    Must be a vegetarian, eh? If we can just get politics into this conversation somehow, we'll have a doozy of a conversation going. :tongue:

    RE Nuts and seeds, etc. I don't know the movie, but I would be very careful to believe a movie, even a documentary. Ask your doctor instead.

    FWIW, my own doctor is very up on the latest research and she's told me to get flax seed, whole grains, brown rice and nuts into my diet. They are a good source of LDL fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Also, they have the right kind of fats, (walnuts have Omega-3 fatty acids) unlike processed fat sources like margarine or Pringles.

    As other posters have said, it's about moderation. There are no truly bad foods, just foods that should be eaten in smaller or larger proportions. Nuts are good for you in reasonable amounts.

    ...our bodies have a harder time digesating the whole grains.

    I thought that was the point. Processed grains that have been stripped of most of their dietary fiber are digested too quickly. Too much glucose is dumped into the blood in too short a time.

    I have read that Americans get only about half as much fiber as they need, on average, and that any increase should be done incrementally to avoid gastric distress.

    ok so now im confused i just watched the movie fat head....they said that eating nuts and seeds and things of that nature are bad for you and like breads and pasta even whole grain is bad too. so who do i believe them saying only eat fruits veggies and meats sence thats what we evolved from or throw in grains and nuts and all that?

    I saw that movie and don't remember them saying not to eat nuts & seeds (I could have just missed that). I thought the point of the movie was that what we have been led to believe about saturated fats is not true. That eating refined carbs is what is causing health problems and weight gain.

    There is a website for the move: http://www.fathead-movie.com/. Maybe your questions will be answered there.

    Also might be helpful to read the books by Gary Taubes?

    First of all we did not EVOLVE! We were created in the image of God. Second of all, nuts, seeds, whole grain breads and pasta are good for you...so eat them (in moderation) and you're body will thank you!

    Why would you even bring "god" into a conversation about NUTS ? Seriously, you're just looking for an excuse to preach. Please, keep it to yourself - we don't all share your beliefs!

    OP: I think everything in moderation is appropriate. There's a place for everything, and cutting out any food group would have negative effects!
