Love the sentiment as well as the technical accuracy. I am a nurse trying to get similar message out as well as other things regarding health and misconceptions thereof. Just starting, so your blog is an inspiration. Look forward to following you in the future.

I think the most important thing you say here is to not listen to mainstream media when it comes to advise on eating and nutrition.

I think you could write a book about navigating the media when it comes to health and nutrition.

I look forward to buying your first book which I sure will be a valuable addition to my book collection.

I very much agree with your rant about nutrition information and the popular media. NPR’s On The Media did a segment about that very subject a couple of weeks ago:

But it also seems like there’s a disconnect in academia between the biochemists who are trying to understand obesity from a purely biological or systems level and people like the Rudd Center at Yale, who are trying to influence food policy. The people trying to make policy seem to be yelling a lot louder and are being heard a lot more, and they’re not necessarily the right people to listen to.

Thank you! It’s only seven years old!

(Meaning, I haven’t read it in a long time, so I’m not even sure what the hell it says. But I linked to it in some other post, so I thought I should add it to the archives here.)
