Nutrition Skinny™

Unless we live in a cave without WiFi, we are constantly bombarded with information on food and nutrition and their effects on health! Newspapers, magazines, bestselling books, TV shows, websites, your family, friends, neighbors, fitness instructors, and maybe even your doctors offer advice on what--and what not--to eat! And half of it contradicts the other half. How in the world do you navigate this barrage of information, separating the wheat from the chaff? How do you read an article or listen to a news story about a recent study and decide if it is believable AND if it applies to you?

In this section, you will find a combination of resources:

• Advice (from me and other nutrition experts) about how to read and listen to news about nutrition studies and the signs that separate the credible from the too-good (or bad)-to-be true;

• Reputable sources of credible (based on rigorous scientific evidence) nutrition information with descriptions of what you'll find there; these are sources I rely on myself whose information I generally trust as being evidence based and sound; and

• The kinds of sources to avoid (although I won't name names).

It's important for me to mention that any "outside resources" mentioned here are done so simply because I find them an important source for healthy eating.  I receive absolutely no funds, endorsements, or assistance from these places.  If it's beneficial to health, I'll direct you to it for that reason and that reason alone...period!
