I hope he goes after Drs. McDougall and Oz next.

A one-line amendment in the huge agriculture bill now under consideration would require the secretary of agriculture to grant permits for planting or cultivating GM crops – even if a federal court...

At the risk of being redundant, I suggest that you consider all that Paul Jaminet has to say about the thyroid risks of a very low-carb diet. The short version is that Jaminet says that you *can*...

There's a potential problem with too much protein. Your body doesn't store excess protein. It either converts it to glucose, if necessary (with 55% efficiency, usually when you're eating very...

Yup, they're fine. But, oddly enough, according to my brief research, they don't appear to add much value to the vegetable/tuber. Most of the potassium in the russet potato, for example, is in the...

I've had 76 views on this post but zero responses. Did I say something offensive or incredibly ignorant? Should I just RTFM/RTFB?

If people would like to experiment on themselves when they use coconut milk, both Native Forest and Arroy-D both claim to use BPA-free cans for their coconut milk. In the Bay Area, I can get a...

Have you used any nutrition software, on- or offline, to check your macronutrient and mineral intake, especially your electrolyte mineral intake?

Because some of us have broken carb metabolisms and can't tolerate that many carbs in our diet without provoking huge insulin spikes and the resulting damage and appetite for more food, especially...

The "from Italy" part worries me the most. Olive oil is one of the most adulterated foods in the world, and Italian olive oil is notorious for being (a) not from Italy and (b) not olive oil. New...

Hi,

I'm unsure if this is the right section of the forum in which to post this, so mods, feel free to move it.

I wanted to post a link to Tom Naughton's (of FatHead fame) recent speech at an...

Spinach is high in magnesium, potassium, and calcium. It's now a staple of my diet: curried (with a fair amount of butter and full-fat yogurt) and sauteed with butter, bacon grease, garlic, ginger,...
