A national day you should never celebrate
Yesterday was National Junk Food Day…and while I get the fun intent behind these “national days,” junk food is not something anyone should be celebrating. Processed junk foods are arguably the most widespread and significant cause of disease and early death in our existence. Sure, we can point fingers at smoking, excessive alcohol intake, pharmaceuticals and lack of exercise as underlying factors behind our sickly states of health too, but food is numero...
The #1 reason we’re sick, fat and dying younger
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the US currently spends about $3.5 trillion every year on healthcare—that’s about two and one half times more per capita than any other developed nation. You’d think that would translate into 330 million healthy citizens, but you would be wrong. Americans are getting sicker and fatter by the day, and rank an alarming 49th in the world for life expectancy! There are many factors...
Why you should always choose butter over margarine
At a recent holiday luncheon at my church, I was quickly reminded that the average person is still completely clueless about fats, particularly as they pertain to butter versus margarine. We had Italian food catered, and there was a bowl of wrapped butter pats next to the bread. One of the women asked in a rather loud tone, “Isn’t there any margarine for the bread? Butter is so bad for you!” Most of the congregation...

Stay away from this horrible diet advice
As a holistic nutritionist, when I see the downright horrible diet advice that people are given or read on “health” sites or magazines, it makes me seethe. No wonder 7 out of 10 of us are sick, overweight, and medicated. And one of the biggest problems is that many sources of this dreadful advice appear to be credible! For example, I once read an article by a registered dietician (RD) that claimed artificial sweeteners are...
Impossible burger—quite possibly harmful
If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while, you probably remember me saying this at one point or another about processed foods: The farther you venture away from Nature with what you eat, the less nutritious (and quite likely more harmful) it is to your body. This is especially true when it comes to the latest “hot topic” in the world of highly processed food products… The Impossible Burger! Here’s the scoop on...
