Eat food that looks like food

September 28, 2015 Magenta Health

The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada released a new policy statement on Saturated Fats.  Boiling the statement down (pardon the pun):

  1. Eat fresh food.
  2. Make your own food.
  3. Eat things that look like food.  
  4. Eat fewer “highly processed foods”… like “confectionaries, sugary drinks, processed meats, and snack foods.”  

We think that’s nice simple digestible (pardon again) advice. 

Interestingly, one question is what’s going to happen to the Foundation’s Health Check program as a lot of the Health Check approved foods look highly processed.  

Read the position statement here.  Check out the news coverage here.

Welcome to Magenta Health, located in Tkaronto (Toronto), on the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Anishinabek Nation, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and other Indigenous peoples who have nurtured the health and wellness of this land for generations. As we provide care in this region, we acknowledge the enduring presence and knowledge of Indigenous communities and commit to promoting health equity by actively reflecting on a more truthful and inclusive history of what is now known as Canada. This includes the past and present systemic racism faced by our Indigenous colleagues, patients and community members.
