First sentence: As other chapters in this book make clear, the broad outlines of good nutrition are welI known: eat more foods rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicaIs (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat animal products), and fewer foods rich in saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, refined sugars, and salt (meat, cheese, hydrogenated shortening, egg yolks, soft drinks, sweet baked goods, and salty processed foods).
