đ¨ The New Food Pyramid Drops â And the American Heart Association Is Throwing Shade. (At part of it!)
I thought the biggest fight was against obesity and diabetes, which I see as the largest factors driving heart disease.
But the AHA is hitting back. Theyâre raising a massive red flag, claiming the new pyramid promotes foods that will push us over the limit on two âold-schoolâ villains: saturated fats and sodium (salt).
They call these the primary drivers of cardiovascular disease.
So⌠is the AHA right that weâve forgotten the original threats to heart health?
Or is this outdated dogma distracting us from the real crisis of sugar, processed carbs, insulin resistance, and weight gain?
đŹ What do YOU think?
Is the focus on fat and salt a necessary warning â or are obesity and diabetes the real enemy we should be talking about?
