El doctor Mark Hyman analiza cuidadosamente cada grupo alimenticio, nos explica en qué nos hemos equivocado.
¿SabÃas que comer avena en el desayuno no es tan saludable como creÃas? ¿Qué la leche no ayuda a construir huesos fuertes y que los huevos no son tu enemigo? Incluso quienes estamos más preocupados por nuestra salud tenemos dificultades para decidir qué comer si deseamos perder peso, mantenernos en forma y mejorar nuestra salud. ¿Y quién puede culparnos? Cuando se trata de dietas la información cambia constantemente y es tan contradictoria que es imposible saber dónde buscar consejo. Y décadas de “sentido común†errado, información manipulada por la industria de la comida y polÃticas alimentarias erradas sólo han agravado nuestra confusión y ansiedad cuando nos enfrentamos a las opciones en el supermercado.
