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.

Stop Judging Food Choices
I encounter nutrition misinformation every day, clearing up nutrition untruths, updates, and points of fact to clients and students.
And I also must remind people that it is NOT their role, nor mine, to shame anyone for their food choices.
It isn't anyone's business to tell someone else they should not drink diet soda. If someone asks me in a professional context, I answer truthfully. But I don't randomly tell people my thoughts.
It isn't anyone's business to tell people that they should choose organically grown foods, or they will get cancer. First, that is just a dumb thing to say, and two, that isn't true.
I do want to emphasize that we are often harder on ourselves.
