[caption id="attachment_4141" align="alignleft" width="300"] Trish Bennett[/caption] National Eating Disorder Awareness Week is February 26th - March 3rd. 28.8 million Americans will suffer from an eating disorder in their lifetime.  Eating disorders can affect anyone and carry an increased risk of suicide and medical complications. I want to share my personal story with all of you, hoping it may resonate with you or someone you love. Suffering from bulimia and then anorexia for a decade, I weighed 79 pounds at the height of my disease. To put it bluntly, I should be dead right now. At age 30, I thought I had overcome it, but I would then trade one obsession for another (isn’t that always the case for addictive personalities).

Recently, while reviewing a patient’s labs in the office, I was shocked when she proclaimed her primary physician told her she needed to stop eating eggs because it was raising her cholesterol. I was surprised to hear that someone was still giving this advice. I know some in the lay population have not gotten the memo, but I was surprised a physician would still be that misinformed. Unfortunately, I continue to hear this advice from patients: “To reduce your cholesterol, eat fewer eggs and eat less meat.” There has been a lot of misinformation about eggs. Hopefully, this article will help to straighten things out. First, I thought I would share some fun facts about eggs to keep this light, and then I will get into all the...

By Nancy Palermo Lietz, MD “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will instruct his patient in the care of the human frame in diet and the cause and prevention of diseases. “ Thomas Edison Americans have an obsession with nutrition, diet, and weight loss. Countless books on the subjects hit the bestseller list, only to be replaced by the next publication in print. It should be no surprise that Dr. Colin Campbell’s book, The China Study, quickly hit the bestseller list. His epidemiologic project demonstrated thousands of associations between dietary factors and disease. The most relevant finding, however, was that those individuals who ate the most animal-based foods had the most chronic disease. More importantly, his findings launched thousands of studies in nutrition that...
