David Perlmutter: Optimal Diet for Brain Health

It started with Grain Brain, but it is increasingly clear that a high-fat, high-fiber, low-carb diet is a scientifically validated and viable nutrition plain for not just brain health, but for total health. A diet with this makeup is one that fosters positive health in the gut, creating a microbial balance that sets the stage for a reduced risk for disease like Type 2 Diabetes. What does that diet look like in execution? Find out in today's video.

I started reading that NYT piece, but didn't get more than a few paragraphs in.... Yeah, let's lump Perlmutter with Oz, who flogs raspberry ketones fergawdsskae -- obviously the same level of quackishness to a guy who is promoting less sugar, and more fiber and omega-3 fats!

This is the same kind of BS that Tim Noakes in SA is dealing with, for suggesting that whole foods might just be better for babies than sugar-laced chemical stews! There's no doubt in my mind that the panicking processed-food industry is pulling in all their chits so the protests will SEEM to come from different directions.
