Fitness trainer Kevin Brown and nutritionist Annette Presley have written a new book called The Liberation Diet about how to lose weight and get healthy eating real food. I’ve read the book and I love it. It’s full of great information on how to eat healthfully and get slim and real-life testimonials by people who have followed the program and dropped excess weight. And not with soy shakes, rice cakes or processed TV dinners. This eating plan prescribes real butter, bacon, cheese, and burgers. Now that’s my kind of diet!

This week in the Nutrition News Roundup I have a testimonial to share. I got a phone call from my mother-in-law last week. My in-laws, after eating coconut oil 4 times a week for about a month, saw a drop in their total cholesterol and their LDL. Nancy’s LDL dropped 38 points, from 143 to 105. Ed’s went down 49 points, from 172 to 123.

Do you know someone with osteoporosis or osteopinea? Do you want to prevent osteoporosis in yourself or your family members? Do you have growing kids who need to build strong bones and teeth?

This week in the Nutrition News Roundup I’m covering two stories: the recent increase in kidney stones in kids and its possible connection to HFCS (or high fructose corn syrup) and the recent study reporting that eating red meat causes cancer.

Ask any mother (or any dentist for that matter) what causes cavities and they’ll tell you it’s sugar and not brushing and flossing. But is that really true?

What if it was all the corn flakes, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and pasta we’re feeding our kids that’s causing their cavities? What if we could change our diet and not only prevent cavities, but actually reverse them?

If you read my blog regularly, you know I’m a big fan of butter and heavy cream, but not so much into things like jogging (shudder) or volleyball (God forbid! I avoid all sports with objects that fly through the air.)
