Dear John,
The U.S. Wellness expresses best Easter
wishes from our families to yours.
Hopefully, Mother Nature follows Saturday's
glorious Spring weather with a repeat today.
Pastures have finally demonstrated signs of
converting solar power to green blades of
grass with more vigor the past two days driven by
warm temps and abundant sunshine
Cereal
Killer by author Allan Watson was the
book of the week at our household this week.
My wife, Nan, picked it up and could not put
it down. Seven hours later it was read cover
to cover. We think this is a must read
by anyone raising a family that fights major
food corporation temptations on every trip to
the grocery store. Temptation comes in
various colors and styles of cardboard
packaging and is packed full nutrition that
has played a role in the diabetes and obesity
epidemic in the U.S. for the last 40 years.
Getting back to high fat and high protein
diets is rolling the clock back to the dawn of
the 20th century. I find photographs of
my paternal ancestors taken in the late 1800's
and early 1900's most fascinating. You never
see an obese family member. They all appear
to be in good health for the rigors of their
environment, while raising very large families.
According to writings of my Grandfather Wood,
they ate copious amounts of lard
and meat
proteins.
These were the cornerstones of the early 1900's
food pyramid. Heart disease caught little
attention until the late 1920's. Diabetes
was even more rare in 1900.
Author Alan Watson has done an excellent job
of making the case for more lard and protein
in the human diet to fix a score of ills we
have brought on ourselves by swearing off fat
and protein. You can purchase Cereal Killer HERE.

QUESTIONS TO: eathealthy@grasslandbeef.com
Dear Dr. Serrano,
In reference to your column today, which
vegetables must you cook?
Thank you,
C.A.
Oneonta, NY
Dear C.A.:
I thought I knew the answer to this question
based on research but, like I have said
before, every day I learn something new from
my patients. When I tell a patient how good
it is to cook a vegetable and this patient
comes back and tells me how sick they were
after they cooked the vegetable but the raw
doesn't do a thing to their stomach, then I
am wrong. There are certain vegetables that
when cooked the nutrients are easier to
absorb but again some of the other benefits,
like the fiber or a vitamin might be changed,
so the real answer to your question is it
depends, and the perfect answer is to eat
them both ways, enjoy them raw sometimes and
other times add butter after boiling or frying.
Best regards,
Dr. Serrano
