I was happy to have an opportunity to plug Julieanna’s new book. Learn more about her work at http://plantbaseddietitian.com/

I touch more on whole grains in How Many Meet the Simple Seven? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-many-meet-the-simple-seven/) and Whole Grains May Work As Well As Drugs (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/whole-grains-may-work-as-well-as-drugs/).

More on breast cancer and alcohol in Breast Cancer and Alcohol: How Much Is Safe? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-and-alcohol-what-much-is-safe/) and Breast Cancer Risk: Red Wine v. White Wine (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-risk-red-wine-vs-white-wine/).

I’ve touched on olive oil in the other videos in this Mediterranean diet series, but also have an older video Extra Virgin Olive Oil vs. Nuts (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/extra-virgin-olive-oil-vs-nuts/).

More on sodium in Dietary Guidelines: With a Grain of Big Salt (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-guidelines-with-a-grain-of-big-salt/) and Can Diet Protect Against Kidney Cancer? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/can-diet-protect-against-kidney-cancer/) But what if without salt everything tastes like cardboard? Not to worry! See Changing Our Taste Buds (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/changing-our-taste-buds/).
