McDougall round-up
Here’s your latest McDougall news:
McDougall was quoted in the Wall Street Journal, as Clinton aides “vehemently denied” Bill’s uncharacteristic remarks on the campaign trail were related to brain damage from his heart bypass surgery. In the column, McDougall was quoted as saying: “I have hundreds of patients whose families will say, ‘Dad’s not the same as he was before surgery.”
McDougall also talks about why 2008 is the UN’s International Year of the Potato. McDougall calls the potato “humankind’s best hope for, resolving the current worldwide epidemic of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, and eventually, thriving in the near future.”
McDougall reviews his five favorite articles from recent medical journals:
- Should You Drink 8 Glasses of Water Daily?
- Animal Fat May Accelerate Prostate Cancer
- Monitor Blood Pressure at Home Says the AHA
- Eat Yourself Impotent
- Vitamin Supplements May Increase Breast Cancer
The May McDougall newsletter also offers up some new potato-themed recipes such as Green Goddess Potato Salad, Mexican Potato Stew, and Potato Enchiladas.
Also, if you’re in northern California, their celebrity chef cooking weekend runs in Santa Rosa from June 27 to 29. It is not to be missed, with guest chefs such as Millennium’s Eric Tucker, Fat-Free Vegan Blog’s Susan Voisin, and Joy of Vegan Baking author Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, among others. Go if you can, it is not to be missed (although for some reason, I do)!
