In the medical world there is always new information that changes our view of old information. It has recently been found that all calories are not equal. Meaning that one hundred calories of cake and one hundred calories of carrots are not digested in the same way. Previously this difference was not taken into consideration, causing diets that called for counting calories to become popular. Counting calories is one method of measuring food consumption and partially indicates how healthy a food item is, in this way counting calories is still useful, but it is not the best way to improve your health.
