THB: The Low-Fat Lie

MM Journal

Saturday - November 28, 2009

Think you're being good when you buy low-fat products? Do you marvel that such healthy items taste so good?

There's a reason for that, says THB's Managing Editor, Jon Herring. "The fat has been replaced with sugar and refined carbohydrates. And those are more dangerous to your health."

The mania for low-fat foods has led to a host of health problems, some inconvenient and some downright deadly. These problems are becoming more common as more people jump on the low-fat bandwagon, he says. "And to make matters worse, the federal government and much of the medical establishment is advocating low-fat foods!"

Among the problems:

  • An explosion of obesity
  • An increase in adult-onset diabetes
  • Increased hypertension
  • More heart disease

"Fats are a healthy and integral part of the diet," Jon says. But you need to know what kinds of fats to eat and in what quantities."

Check out Jon's latest THB Undercover for all the details.


The great thing about writing to-do lists is that it can be motivating. You are reminded of all the great projects you are working on. You are eager to start.

Except when it takes too long. If it takes a half-hour or more to compose a to-do list first thing in the morning, it's fatiguing. When you are tired, you don't want to attack the bigger projects. And the bigger projects are usually the ones that will make the greatest improvement in your life.

My solution is to create each daily task list at the end of the previous working day. Then, before I go to sleep, I use a trick Matt Furey taught me. I picture myself starting work by doing the most important task of the day. I imagine myself working energetically. And I try to imagine how good it will feel when I'm done.

It works. When I wake, I am usually full of energy and motivated to get going on that important task.

I do my weekly and monthly tasks lists early too. I do my weekly list on Sunday afternoon and my monthly list the day before the month begins.

FYI: It takes me about 15 minutes to create a daily task list, 30 minutes to create a weekly list, and an hour to create a monthly list.


20 million Americans suffer from osteoarthritis, often caused when the cartilage that cushions joints wears down over time. For years, European doctors have prescribed glucosamine for osteoarthritis, and it is one of the more popular supplements in America. But does it work?

A new long-term study published in the Lancet found that those with mild-to-moderate knee arthritis who were taking 1,500 mg of purified glucosamine had less pain than those in a placebo group. X-rays also showed that the arthritis progressed slowly, if at all, in those taking glucosamine, while those in the placebo group continued to lose cartilage.

Although this study is not conclusive, it supports what other studies have shown: Glucosamine can be effective for relieving the pain and progression of osteoarthritis. And, unlike prescription and over-the-counter pain medications, these benefits come without adverse side effects.


Henry Ford once said: "You can't build a reputation on what you're going to do." Well, some people keep trying.

You've seen it. The ne'er-do-well who keeps telling you about his big plans. The office screw-up who keeps apologizing for his mistakes and committing to do better in the future.

You probably don't do that kind of thing. But if things fall apart, you may be tempted to climb out of the hole by making promises.

Resist the temptation. Your good reputation has already been established. It was built on what you did, not what you said. So continue to do more and talk less.


You may have heard about the risks associated with impotence drugs. The FDA has received dozens of reports about men who suddenly and permanently lost their vision after taking them. The percentage of users affected is very small -- but blindness isn't exactly a "minor" side effect.

And there's more to worry about. Impotence is often a sign of poor circulation. And in many cases, that's an early warning for heart disease. Those who rush to remedy their impotence problem with a pharmaceutical solution could be ignoring an impending health threat.

A better solution: exercise. Studies have shown that men who burn at least 200 calories a day through exercise are less likely to become impotent. After all, exercise improves circulation, increases testosterone, and optimizes weight... all of which improve sexual performance.


With Christmas right around the corner, it would be nice to think that our economy will bounce back next year. Yes, it would be nice.

And indeed, some pundits are hopeful. The retail numbers for October were better than projected. Saks was in the black. Nordstrom's increased sales by 6.5 percent. Neiman Marcus's sales were down 6 percent, but that was a huge improvement over the 16-25 percent drops they had been experiencing.

Why the pickup? Here's Andy Gordon's take:

"People are already getting into the holiday spirit.

"This is, after all, the one time of the year when we have a built-in excuse to buy. Sales have been suppressed for about a year. There's lots of pent-up demand out there.

"But my wife's two favorite stores -- Target and Costco -- saw sales go down. When Saks does better than those two, I get nervous. Where did all the frugalistas go?"

Andy notes that the less-than-affluent haven't been rushing to buy. Will Christmas lure them back? The holiday spirit, combined with lots of deep discounts, will certainly help.

But I'm not optimistic. As I've mentioned before, every small businessperson I know is still cutting costs, firing employees, and singing the blues. College graduates are not finding work. Strip malls are closing and boutiques in malls are disappearing fast.

The financial press continues to tout the end of the recession, but I don't.


Your heart rate after vigorous exercise is an indicator of your cardiovascular fitness. How quickly it slows down is an important measurement.

In his book, The Doctor's Heart Cure, Dr. Al Sears says the way to take this measurement is to exercise vigorously for five minutes and then take your pulse. Wait two minutes. Then take your pulse again.

If you have an average level of fitness, it will drop by 55 beats. Well-conditioned people will see a higher drop, perhaps 70 beats. Generally, the faster your heart rate recovers, the better your fitness and the lower your risk of heart disease.


In the Nov. 20 issue of THB, Managing Editor Jon Herring explained why you should eat like a "caveman" and take nutritional supplements. It provoked quite a response from our readers. Here's what one, Constance, had to say:

"I agree that our modern diet is not healthy with so much processed food available. I agree that a back-to-basics, fresh food diet would serve all of us better. However, I take issue with the discussion that our Paleolithic ancestors were so much healthier and did not have degenerative diseases. THEIR lifespan was only about 30-35 years!! Most of us live to be 80-100. If they had lived that long they would have shown more signs of aging and degeneration too!! In the interest of trying to push people to a healthier lifestyle, don't overstate the issues."
