First, you may have heard that canola oil contains high levels of the toxic compound erucic acid. Not true. “The rapeseed plant that canola oil was originally derived from does contain high levels of erucic acid, but it’s been bred out of the canola plant we get our oil from today, so levels are very low and not harmful-the FDA regulates how much is allowed (no more than 2 percent),” says Libby Mills, R....

High-profile devotees, such as actors Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson and Chicago chef Charlie Trotter, shun animal products and heat-processed grains; they eat nuts, seeds, sprouted grains, fruits and vegetables—ones that haven’t been heated past 118°F....

We don’t have many diet “rules” here at EatingWell—and we like it that way. We’re firm believers that when everything is allowed on the table, and with a little education about the healing powers of whole foods, it’s easier to settle into a lifestyle that’s more mindful, less restrictive and still well-balanced. (Lookin’ at you, 80/20!) It’s safe to say we’re not about that detox life or a constant stream of cleanses, and for the most part, we prefer to think of what we eat as just that … not a specific “diet” per se....
