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.

Plant-Based vs. Vegetarian - What’s the Difference?
Several years ago, someone asked me if I promote a plant-based whole foods diet?
I responded, “of course, I promote plant-based diets, and I don’t care where you shop for your food.”
I don’t think she understood that I don’t care about shopping at Whole Foods – I get my groceries from a convenient place and won’t drive across town for overpriced food.
But then this same person got offended when I did a post about the health benefits of eggs and the nutrients they have.
