Health Claims...A Common Pattern
I don't know about you, but I hear a LOT of health claims about a variety of food. Personally, I've always been a fan of the Food Guide Pyramid. I've never been on a diet, nor have I ever told myself that I can't have absolulutely nothing of any particular food item (i.e. chocolate, sugar, ice cream). That being said, I'm pretty health conscious. I pay attention to what I eat, but I don't think I go overboard about it.

I came across an article titled "Improve your mood with these foods" from the Today Show. I've read my fair share of articles about what is good to eat, what isn't, etc. But I see a common thread. I don't understand why we have so much "new" information about what seems to be a well-known fact about what constitues a "good" diet.

Whole grains, eating in smaller portions more frequently, fruits and veggies, low-fat dairy...the list goes on. Anything new? Nothing I've haven't heard of before.
