research suggests, this late-night munching may start to reset the clock in the organ. The result? Competing time cues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The pancreas is listening to signals related to food intake. But that's out of sync with what the brain is telling it to do,\" says Turek. \"So if we're sending signals to those organs at the wrong time day — such as eating at the wrong time of day — [we're] upsetting the balance.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there's accumulating evidence that we may be more sensitive to these timing cues than scientists ever imagined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consider, for instance, the results of a weight-loss study that we \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/01/30/170591028/to-maximize-weight-loss-eat-early-in-the-day-not-late\">reported\u003c/a> on, which was \u003ca href=\"http://www.nature.com/articles/ijo2012229.epdf?referrer_access_token=dfwcZDpYAoJZu6Z-jfDWKNRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0OoXMYxeUF5K1SF8LoOyYhWHpTWbYAprLsgGQpZUO-8dRgCsqvc69Y6ybR2icWqKNZrh_6mGhPVx5UkksCfOoxHL20408_DDob5XOcvWupyp7UK9qL-EM1cBouacqb4ctvAQEttrbhdfb73szArvXfotICQ2OLQHwSxoMZuG_s0AKrTt1X14w0q94UPGaCHOdB-HeTw-VJC8ISkWpFd62jb&tracking_referrer=www.npr.org\">published\u003c/a> in the \u003cem>International Journal of Obesity\u003c/em>. Researchers found that the timing of meals can influence how much weight people lose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The finding that we had was that people who ate their main meal earlier in the day were much more successful at losing weight,\" says study author \u003ca href=\"https://sleep.med.harvard.edu/people/faculty/242/frank+a+j+l+scheer+phd\">Frank Scheer\u003c/a>, a Harvard neuroscientist who directs the \u003ca href=\"https://sleep.med.harvard.edu/research/labs/54/Medical+Chronobiology+Program+MCP+Research+on+Circadian+Rhythms+in+Health+and+Di\">Medical Chronobiology Program\u003c/a> at Brigham and Women's Hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, early eaters lost 25 percent more weight than later eaters — \"a surprisingly large difference,\" Scheer says. Another\u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23512957\"> study\u003c/a> found that eating a big breakfast was more conducive to weight loss, compared with a big dinner — adding to the evidence that the timing of meals is important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond weight management, there's evidence that the clocks in our bodies --and the timing of our sleeping, eating and activities — play multiple roles in helping us maintain good health.

And it seems we need regular sleeping and eating schedules to keep all of our clocks in sync.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies show that if we mess with the body's natural sleep-wake cycle — say, by working an overnight shift, taking a transatlantic flight or staying up all night with a new baby or puppy — we pay the price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our blood pressure goes up, hunger hormones get thrown off and blood sugar control goes south.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We can all recover from an occasional all-nighter, an episode of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/05/15/152690836/jetlagged-by-your-social-calendar-better-check-your-waistline\">jet lag\u003c/a> or short-term disruptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But over time, if living against the clock becomes a way of life, this may set the stage for weight gain and metabolic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What happens is that you get a total de-synchronization of the clocks within us,\" Turek says, \"which may be underlying the chronic diseases we face in our society today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So consider what happens, for instance, if we eat late or in the middle of the night. The master clock — which is set by the light-dark cycle — is cueing all other clocks in the body that it's night. Time to rest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The clock in the brain is sending signals saying: Do not eat, do not eat!\" says Turek.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when we override this signal and eat anyway, the clock in the pancreas, for instance, has to start releasing insulin to deal with the meal. And, research suggests, this late-night munching may start to reset the clock in the organ. The result? Competing time cues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The pancreas is listening to signals related to food intake. But that's out of sync with what the brain is telling it to do,\" says Turek. \"So if we're sending signals to those organs at the wrong time day — such as eating at the wrong time of day — [we're] upsetting the balance.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there's accumulating evidence that we may be more sensitive to these timing cues than scientists ever imagined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consider, for instance, the results of a weight-loss study that we \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/01/30/170591028/to-maximize-weight-loss-eat-early-in-the-day-not-late\">reported\u003c/a> on, which was \u003ca href=\"http://www.nature.com/articles/ijo2012229.epdf?referrer_access_token=dfwcZDpYAoJZu6Z-jfDWKNRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0OoXMYxeUF5K1SF8LoOyYhWHpTWbYAprLsgGQpZUO-8dRgCsqvc69Y6ybR2icWqKNZrh_6mGhPVx5UkksCfOoxHL20408_DDob5XOcvWupyp7UK9qL-EM1cBouacqb4ctvAQEttrbhdfb73szArvXfotICQ2OLQHwSxoMZuG_s0AKrTt1X14w0q94UPGaCHOdB-HeTw-VJC8ISkWpFd62jb&tracking_referrer=www.npr.org\">published\u003c/a> in the \u003cem>International Journal of Obesity\u003c/em>.

But so far, the links to lower blood pressure and heart health have been the strongest – and one of the few benefits to pass muster in the eyes of science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was holding out for scientists to prove chocolate's aphrodisiac effect,\" Finley jokes. \"But it's the cardiovascular benefits that will probably pan out. Our findings are one more brick in the road to proving that one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Finley is talking about cocoa powder here: The stuff that has no sugar and milk in it. \"Our results don't translate to a Hershey bar,\" he says. \"But cocoa powder goes well with many foods. I put it on my oatmeal every morning with berries.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cocoa powder is packed with potent antioxidants, called \u003ca href=\"http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/81/1/215S.full\">polyphenols\u003c/a>. These healthful molecules are also found in dark berries and black tea. And they're known to help the heart and possibly prevent cancer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's one major problem with many polyphenols: They're so large that they don't get absorbed into the blood. That's where the critters in your gut can help out, Finley says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previous studies have found that gut bacteria like to feast on polyphenols from blackberries and tea. So Finley wanted to see what the bugs would do with the polyphenols in cocoa powder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and his students passed the cocoa powder through a device that mimics the human gut. First, it treats the cocoa with enzymes like the ones in your stomach. And then the remaining material goes through an \"artificial colon.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a rather yucky way of mimicking people's lower gut,\" Finely says. \"It's just a mixture of fecal matter. We pay people $20 to give us a sample. We get a lot of graduate students to volunteer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sounds gross, but those \"donations\" are teeming with life — trillions of bacteria that see the cocoa powder as a five-star dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The microbes break down the polyphenols into smaller molecules that are more likely to make it across the gut into the blood,\" Finely says. Those compounds are the good ones that help reduce inflammation and stress in the blood vessels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the friendly bacteria don't stop there. They also feasted on the fiber in cocoa powder, Finley and his team found. \"The microbes break down the fiber into \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21266094\">short fatty chain acids\u003c/a>, which get absorbed and can have an effect on satiety,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Finley and his team have to confirm their results in real digestive tracts. \"The next step is to give people cocoa powder and see if we can find these metabolites in the blood,\" he says.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Those types of experiments are critical to figuring out exactly what's in chocolate that makes it healthy for the heart, says \u003ca href=\"http://foodscience.psu.edu/directory/jdl134\">Joshua Lambert\u003c/a>, a food scientist at Pennsylvania State University, who wasn't involved in the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the big missing link right now,\" Lambert tells The Salt. We know now that gut bacteria can break down cocoa into compounds that have beneficial cardiovascular effects, he says. But we don't know yet if these are the critical ones inside the blood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, I'll keep indulging my gut bacteria with a few cubes of extra dark chocolate each day.

The magic may reside in our microbes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The friendly bacteria in our guts can gobble up cocoa powder and turn it into compounds known to help the heart, food scientists from Louisiana State University \u003ca href=\"http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/pressroom/newsreleases/2014/march/the-precise-reason-for-the-health-benefits-of-dark-chocolate-mystery-solved.html\">reported\u003c/a> Tuesday at the American Chemical Society meeting in Dallas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The critters also convert the cocoa powder into molecules that reduce inflammation and help tell us when we're full.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These are good compounds to have in your gut,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.lsu.edu/foodscience/Faculty/Finley.html\">John Finley\u003c/a>, who led the study. \"They can get absorbed into your blood\" and protect cells in your blood vessels from stress, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For centuries, people have been attributing a vast array of \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3708337/\">health benefits\u003c/a> to eating chocolate, from curing fertility and fatigue to fever and dental problems. But so far, the links to lower blood pressure and heart health have been the strongest – and one of the few benefits to pass muster in the eyes of science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was holding out for scientists to prove chocolate's aphrodisiac effect,\" Finley jokes. \"But it's the cardiovascular benefits that will probably pan out. Our findings are one more brick in the road to proving that one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Finley is talking about cocoa powder here: The stuff that has no sugar and milk in it. \"Our results don't translate to a Hershey bar,\" he says. \"But cocoa powder goes well with many foods. I put it on my oatmeal every morning with berries.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cocoa powder is packed with potent antioxidants, called \u003ca href=\"http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/81/1/215S.full\">polyphenols\u003c/a>. These healthful molecules are also found in dark berries and black tea. And they're known to help the heart and possibly prevent cancer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's one major problem with many polyphenols: They're so large that they don't get absorbed into the blood. That's where the critters in your gut can help out, Finley says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previous studies have found that gut bacteria like to feast on polyphenols from blackberries and tea. So Finley wanted to see what the bugs would do with the polyphenols in cocoa powder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and his students passed the cocoa powder through a device that mimics the human gut. First, it treats the cocoa with enzymes like the ones in your stomach. And then the remaining material goes through an \"artificial colon.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a rather yucky way of mimicking people's lower gut,\" Finely says. \"It's just a mixture of fecal matter. We pay people $20 to give us a sample. We get a lot of graduate students to volunteer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sounds gross, but those \"donations\" are teeming with life — trillions of bacteria that see the cocoa powder as a five-star dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The microbes break down the polyphenols into smaller molecules that are more likely to make it across the gut into the blood,\" Finely says. Those compounds are the good ones that help reduce inflammation and stress in the blood vessels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the friendly bacteria don't stop there. They also feasted on the fiber in cocoa powder, Finley and his team found. \"The microbes break down the fiber into \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21266094\">short fatty chain acids\u003c/a>, which get absorbed and can have an effect on satiety,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Finley and his team have to confirm their results in real digestive tracts. \"The next step is to give people cocoa powder and see if we can find these metabolites in the blood,\" he says.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Those types of experiments are critical to figuring out exactly what's in chocolate that makes it healthy for the heart, says \u003ca href=\"http://foodscience.psu.edu/directory/jdl134\">Joshua Lambert\u003c/a>, a food scientist at Pennsylvania State University, who wasn't involved in the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the big missing link right now,\" Lambert tells The Salt. We know now that gut bacteria can break down cocoa into compounds that have beneficial cardiovascular effects, he says. But we don't know yet if these are the critical ones inside the blood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, I'll keep indulging my gut bacteria with a few cubes of extra dark chocolate each day. Seems like a win-win situation for both of us. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2014 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/79226/thank-your-gut-bacteria-for-making-chocolate-healthy","authors":["byline_bayareabites_79226"],"categories":["bayareabites_1653","bayareabites_1245","bayareabites_10916"],"tags":["bayareabites_11226","bayareabites_11456","bayareabites_147","bayareabites_13168","bayareabites_13169","bayareabites_11477","bayareabites_11096","bayareabites_12699","bayareabites_10921","bayareabites_13170","bayareabites_11836"],"featImg":"bayareabites_79236","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_77737":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_77737","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"77737","score":null,"sort":[1391639639000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"ladies-good-bacteria-in-yogurt-may-be-good-for-waistlines-too","title":"Ladies: Good Bacteria In Yogurt May Be Good For Waistlines, Too","publishDate":1391639639,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_77738\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/istock_000013423289large_wide-2cede0fc6b09660bb9455ff4f5037fca1e586d3c.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/istock_000013423289large_wide-2cede0fc6b09660bb9455ff4f5037fca1e586d3c-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"A probiotic commonly found in yogurt seems to help women lose more weight and fat, a recent study finds.
