Good explanation on label reading. I know their tricks and I still get trapped occasionally. Dietician and nutritionist Jeff Novick (and former Kraft employee) does a great presentation on label reading: www.jeffnovick.com I enjoyed the Chinese herbalist interview, since I once studied acupressure and a little Taoism. He focused a lot on stress, so maybe in another podcast you could address mental training such as meditation that might help mitigate stress and cortisol response. I thought his cholesterol comments were strange, as he claims that cholesterol is not the issue, but antioxidants are. Yet animal foods contain no antioxidants, and plants contain no cholesterol. So I'll stick with Rich Roll and Brendan Brazier and go plant based. Great podcast!

That was really eye opening to think about the ingredients added in place of trans fats and how they could be just as harmful. I also liked your explanation of how the order in which ingredients are listed on a product may not reflect the true total amounts of sugars added to a product. With nutrition being such a dynamic area of study, what resources do you use to stay on top of the latest information? You always have such great and up to date information.
