    A nutritionist is not a certified dietician. There is no scientist who would say that a food should be prohibited because of age. Well, maybe jello shots or Red Bull aren't often served in nursing homes.

    There is NO food that anyone can tell me I can't eat after a certain age. That's ridiculous. I'm 51. I'm going to eat whatevathehell I want to until I CAN'T eat my food my way anymore. An age cut-off is arbitrary. It certainly doesn't go from being ok one day, and bad for you literally 24 hours later. Ridiculous.

    Well, I've never had Red Bull, but I hope to end up in a nursing home that serves nice cocktails. I'll amend my statement. At a certain age, you should give up Kool-aid and grain alcohol.

    Don't bother with that BS.
    It's a poor commercial of the worst kind.

    Of those five, I only stay away from soy milk because I don't like it. Other than that, bring it on!

    I officially never want to grow up. :(

    No one should eat margarine. It's one molecule away from becoming plastic. I don't know about you but I will not willingly ingest plastic. Nothing natural about it. Google it for yourself .

    Sorry you guys, I honestly posted it before I realized how long it was and that she was promoting her program. Lesson learned.

    While you may believed that it was something good, the realization that it was a promotional program meant to demonize certain foods was well worth learning. It will also help those who just lurk on the forums that just because a "certified" nutritionist says it's "bad", it doesn't mean it's so.

    I don't think that any of these 5 are that good for you whatever your age

    1. This isn't true.
    2. Even if it were true, it would be completely meaningless. Many substances have similar molecular structure but very different properties.

    Well then, since I am 62 I guess I shouldn't eat:

    Orange juice: I don't like the calorie hit but I cold glass of frshly squeezed is nice once in a while. And what will I us to make mimosas?
    whole wheat bread: Because my daughter has a glutem problem we don't have this in the house,so I guess that I'm good there.
    Soy milk: makes me gag.
    Margarine: since back in the day when you squeezed the bag of oleo to mix in the colour (a Canadian thing) I have never been able to stomach this crap.
    Artificial Sweeteners: Touch my daily Diet Pepsi and YOU DIE!!!

    And water is one molecule away from being hydrogen peroxide. That argument is ridiculous.

    Huh. I've never eaten any of those 5 foods, and over the past 4 years or so I've gained 35 lbs... of fat. Pure fat. From not eating anything unhealthy, and eating "real" food per this nutritionist. Strange, isn't it?

    Just beware in the future! Never trust anyone who calls themselves a nutritionist. Certified dietitian or bust. ;)

    Don't you know that 100% of people that drink water die?

    I'm going to take that to mean I should just drink wine exclusively.

    She listed them at the beginning. That was as far as I got.

    I do agree with staying away from trans fat, but what you said is frankly incorrect. Margarine is NOT a molecule. Margarine contains hydrolyzed fats. It's made from hydrogenation of vegetable oil. Vegetable oil have a a double bond, This double bond creates a 120 degree bend where the double bond is.. This bend makes it so when the molecules are stacked together they form a liquid, hence vegetable oils are liquid at room temperature. Saturated fats such as butter don't have this bend, they are more linear, the atoms are in 109.5 degree's in relatoin to each other. so they stack in more compact making them solid at room temperature.

    Margarine is made by a processed where you get a vegetable oil and you get rid of this double bond. Making it more linear. This process is called hydrogenation. It stacks like butter. A byproduct of hydrogenation is converting the bend in vegetable oil(cis isomer) to a trans isomer. This results in trans fat in the margarine.

    Notice the trans isomer on the right. That's a trans fat. Now compare that to Polypropylene(a certain type of plastic).

    not even close to a trans fat. The first picture was a 2d representation of a trans fat. you might have difficulty comparing the 2. So here is the 3d structure of the trans fat.

    Thanks for the chemistry lesson. Good info.
