--------------------------------For nearly 30 years Dr. Dean Ornish has advocated a very low-fat diet that is low in animal products as the way to reverse chronic illness, particularly heart disease. Who would have thought that he is paid consultant for McDonald's? His responsibilities include meeting with top executives, giving talks to employees and writing words of wisdom about diet and breast cancer for the families who patronized McDonald's on Mother's Day. Dr. Ornish won't say how much McDonald's pays him, says the money is not why he's doing it and argues that detractors don't give food companies enough credit. "It's very easy to be a purist and demonize things, but as I get older I realize that life is shades of gray." Perhaps Dr. Ornish has eased his conscience with the discovery that a McDonald's meal is surprisingly high in soy and low in the saturated fat that he demonizes. That's because there's soy protein in the burger and bun plus plenty of partially hydrogenated soy oil in the fries. That plus all the sugar in the soft drinks is the probable reason that documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock got so fat, sick and tired after eating nothing but McDonald's fare for one month while filming SuperSize Me.
Turns out Dr. Ornish doesn't only work for McDonald's. He's also on the payroll of PepsiCo and ConAgra Foods.
Meanwhile, Kraft signed up Dr. Arthur Agatston, a cardiologist and author of the bestselling South Beach Diet, for a line of South Beach diet foods, which are already appearing on supermarket shelves. These include whole-wheat frozen pizza, several varieties of whole-grain cereal and frozen dinners. They bill themselves as healthy with minimal saturated fat. As with all low-carb packaged products, beware of the probability that soy substitutes might be taking the place of familiar carbs.
Extracted from Dr. Kaaylas newsletter "WHOLE SOY UPDATES #4" available here which contains more important info ie:
..."Lots of soy news to report, including a "worst new product" called "Soy Rocks," more bad news about the Amazon rainforest, a study showing that veganism is a growing trend on college campuses, another FDA delay on the soy/cancer health claim, even a new GM soybean that incorporates egg white to help prevent hair loss! If that weren't enough, I've just learned that Dr. Dean Ornish is being paid by McDonald's, Pepsi, ConAgra and Dr. Arthur Agatson is now creating South Beach diet products for Kraft! I've also got the latest soy celebrity news, a revealing testimonial about soy and type 2 diabetes, my answer to a reader's question about allergies and asthma and 2 book reviews."...
