A N T ID E P R E S S A N T S DOUBLE AUTISM RISKAlthough the causes of autism are not fully understood, a review of more than

145,00 0 pregnancies, at the University of Montreal in Canada, has found that anti-

depressants can play a major role. Our study has established that taking antide-pressants during the second or third trimester of pregnancy almost doubles the risk

that the child will be diagnosed with autism by age 7, especially if the mother takes

selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, often known by the acronym SSRIs, says

Anick Brard, PhD, co-author of the study, which was published in J M Ped iatrics.

SMARTER FATS

Q :ir st t h ey sa y b u t t er a nd eg g s a r e b a d , no w I h ea r t h ey r eg o o d . W h a t s t h e t r u t h ? Jaim eP.,Syracuse,NY

A:N utrition and dietary

advice are constantly

evolving,leaving consum ers

annoyed and confused.But

w ith allthe controversies

and debates about everything

from raw food to Paleo,theres

been one diet plan that just

about everyone has endorsedover the past 40 years: e

M editerranean Diet.

ere are a couple of

problem s,though,starting

w ith the fact that the so-called

M editerranean diet is a

catch-allterm that has never

been very w ell-de ned and

quanti ed. e M editerranean

pattern of eating tends to feature

a lot of legum es,vegetables,

sh,olive oil,and fruit,and isbelieved to be low in saturated

fat and anim alproducts but

w ho really know s w hat speci c

elem ents of the diet are res-

ponsible for the health bene ts?

W hats m ore,the health

bene ts m ay not be nearly as

huge and globalas w eve been

led to believe.A num ber of

studies have show n that the

M editerranean D iet beats the

heck out of the low -fat diet orthe typicalA m erican diet,but

honestly,thats setting the bar

pretty darn low just about

any diet w illbeat the Am erican

diet or the typicallow -fat diet.

SORTING FATFROM FICTIONW hich brings m e to m y

new est book,S mart F at.

Recently,a reporter asked

m e to describe in a few w ords

the prem ise of the book,

co-authored w ith Steven

M asley,M D ,LLC,the fulltitle

of w hich is S mart F at: Eat

M ore F at, Lose M ore Weight ,

Get H ealthy N ow Ithought

for a m om ent,and then

found m yself answ ering w ith

a phrase Ihadnt ever usedbefore,but w hich In ow think

sum s up the Sm art Fat

program very effectively:

M editerranean D iet 3.0.

e Sm art Fat program

builds on a lot of th e staples

of the M editerranean D iet

legum es,beans,vegetables,

sh,fruit but updates it

w ith the latest science on fat,

grains,and inflam m ation.

W e now know from threem ajor peer-review ed m eta-

analyses published in the last

ve years in prestigious journals

like the nnals of nternal e icine

and the A merican Journal of

C linical utrition that saturated

fat does not cause heart disease,

and that theres no reason

to avoid fat just because its

saturated (m ore on that in a

m om ent).W e also know that

inflam m ation is one of them ajor prom oters of every

m ade up of om ega-6 fats.W enow know that the balance

betw een om ega-3 and om ega-6

fats is criticalfor h um an

health. e idealratio betw een

the tw o is around 1:1,but

research sh ow s that our reli-

ance on vegetable oils for just

about everything has w ound

up producing a typicalintake

of 16:1 in favor of the pro-

inflam m atory om ega-6s.W hen

the ratio skew s heavily tow ardom ega-6 fats,as it does in the

typicalAm erican diet,it fans

the res of inflam m ation.

Finally,the Sm art Fat program

accepts the n otion of good

fat and bad fat, but de nes

those term s differently from

the w ay they are conventionally

de ned.Traditionally,w eve

com e to think of bad fats

as saturated fats,especially

saturated fats from anim als,

T h e b a la c e b et ween t h eint a k e o f o m eg a -3 a ndo m eg a - 6 f a t s is c r it ic a l

degenerative disease (from heartdisease to obesity to cancer)

and that over-consum ing tw o

w idely prom oted elem ents of

the M editerranean D iet

grains and vegetable oils is

like throw ing kerosene on the

res of inflam m ation.

GOING AGAINSTTHE GRAINSSo the Sm art Fat program is

not heavy on grains.It doesntprohibit them ,but it de nitely

cautions against overcon-

sum ption.Grains are generally

high-glycem ic,contributing to

horm onalim balance and insulin

resistance,and in the case

of the large num ber of people

w ho are gluten-sensitive or

intolerant m uch w orse.

e Sm art Fat program is

also not heavy on vegetable

oils,w hich is predom inantly

STIFF JOINTSAnyone with pain in the knees, hips, or back is well aware of

a problem. But even m ore subtle stiffn ess or achinessjust

enough to discourage a weekend h ike or tennis gamecan lead

to a dwindling spiral of deteriorating health.

W H T T O D O

If youre generally active, keep up your good habits. Otherwise,

find a starting point. If walking is uncomfortable or painful, try

water exerc ise or a stationary bi ke. Movement impr oves the flow

of blood and nutrients, lubricates joints, and makes them more

flexible. Resistance exercise that strengthens m uscles reduces

pressure on join tsstronger thigh muscles will make it easier

on kn ees, as an example. Yoga or Pi lates im proves flexibili ty. And

losing even a little weight can do wonders by reducing stress on

join ts.

Supplements can also help. Curcumin or boswellia reduceinflammation. Glucosamine, a component of cartilage, helps to

cushion joints. And MSM, especially when taken with glucos-

amine, relieves inflammation and pain .

UNWANTEDCURVES ere are certain places where

fat tends to deposit as we getolder, especially around the

middle. Muffi n tops can be

another undesirable develop-

ment, and overall weight gain

is not uncommon. Being less

active is one reason but theres

another natural mechanism at

play: muscle loss, up to 5 percent

per decade after age 30.

Less muscle means you burn

fewer calories, lose strength,

and get larger i n the wrongplaces, even i f your weight

stays the same (because fat

weighs less than muscle). e

only way to stop and r everse

the process is with exercise

that builds muscle: weight or

resistance trainin g.

H ormonal changes also

play a role. e human body

becomes less able to process

sugars and starches, which

leads to higher levels of bloodsugar and higher levels of

insulin , which promotes fat

storage and chronic inflam-

mation, and can lead to type 2

diabetes. is can also trigger

imbalances in sex hormones

among both women and

menand those contr ibute to

more unwanted curves.

Sometimes, the combination

of these changes is consid-

ered to be a slow metabolism.

eres some truth in that, but

it isnt inevitable and can be

reversed.

W H T T O D O

In addition to doing weight or

resistance training, eat more

lean protein, fatty fish such

as salmon, and non-starchy

vegetables, but fewer sugars

and starches. Cruciferous

vegetables, such as broccoli, are

especially good for balancing

hormones. Eat organic as

much as possible, as toxinsare infl ammatory and disr upt

hormones.

Switching to this type of

diet can help you lose weight.

Taking chromium, which

helps to keep blood sugar at

healthy levels, can make a diet

more effective, according to

H arry Preuss, MD, pr ofessor

at Georgetown University and

author of e Natural Fat-Loss

Pharmacy. Chromium ishelpful because it switches

your m etabolism, so that the

weight you lose is fat, not

muscle, he says.

Other good supplements

include fish oil, to reduce in-

flammation, and in dole-3-car-

binol (I3C), which is found in

cruciferous vegetables, to help

keep both womens and mens

hormones balanced.
