A member asked:

What should you do with the unhealthy parts of food?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What are unhealthy : Parts? Other than the fat in meats, there are few "unhealthy" parts of food. There may be inedible parts of some foods, e.g., leaves of rhubarb. Take a mixed diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, low fat milk products; keep consumption of saturated fats low, no tobacco and no more than one drink a day.
