The book makes pleasant Carrots? Written by dieticians and nutritionists Adine Anne-Marie and Jean-Paul Blanc, reviewed 313 ideas on nutrition. We learn in particular that there is no nutritional difference between fresh green beans after cooking and canned beans. The book presents diverse ready-made ideas that contradict the authors most often, by providing explanations.

“Eating fruit protects against cancer of the colon”: yes, say the authors of the book, explaining that the beneficial effect is related to the acceleration of intestinal transit. “Treatments of fruits are slim” No, they can lose weight, but it comes at the expense of muscle mass.

“We have selected these ideas based on questions that patients were asking for consultation, which were often the same,” said Anne-Marie Adine, one of the authors.

Among the ideas it considers the most meaningful, Anne-Marie Adine refers primarily those famous green beans, whose nutritional value is the same as canned green beans. “If the beans spend some time on the shelves, they lose their vitamin C. The canned beans were therefore a vitamin C added,” she says.

Other ideas talking, the author points in particular that the crackers are less caloric than bread or the black pudding is the best source of iron.

Other ready-made rather unexpected, “sugar causes obesity,” the idea that authors respond “yes and no.” “Not a bit of sugar will make you fat. By eating too much fat, by cons, can lead to weight gain,” said Anne-Marie Adine.

We also learn that dark chocolate is less calorie milk chocolate, because it is fatter. “The dark chocolate 72%, cons, less calories,” says Anne-Marie Adine.

Moreover, cooking cream is less calorie cooking butter: Butter contains 82% fat, against 35% fat for cream. The buttercream lightened also reduces calorie intake. ”

“But cook the meat with butter has little interest in this case, better use of olive oil”, says the author.
