Fat in milk does not count. That’s great news for dairy lovers!   Unfortunately, it’s simply not true and the science just doesn’t add up. Yet, that is the premise of new legislation that would return whole-fat milk with 5 grams of saturated fat per serving, representing a quarter of an entire day’s limit, to school lunches across the United States.   While the fat from the pizza, hamburgers, french fries, and other food on cafeteria trays is totaled up, the largest source of saturated fat is being totally disregarded. Why is that?   Double-board-certified pediatrician Dr. Yami and Andrew Binovi, director of government affairs for the Physicians Committee, join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss the bill and why fat in milk is being ignored.    The nutrition numbers don’t add up, but the rates of childhood diseases are mounting. — — SHOW LINKS — — Take Action https://www.pcrm.org/HealthyStudents — — — Dr. Yami Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedoctoryami Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedoctoryami Website: https://www.doctoryami.com/ — — EVENTS — — International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine Where: Washington, DC — Grand Hyatt Date: August 15-17 Who: Drs.

One mistake would change Alana Moor's life forever. She was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison in a foreign country that was thousands of miles from her home and everyone she knew and loved.   Although isolated and stripped of her freedom, it was there that Alana began to find a healthier path forward.   The food in the Panamanian prison system would routinely cause her to fall ill. On a few occasions it even required a trip to the hospital.   Alana's journey to healing began with her pushing for healthier food options and leading daily exercise classes for other inmates. Through that she found self-empowerment and a sense of worth that had been lacking.   And today she is working with one of the largest plant-based event companies in Canada while continuing to champion healthier options for those who remain incarcerated.   She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll for an incredible story of rebuilding strength from the ashes of despair. 🔗 SHOW LINKS 🔗 Alan Moor TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@speakupmoor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alanamoorspeaks Website: http://www.alanamoor.com COVID-19 Diet Study https://bit.ly/COVIDVegDietBMJ 🎟️ EVENTS 🎟️ International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine Where: Washington, DC — Grand Hyatt Date: August 15-17 Who: Drs.
