  • 139. Conclusions Common foods may cause common health problems Food choice may be more important than counting fat, carbohydrate or calories Nearly all Westerners get atherosclerosis and we don’t know why Conventional dietary advice is somewhat unfounded Is endocrinology more important than nutritionism? Many possibe endocrine disruptors in grains, seeds and beans Tyrosine kinase agonists, autoantigen mimics, goitrogens, phytoestrogens etc. www.staffanlindeberg.com staffan.lindeberg@med.lu.se
