Synopsis

Nutrition is always in the news. Hardly a week passes without headlines about some new study or discoveryresearch showing that a certain diet (high in carbohydrates or fat, for instance) promotes weight loss or lowers cholesterol, that a vegetable reduces the risk of cancer, or that a food previously considered harmful has turned out to be healthful (or vice versa). This Wellness Report 2008: Eating For Optimal Wellness, focuses on the latest research connecting nutrition and disease prevention, and its aim is to help you make better-informed choices when it comes to your diet. We have evaluated hundreds of studies over the past year to see how they contribute to ongoing debates about healthy eating and provide practical advice for readers interested in optimal wellness.
