This morning one of my dear clients eagerly shared some insights he’d gleamed from a chat with a nutritionalist friend of his the previous evening. I counselled myself to maintain an open mind as he began to recall regularly repeated recommendations such as “sugar is the devil” and “fat is your friend.”  Nothing new here however then he proceeded to sing the praises of….
