More than 2,500 years ago Aristotle developed a philosophical principle he called the “Golden Mean.” He argued choosing moderation between two extremes is often the most moral and desirable of all actions.

Dear Doctors: I had lunch with a co-worker, and she’s on a keto diet. She says she can have only 35 grams of carbohydrates per day. The label on the candy bar she was eating said it had 26 grams of carbs, which is almost her whole carb budget. But she said it only had 6 net carbs. What does that mean?
