Nutrition for Wellness Foundation

[Calistoga Bill]

The Nutrition for Wellness Foundation, whose Chair of Nutritional Excellence is Dr. Joel Fuhrman, is well worth checking out: http://www.nutritionforwellness.org./who.html
It is promoting the Eat to Live Diet and is linked to Campbell, Esselstyn, Fuhrman, McDougall, Ornish, & Robbins.

In an article promoting the foundation, http://www.hamptons.com/detail.ihtml?id ... 0&townflag, the author makes a statement I find hard to believe: "The truth is that natural foods have the perfect ratio of protein, carbohydrates, and fats, a “god-given” 40/30/30."
Is Eat to Live a 40/30/30 diet?

Hi Bill

I do not know anything about the organization or their principles guidelines. It looks like a local organization trying to promote health and using some of the principles of people like Dr Furhman, Dr McDougall, Dr Campbell, Dr Barnard, etc.

Eat to Live is not a 40/30/30 diet.

Natural foods do not have a ratio of 40/30/30 either nor does a diet based on natural foods automatically result in a ratio of 40/30/30.

They must be promoting it with Dr. Fuhrman's concurrence, because he's prominently listed in the Who We Are section with his picture and biography.
Also they are using his food pyramid: http://www.nutritionforwellness.org./guidelines.html

I guess only he could answer that/those questions.
