Canadian Clinicians for Therapeutic Nutrition

"The foods our grandparents ate did not come from a factory, did not have food labels, and contained a mixture of natural fats...they ate healthy, traditional, unprocessed foods. We should do the same." @barbbradshawMD @KetoAnaesMD @DrAndrewSamis vancouversun.com/opinion/op-ed/…

Ultra-processed food....what is it and how can we recognize it? Watch this short video of what to look for in the grocery store! Hint: Shop periphery, items as close to nature as possible, or minimally processed with few ingredients! #betterfood #fewermeds #healthierCanadians

If boxed, processed cereal is already so unhealthy, imagine the glucose load from adding juice! Ugh no thanks! At least it’s a limited product and won’t be sold in stores (we hear)! Phew #betterfood #lesssugar #healthierCanadians #fewermeds

New paper from colleagues @MichaelMindrum & Christa Mindrum in rural NS looking at effect of low carb ketogenic diet on pts with T2DM...improved glycated hemoglobin and reductions in glucose-lowering medication. #betterfood #fewermeds sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Ultra processed 'food' is NOT real food. No meaningful nutrition, hyperpalatable, addictive, engineered that way. We have been "bamboozled by clever industry marketing tactics". Remember, NOT REAL FOOD. #betterfood #fewermeds #healthierCanadians medicalxpress.com/news/2021-12-t…

Watch @supriyajoshiMD in the full @cbcmarketplace segment here: cbc.ca/player/play/19…

"Double double", "iced capp". You may be shocked to see how much sugar you are drinking (HINT...it's dessert!). @ccfortn's @SupriyaJoshiMD says this is hurting our health. Don't drink your sugar. Know what's in your drink! #lessssugar #healthierCanadians cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

It's clear..ultra-processed 'foods' are killing us. But why? The answer might be in the effect these products have on our gut microbiome. Say no to ultra-processed foods for you and your family, whenever possible. #betterfood #fewermeds #healthierCanadians vox.com/science-and-he…

Parent be aware! Advertising ultra-processed food to kids doesn't just happen on TV anymore. Kids are watching YouTube, and they are being targeted with disguised processed food ads/promotions. #betterfood #healthierkids #lesssugar "news-medical.net/news/20211004/…

Ultra-processed food makes up half our daily calories in high income countries. Now rapid growth elsewhere = major concerns for global public health. How did they establish this, and how can we tackle Big Food? #betterfood #fewermeds #healthierCanadians theconversation.com/how-big-compan…

Wow, great move by Britain on banning ads for junk food on TV and internet during the day. Ultra-processed food one of the biggest contributors to metabolic disease. @GovCanHealth isn't it time for this here?#betterfood #fewermeds #healthierCanadians nypost.com/2021/06/24/uk-…

Great new initiative targeting wellness and health in health care workers!

Euro Guidelines for Obesity Mgmnt review on ketogenic diets - "effective dietary treatment". Great to see #lowcarb #therapeuticnutrition becoming a more widely recognized tool for helping pts with obesity. #betterfood #fewermeds #healthierCanadians karger.com/Article/FullTe…

Sugary drinks cause harm to our health. Attempts to introduce taxes have mostly failed due to pushback from beverage industry. DC council next to introduce a tax. Great job! @govcanhealth time for this here. #lesssugar #healthierCanadians #healthierkids thedcpost.com/washington-dc-…

How does #lowcarb TN work in real world? @lowcarbGP published 6 years of data - 46% drug-free #T2DM remission, better weight, blood pressure and lipid profiles. Patients deserve to be know and supported. #betterfood #fewermeds #healthierCanadians nutrition.bmj.com/content/bmjnph…

Do you know if you are metabolically healthy? This video talks about how poor our metabolic health is, and what to do about it. More medical providers learning to reverse ‘irreversible chronic diseases’. #betterfood #fewermeds #healthierCanadians thehealthedgepodcast.com/wp-content/upl…

Dr. @thehealthyhigh, obesity doc on #lowcarb: “The standard western diet is so high in carbohydrates, that when we minimize sugar, refined starches and processed food, it seems low carb. Let’s just call this normal eating”. We agree! Ditch processed food. #betterfood #fewermeds

Still relevant. Even more so. Defend your metabolic health. #betterfood #fewermeds

This JACC state of the art review highlighted by JACC editor in chief as one of the top 100 articles of 2020 and is what we tried to tell @GovCanHealth before the current dietary guidelines released. When we will stop focusing on #satfat and accept satfat in whole food = no harm?

2020 saturated fat science: Whole food SFA doesn’t contribute to CVD and diabetes risk. Advice matches our first point in Basics for Health #betterfoods #fewermeds

Here at the CCTN, we 100% agree with this and encourage everyone to ditch their sugary drinks. Remember sugar can hide in many drinks, so watch those flavored coffees, blended drinks and smoothies! #lesssugar #healthierCanadians #betterfood #fewermeds
