For many people, next week marks the time to bring on the Christmas cookies and treats. That’s followed by the beginning of a new year, when many people try to change their eating habits in hopes of a slimmer waistline and better health in general. Not all diets are created equal though. U.S. News & World Report in the past has put together a panel of experts to review some popular diets and give their recommendations. Katherine Beals, an associate professor with University of Utah Health Care’s Division of Nutrition, has served on that panel in the past and is available to talk about why the problem with “diets” may be in the concept itself. To schedule an interview, contact Libby Mitchell in the University of Utah Health Sciences Office of Public Affairs.
