These guidelines are still considered classic over three decades after their publication. Do all of the recommendations remain true today? Host Dr. Lee Freedman outlines the guidelines with guest Dr. Artemis Simopoulos, founder and president of the non-profit Center for Genetics, Nutrition and Health. Which recommendations have been adhered to, and which ones need more attention?
