Canadian doctors demand changes to Dietary Guidelines.
Story with details how this amazing letter came about and links to FB pages that have the 13 "Points of Change" and all signatures, background data. It is not on a website yet, has many pages and 200 signatures, but the FoodMed story has link to the FB where all is posted.

Go Canada!
"One person at a time" may finally be moving towards "one country at a time." |
The fifth signature is Dr Jay Wortman, the other 200 names are a good mix, encouragingly heavy with Family Medicine doctors. No surprise, Dr Yoni Freedhoff not on list, likes real food, fat not so much.

What a move! Love it.

I was wondering whether Dr. Wortman was involved, as he's clearly been practicing this way for a while now. Very encouraging and hopefully this will stimulate some movement in this direction in other countries, particularly Australia, South Africa, the UK (although there have been recent rumblings), and the United States. |
Best link to a clear .pdf of the letter, petition, and list of signatures.

Woohoo! :D
|
Definitely a step in the right direction! Let's hope that the US will follow suit :)
|
Most of the MDs from my area are obstetricians & family doctors. A good start!

The story continues on but getting close to new guidelines. 2600 physicians now. Opinion piece in The Vancouver Sun.
