Real World Nutrition News You Can Use
There is a lot of misinformation about nutrition. And nothing in this field is black-or-white, yes-or-no, but many shades of gray and a lot of “it depends.” So, my goal is to help clear up some of that misinformation with some snark, entertainment, and facts (with some opinion thrown in).
Many of these topics come from interactions with the public, friends, clients, and students. I see sheer misinformation about the science of nutrition, and I do my best to clear things up one blog post at a time.
If you have a topic you are wondering about, let me know.

Coffee Is Okay
Growing up in the mid-70s and 80s, I remember commercials for decaf coffee: “only half a cup for me” and “I’m not a doctor, but I play one on tv….” I hadn’t started consuming coffee when these commercials aired, but something told me that I shouldn’t drink a lot of coffee, if at all, once I became “of age.”
However, once I started on coffee, regular, fully leaded coffee, I was hooked. I like it. I find it to be comfort food.
