5 Diet Fads Debunked

In Hannah Morrill's article 5 Diet Fads Debunked she attempts to separate the truth from the hype about diets.

On sugar addiction, Dr Avena says:

"It's impossible to have a healthy, sugar-free diet, so the best bet is to make sure sugar isn't the primary source of pleasure and calories. Beware of hidden sugars in things like salad dressings and sauces, don't let carbs control your eating habits. And don't be afraid of all sugar—fruit is an important source of fiber, and the fiber in fruit lowers cholesterol and glucose, and reduces blood pressure and inflammation."—Nicole M. Avena, Ph.D., author of Why Diets Fail
