...triglyceride levels through the roof. Trans-fatty acids are not technically fats, which means, astonishingly, that a food labeled FAT FREE may be bursting with stuff that can give you heart disease. The fact that stick margarine is bad doesn't mean butter is suddenly good. Says Dr. Walter Willett, head of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health: "I think the healthiest solution is none of the above." The recommendation to stay away from meats and animal fats, thus, hasn't been overthrown. It's simply been extended slightly to encompass a substance once thought to be relatively...
...academic planning process focused on brainstorming ways to reorganize some doctoral and masters programs. Among the proposals is the institution of a new doctoral program that would collaborate with the Kennedy School of Government and Business School to train educational leadership, according to Eliot Professor of Education John B. Willett. McCartney has “gotten the faculty thinking about the future again,” Willett said. The academic restructuring is occurring in anticipation of the school’s move to Allston. Like the School of Public Health, the GSE is slated to begin relocating across the river...
...come by. If you’re worried about how food industry lobbyists have corrupted the government’s dietary guidelines, fret no more: Harvard has created its own food pyramid!

Snyder, Communications Coordinator of Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS...
...Calcium-rich foods include dark, leafy greens, broccoli, sesame seeds, canned sardines and salmon mashed up with the bones, cooked dried beans, soy foods and, of course, milk. But I agree with Harvard's Walter Willett and others that dairy products are not the preferred sources. In the Nurses' Health Study, Willett found that postmenopausal women who drank two glasses of milk a day were no better protected against bone fractures than women who drank a glass or less a week...
HUDS’ adjustments are not merely a trivial change of focus. In developing the Food Literacy Project, officials from HUDS consulted Chairman of the Department of Nutrition Walter C. Willett at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH). Willett emphasizes a heightened concern over saturated fat, instead of total fat, and amount of fiber intake. In keeping with these findings, the HUDS menu planners added whole grain pasta as a daily lunch item last spring. Additionally, the Food Literacy Project is currently modifying the six identifiers on menu cards in dining halls, replacing “percentage of calories...
