  1. I was reading a .uk newspaper last week, which had an article about a
    new kind of bread someone developed that lacked a crust. It included
    a statement from a nutritionist that the crust contained the good part
    of bread, the carbohydrates; while the interior contained the bad
    part, the fats.

    Wow!!! Now that has to be one of the dumbest things that I have ever
    heard. Unless of course it was a quote about pizza taken out of context.
    But I have trouble believing that a newspaper would quote someone out of
    context.

    That's going to be hard to top, but I've got one.

    My husband had a calcium-based kidney stone 15 years ago. This month he
    got severely dehydrated and wound up with a bunch of kidney stones that
    same week. They turn out to be oxalate-based.

    The urologist gave him a list of diet restrictions which include
    avoiding all dark green leafy vegetables, blueberries and most other
    berries, and nuts as well as tofu and to "eat a low protein" diet. He's
    allowed to eat corn flakes but not whole corn, have refined flour but
    not wheat germ, drink Pepsi but not beer or most juices, have alfredo
    sauce but not tomato-based sauces. It's bizarre, it's as if the entire
    concept of eating nutritiously for weight control, metabolic health,
    cancer-avoidance, etc is all thrown out the window in the face of a few
    oxalate-based kidney stones.

    In my opinion, the guy needs to occasionally drink water when he's
    exercising for hours at a time in 100 degree heat. Then none of this
    would happen. Eating a crappy diet for the rest of his life doesn't
    really seem like a good plan.

    Another stupid brainfart. Yeah sure, the carbs MYSTERIOUSLY migrate to
    the top of the bread while it cooks.
