Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.",

His topic: the growing public health concerns over the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/series/136462878/living-large-obesity-in-america\">obesity epidemic\u003c/a> and the role packaged and processed foods were playing in it.

We offer products that are low-fat, low-sugar, have whole grains in them, to people who are concerned about eating those products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Bottom line being, though, that we need to ensure that our products taste good, because our accountability is also to our shareholders.

Moss' research, however, indicates that government regulation may be necessary to implement industrywide standards in the interest of public health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was surprised to hear from the former CEO of Philip Morris, who is no friend of government, no friend of government regulation,\" says Moss, \"to tell me that, 'Look, Michael, in the case of the processed food industry, what you're looking at is a total inability on their part to collectively decide to do the right thing by consumers on the health profile of their products. In this case, I can see how you might need government regulation if [for] nothing else [than] to give the companies cover from the pressure of Wall Street.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>Interview Highlights\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the marketing campaign for Frosted Mini-Wheats that called the cereal \"brain food\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"What they came up with was some science that they had generated that they said showed that kids who ate Frosted Mini-Wheats for breakfast would be as much as or almost 20 percent more alert in the classroom, which the company translated into better grades for kids. ...

A regular diet of Mediterranean cuisine also reduced the risk of dying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The findings, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1200303\">published online\u003c/a> by \u003cem>The New England Journal of Medicine,\u003c/em> come from a study conducted right in the heart of Mediterranean country: Spain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of men and women, ages 55 to 80 at the start of the study, were randomly assigned to a low-fat diet or one of two variations of the Mediterranean diet: one featuring a lot of extra-virgin olive oil (more than a quarter cup a day) and the other including lots of nuts (more than an ounce a day of walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.nejm.org/action/showImage?doi=10.1056%2FNEJMoa1200303&iid=t01\">Mediterranean diet\u003c/a> is rich in fish, grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables. The diet is low in dairy products, red meat and processed foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this study, funded mainly by the Spanish government, the researchers made sure people got regular training sessions in the particulars of each diet. They also checked people's actual consumption of olive oil and nuts with lab tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing the researchers didn't do was set any limits on calories or targets for exercise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While lots of research has found benefits from the Mediterranean diet, many of the studies have observed what people have eaten and looked for associations. One of this study's strengths is that it randomly assigned people at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease to diets that stood to help then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study was stopped early (after a median follow-up of 4.8 years) because the benefits from the Mediterranean diet were already becoming apparent. Overall, the people consuming the diets rich in olive oil or nuts had about a 30 percent lower risk of having a heart attack, stroke or dying from a cardiovascular cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In absolute terms, there were about 8 of those problems for every 1,000 \u003ca href=\"http://www.medilexicon.com/medicaldictionary.php?t=67454\">person-years\u003c/a> in the Mediterranean diet groups compared with 11 per 1,000 person-years in the low-fat diet group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How does the Mediterranean diet work?

But from a diner's viewpoint, peering down at a sliver of white fish atop a bed of sushi rice, a lot of them look the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now a \u003ca href=\"http://oceana.org/en/news-media/publications/reports/oceana-study-reveals-seafood-fraud-nationwide\">report\u003c/a> from the ocean conservation group Oceana confirms that there's a pretty decent chance that fish on the plate or on ice in the seafood case is not what it's labeled to be. That means that seafood wallet cards designed by conservation groups to help steer consumers towards \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/series/171717418/the-meaning-of-sustainable-labeled-seafood\">sustainable\u003c/a> choices may not be doing much good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 2010 and 2012, Oceana took 1,215 seafood samples from 674 retail outlets in 21 states. When they tested the \u003ca href=\"http://barcoding.si.edu/dnabarcoding.htm\">DNA\u003c/a>, they found that 33 percent were mislabeled. Sushi vendors and grocery stores were the most likely outlets to sell mislabeled food, though Oceana says the fraud can happen before it reaches them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/12/11/166981454/seafood-sleuthing-reveals-pervasive-fish-fraud-in-new-york-city?ft=1&f=139941248\">investigations\u003c/a> by Oceana and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2012/12/01/dnasidebar/maoPlTvCRdnKmzKdmhHxpO/story.html?p1=News_links\">Boston Globe\u003c/a> revealed that seafood mislabeling is common in cities like New York and Boston, where people eat a lot of fish. But the report out Thursday shows it's happening across the country, and is as bad or worse in places like Texas and Colorado. Some 49 percent of the retail outlets sampled in Austin and Houston sold mislabeled seafood, while 36 percent in Colorado did so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what's the big deal with fish sold under a pseudonym? Well, for one, it's often just a form of swindling – a cheap fish like tilapia sold as red snapper. But Oceana says the practice also can put consumers at health risk when species like king mackerel, which is high in mercury, or escolar, which contains a naturally occurring toxin than can cause gastrointestinal problems, are marketed as grouper and white tuna, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oceana's also concerned that substituting cheaper, easier-to-find fish for rarer, more valuable ones gives consumers a distorted sense of the market. Of the fish types most heavily sampled by Oceana, those sold as snapper and tuna had the highest mislabeling rates — 87 and 59 percent. Only seven of the 120 samples of red snapper purchased nationwide were actually red snapper, the report found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The majority of fraud is various fish standing in for snapper – it's used as catch-all name for all kinds of white fleshed fish,\" says Oceana senior scientist \u003ca href=\"http://oceana.org/en/about-us/people-partners/oceana-staff/kimberly-warner\">Kimberly Warner\u003c/a>. \"But there are real conservation concerns when you slip in things in place of the real thing. People think snapper must be doing great because it's everywhere, but it's overfished.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumers using wallet cards from groups like the Monterey Bay Aquarium and NRDC could end up buying exactly the species they're trying to avoid, Warner says, because mislabeling is so prevalent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason mislabeling has gotten so rampant is that the U.S. now imports 90 percent of its seafood and less than 2 percent is inspected for fraud. That means would-be fraudsters have a lot new options for substitutions.The Food and Drug Administration regularly updates \u003ca href=\"http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/GuidanceDocuments/Seafood/ucm313510.htm\">its list\u003c/a> of seafood approved for sale – in 2012 alone, 19 new species were added to the list, including cornetfish, sampa and claresse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what's the government or a consumer to do about all this? Oceana would like to see an international traceability system where retailers would be required to tell consumers where and when a fish was caught and what gear was used. Requirements like these would help the industry — one of the least transparent in the food system — more accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Fisheries Institute argues that the problem is one of enforcement — the FDA needs to do a better job of enforcing laws that are already on the books to discourage fraud. And they encourage consumers to seek out retailers through the \u003ca href=\"http://www.aboutseafood.com/about/about-nfi/better-seafood-board\">Better Seafood Board\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2013 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Well, for one, it's often just a form of swindling – a cheap fish like tilapia sold as red snapper. But Oceana says the practice also can put consumers at health risk when species like king mackerel, which is high in mercury, or escolar, which contains a naturally occurring toxin than can cause gastrointestinal problems, are marketed as grouper and white tuna, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oceana's also concerned that substituting cheaper, easier-to-find fish for rarer, more valuable ones gives consumers a distorted sense of the market. Of the fish types most heavily sampled by Oceana, those sold as snapper and tuna had the highest mislabeling rates — 87 and 59 percent. Only seven of the 120 samples of red snapper purchased nationwide were actually red snapper, the report found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The majority of fraud is various fish standing in for snapper – it's used as catch-all name for all kinds of white fleshed fish,\" says Oceana senior scientist \u003ca href=\"http://oceana.org/en/about-us/people-partners/oceana-staff/kimberly-warner\">Kimberly Warner\u003c/a>. \"But there are real conservation concerns when you slip in things in place of the real thing. People think snapper must be doing great because it's everywhere, but it's overfished.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumers using wallet cards from groups like the Monterey Bay Aquarium and NRDC could end up buying exactly the species they're trying to avoid, Warner says, because mislabeling is so prevalent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason mislabeling has gotten so rampant is that the U.S. now imports 90 percent of its seafood and less than 2 percent is inspected for fraud. That means would-be fraudsters have a lot new options for substitutions.The Food and Drug Administration regularly updates \u003ca href=\"http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/GuidanceDocuments/Seafood/ucm313510.htm\">its list\u003c/a> of seafood approved for sale – in 2012 alone, 19 new species were added to the list, including cornetfish, sampa and claresse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what's the government or a consumer to do about all this? Oceana would like to see an international traceability system where retailers would be required to tell consumers where and when a fish was caught and what gear was used. Requirements like these would help the industry — one of the least transparent in the food system — more accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Fisheries Institute argues that the problem is one of enforcement — the FDA needs to do a better job of enforcing laws that are already on the books to discourage fraud. And they encourage consumers to seek out retailers through the \u003ca href=\"http://www.aboutseafood.com/about/about-nfi/better-seafood-board\">Better Seafood Board\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2013 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The upside? They pack more of a nutritional punch. The researchers found the organic tomatoes had significantly higher levels of vitamin C, sugar and lycopene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, while the extra sugar may improve the taste, it's the lycopene that could amp up organic tomatoes' health profile. Lycopene — a compound that gives tomatoes their red coloring — has been linked to a \u003ca href=\"%20%20%20http:/www.health.harvard.edu/blog/lycopene-rich-tomatoes-linked-to-lower-stroke-risk-201210105400\">decreased risk of stroke\u003c/a> in people who consume a lot of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what explains the increase in healthy compounds in the organic fruit?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, researchers say the organic system of agriculture tends to \"stress out\" the tomato plants. For instance, when tomato plants fend off pests without the use of heavy-duty pesticides, they produce more stress compounds — such as vitamin C and lycopene — to defend themselves. It's similar to the way we humans make antibodies to fight off a disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not the first study to find that organic methods lead to higher levels of potentially beneficial compounds. As we've \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90914182\">reported\u003c/a>, researchers at the University of California, Davis found that organic tomatoes had almost double the concentration of two flavonoids, quercetin and kaempferol, which have potent antioxidant activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone is convinced that studies like these prove that organic tomatoes are better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would be very shocked if the differences can actually be attributed\" to organic techniques alone, says \u003ca href=\"http://hos.ufl.edu/kleeweb/\">Harry Klee\u003c/a>, a tomato researcher at the University of Florida. The tomato variety being planted is also key, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The modern varieties [of tomatoes] are designed to produce very large numbers of fruits,\" explains Klee. And as a result, the nutrients get diluted, because the plant \"can't keep up with the huge load of fruit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another factor is how the plants are fertilized. Conventional farming tends to use a lot of quick-release, nitrogen fertilizer — which provides a burst of growth. By comparison, organic methods focus on enriching the soil, but the nutrients are released more slowly. This means the fruit grows slower, and the plant has more time to make compounds like flavonoids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Klee says it's possible to limit fertilizer within a conventional system and get the same results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If I take two plants on conventional farms and reduce the fertilizer levels on one, I'll get 40 percent smaller fruits with higher nutrient content,\" says Klee. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2013 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

The upside? They pack more of a nutritional punch. The researchers found the organic tomatoes had significantly higher levels of vitamin C, sugar and lycopene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, while the extra sugar may improve the taste, it's the lycopene that could amp up organic tomatoes' health profile. Lycopene — a compound that gives tomatoes their red coloring — has been linked to a \u003ca href=\"%20%20%20http:/www.health.harvard.edu/blog/lycopene-rich-tomatoes-linked-to-lower-stroke-risk-201210105400\">decreased risk of stroke\u003c/a> in people who consume a lot of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what explains the increase in healthy compounds in the organic fruit?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, researchers say the organic system of agriculture tends to \"stress out\" the tomato plants. For instance, when tomato plants fend off pests without the use of heavy-duty pesticides, they produce more stress compounds — such as vitamin C and lycopene — to defend themselves. It's similar to the way we humans make antibodies to fight off a disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As we've \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90914182\">reported\u003c/a>, researchers at the University of California, Davis found that organic tomatoes had almost double the concentration of two flavonoids, quercetin and kaempferol, which have potent antioxidant activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone is convinced that studies like these prove that organic tomatoes are better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would be very shocked if the differences can actually be attributed\" to organic techniques alone, says \u003ca href=\"http://hos.ufl.edu/kleeweb/\">Harry Klee\u003c/a>, a tomato researcher at the University of Florida. The tomato variety being planted is also key, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The modern varieties [of tomatoes] are designed to produce very large numbers of fruits,\" explains Klee. And as a result, the nutrients get diluted, because the plant \"can't keep up with the huge load of fruit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another factor is how the plants are fertilized. Conventional farming tends to use a lot of quick-release, nitrogen fertilizer — which provides a burst of growth. By comparison, organic methods focus on enriching the soil, but the nutrients are released more slowly. This means the fruit grows slower, and the plant has more time to make compounds like flavonoids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Klee says it's possible to limit fertilizer within a conventional system and get the same results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If I take two plants on conventional farms and reduce the fertilizer levels on one, I'll get 40 percent smaller fruits with higher nutrient content,\" says Klee. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2013 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It is a natural response to infection or injury characterized by redness, swelling, pain, and heat. These mechanisms are important because they shield the rest of the body from further harm. But when inflammation is triggered inappropriately it can cause needless damage, destroying healthy tissues. If it becomes chronic it can even promote \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23357128\">atherosclerosis\u003c/a> (hardening of the arteries), stimulate the growth of \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22632748\">cancer\u003c/a>, or lead to degenerative \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3546455/\">arthritis\u003c/a>. For prevention, a healthy diet is essential. Just as certain \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/01/28/5-essential-foods-that-reduce-inflammation-and-optimize-health/\">foods act as medicine, reducing inflammation\u003c/a> and combating disease, other foods promote inflammation and are best avoided. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a naturopathic doctor, I see many patients with chronic, low-grade inflammation. This may be hard to spot without blood tests because the symptoms can be mild, but the long term health implications are serious. Symptoms like headaches, hay fever, arthritis and sore muscles can all be caused by chronic inflammation. As part of their treatment I frequently advise patients to stay away from the following pro-inflammatory foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch1>Sugar\u003c/h1>\n\u003cp>Sugar provides instant energy for our cells. When we exercise, for example, sugar is used to fuel our heart and muscles. Unfortunately, many of us are leading sedentary lives, spending most of our day sitting behind a desk. If sugar is eaten and not burned off with exercise or other activities it can stay in the bloodstream and cause \u003ca href=\"http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=3836\">elevated blood sugar\u003c/a>. Excess sugar in the blood causes a host of problems including the production of AGEs, advanced glycation end-products. These AGEs are produced when sugar binds to various proteins “glycating” them. AGEs promote inflammation and have been implicated in \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23354008\">arthritis\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23341693\">diabetes\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21771973\">heart disease\u003c/a> and the premature \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3257625/\">aging\u003c/a>. Although refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup are major culprits in the standard American diet, natural sweeteners also elevate blood sugar. Excess consumption of fruit juice, honey, agave, even raisins can lead to glycation. Actually, all carbohydrates are converted into sugar before they can be absorbed into the blood. 1 cup of cooked pasta has approximately 40 grams of carbohydrates which will all be converted to simple sugar during digestion. A 12 oz. serving of sweetened cola also has about 40 grams of carbohydrates. So eating a large plate of pasta or a bag of oranges can raise your blood sugar as much as drinking a soda! The difference is that complex carbohydrates like pasta, potatoes and rice are absorbed more slowly than simple sugars because they need to be digested first. That means that blood sugar will not rise as quickly, but it can easily rise as high over time. This can be partly prevented by combining starchy foods with fats and proteins in the same meal. Fat and protein slows the digestion of carbohydrates causing them to enter the blood stream gradually. This extended absorption helps prevent blood sugar spikes. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch1>Gluten\u003c/h1>\n\u003cp>Gluten is one of the primary proteins found in wheat, rye, barley and triticale. It provides the elasticity in bread flour and increases the shelf life of baked goods. But in certain people it can trigger a serious autoimmune condition called \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/12/15/six-facts-everyone-should-know-about-celiac-disease/\">celiac disease\u003c/a>. Many other people suffer from gluten sensitivity, a milder reaction that can still cause significant suffering. New evidence shows that \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=22913724\">gluten can promote inflammation\u003c/a> even without an allergy or sensitivity and it has been linked to \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23253599\">weight gain\u003c/a> and obesity. Gluten can be hard to avoid. It is in all standard pasta, bread, crackers, tortillas and pastries, and it is frequently added to other foods in the form of food starch, a thickener. But with increased awareness of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are a lot more gluten-free products available. Most health conscious grocery stores now have a gluten-free section and there are multiple options for online ordering: \u003ca href=\"http://grindstonebakery.com/\">Grindstone Bakery\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.mariposabaking.com/\">Mariposa Baking\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch1>Hydrogenated oil\u003c/h1>\n\u003cp>These solid vegetable oils were developed to increase the shelf life of mass-produced foods. It was a brilliant idea that had an unfortunate side effect -- the production of trans fatty acids. Trans fatty acids are foreign to the human body since they are rarely ever produced in nature. When people consume these trans fats their \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22216328\">inflammatory\u003c/a> markers rise along with their risk for \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17268422\">heart disease\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22813572\">diabetes\u003c/a>. Trans fats are found in margarine, vegetable shortening and many processed foods. Because of this it is important to read your labels whenever you buy something that is pre-made. Trans fats will often be labeled as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch1>Commercially produced, grain-fed meat\u003c/h1>\n\u003cp>Meat, especially red meat, is very high in a type of fat called arachidonic acid (AA). Small amounts of AA are vital for health and it is an important nutrient for the developing brains in children. In adults, however, large quantities of AA form \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3036460\">inflammatory chemicals\u003c/a>. In fact AA has been associated with the development of various diseases including \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21920632\">Alzheimer’s disease\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3502782/\">arthritis\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22895552\">cancer\u003c/a>. Arachidonic acid is an omega-6 fatty acid. It must be formed from other omega-6 fats like those present in corn and soy, the major types of commercial animal feed. The good news for carnivores is that \u003ca href=\"http://www.eatwild.com/healthbenefits.htm#8\">grass-fed animals have a different fatty acid profile\u003c/a> than standard animals raised in feed-lots. Green grasses are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are transferred to the meat. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16500874\">Grass-fed beef\u003c/a> still contains AA but it also has high levels of \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22640930\">omega-3 fatty acids\u003c/a>. These omega-3s are very beneficial; they reduce inflammation, improve cholesterol and reduce anxiety and depression. For an optimal fatty acid profile it is important to choose meat that has been 100 percent grass-fed and never \u003ca href=\"http://www.nutritionj.com/content/9/1/10\">grain-finished\u003c/a>.
