The Holford Low GL Diet trial: how was it conducted, and what were the results?
A blog comment recently suggested that we’re not giving enough attention to the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, and as it happens I have recently been reading Holford et al’s article in the journal on low glycemic load diets. So, I … Continue reading

Former Visiting Professor Patrick Holford recently announced that labels aren’t important.
