Was that zing really necessary? I'm trying to start a new diet plan over here, c'mon. There's just way too much good food in California.

Every problem is a solution in disguise: start a good food diet plan—people will certainly buy that.

lol. A tangent, but it so happens that my dad literally tried that because he hated CICO with a passion. An undiagnosed genetic condition took his life (this is a long time ago) before he could publish his book.

If what you're telling me is that eating healthy, getting enough sleep and exercising can halt or reverse Alzheimer's it's not going to exactly shock me. The real fad is how amazingly stupid Americans are about their own health.

Ah yes, every single one of them. And none of the people in any other country.

American culture is staggeringly unhealthy. Denying this is impossible.

Maybe I'm a cynic but it strains credulity that the miracle cure is also a laundry list of fad health trends from the the last decade. Gluten free, intermittent fasting, yoga, melatonin, probiotics, etc etc

It's quite easy to label something as a fad rather than to attempt to parse the data that supports the interventions they prescribed to the patients in the study (of which there is plenty).

Given that Americans work more than most other countries it’s a wonder how they get enough sleep or time to cook healthy.

México, Costa Rica, Korea, and Greece would like a word, on both working harder and eating better:

Not sure we're alone. Take the UK, for example. 2/3 are either overweight or obese. Better than the US? Sure. But what a weak victory that is.

Can we get one supplement pill that merges all of those that need to be consumed? Kthx.

someone always wants a shortcut :P

To a rough approximation, I'd wager that someone == everyone.
