The gist is, I believe that by 50, many of our diet-related pathologies have already been set well in motion. It would be interesting to see this study repeated on a younger population. Of course, instead of a set of pertinent negatives, I would also like to see medical dietary recommendations recast into things like: learn to make 45-minute vegetable soup. Bake your own bread. Discuss your plans over meals. Try a raw fruit-based dessert. This, of course, begs the questions: can physicians prescribe cooking lessons as a valid therapy?

Interesting. If low-fat is a fad, than that throws down the gauntlet on any number of seemingty self-evident diet strategies. Interesting.
