If you aren't sure what to think about all the bashing the "standard American diet" comes in for lately, can I suggest you watch these five video clips of a lecture delivered by Dr. Steven Nissen, Department Chair of Cardiovascular Medicine at Cleveland Clinic. That position at that institution means Dr. Nissen is among the very top cardiologists in the world today, and in my humble opinion his lecture is worth every minute of your time.
