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.

What’s Up With Eggs?
Many people still remember when eggs were a diet "disaster" long ago. Then, the message was we should avoid or limit eggs because they contain so much cholesterol and are bad for your heart.

I bring this up because to this day – in the spring of 2022 – I still have people who ask me about eggs.
