Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:06:47 GMT

However, in reality, many said these health messages are more marketing hype than straightforward nutrition guidance.Dr. Elizabeth Klodas, a cardiologist, said despite all these healthy claims she treats more and more people with high blood pressure and high cholesterol in people trying to lose weight.“My patients were trying, they were going to the grocery store, they were doing the best that they could do.
