With all the salmonella fears about peanut butter currently in the news, perhaps this is the perfect time to branch out and try some other nut and seed butters. If someone really loves peanut butter, I generally recommend that they try to switch to a natural version with no added sugars since regular commercial brands [...]

Keep properly hydrated by drinking one ounce of water per two pounds body weight. This means a 150-lb person should be drinking 75 ounces of water every day—more if you are exercising/sweating. Ensure adequate protein intake by eating at least one serving of lean protein every day. For vegetarians, combine grains and beans/lentils for a [...]

Since 2004, the Food and Drug Administration has warned against consuming more than 12 ounces of seafood a week due to excessive mercury exposure. Mercury is a neurotoxin which damages the brain and nervous system resulting in confusion, balance troubles, neurological problems and developmental defects.

Here is a quote from a book I am loving right now, What to Eat by Marion Nestle (no relation to the candy people): “If you find it hard to view dietary advice as unchanging, it is surely because the research breakthroughs and seemingly contradictory findings about one or another nutrient, food, or diet plan are [...]

How else can we avoid the white stuff? I don’t recommend using artificial sweeteners such as Splenda, Sweet-n-Low, Equal, Nutrasweet [...]

This weekend we had a wonderful Grand Opening and were delighted to see some familiar and some new faces. We enjoyed some tasty treats and I think a few people were surprised to see some sweets among the offerings. Sugar is not a health food by any standard—it is an addictive substance which creates withdrawal [...]

We all know we should eat more leafy green vegetables, cut down on sugar, get more fiber, and drink more water. But is this really the only way to achieve optimal health with nutrition? It is possible to eat as if one is a walking nutrition textbook, but terribly isolating and difficult to maintain. Do [...]
