Keto Diet Last, DASH First In New Diet Rankings
By Sandee LaMotte, CNN
(CNN) — If you’re a fan of the “fat-burning” keto diet, you’ll be fired up about its ranking in the 2018 list of best diets from US News and World Report: It’s tied for last, along with the relatively unknown Dukan diet.

Unsaturated fats have one or more hydrogen atoms missing from the carbon backbone. They are liquid at room temperature.

Anti Alzheimer ’ s diet
Despite what the mainstream media is telling you, sugar is not your enemy.
Your body evolved to eat sweet foods. In fact, it’s how our ancestors knew a food growing in the wild was safe to eat and healthy.
But your body did not evolve to eat starchy, high carbohydrate sugars from bread, pasta, cereal and other grains. Ever since we were told to eat low fat, this has been the bulk of the our diet.
The result has been a modern epidemic of obesity and diabetes. At the same time, we face skyrocketing rates of dementia and Alzheimer’s.
