Welcome

This blog is for you. There is so much health news out there, and so much of it seems change from day to day. You know how it goes: not too long ago, we were told that all fat was bad, now we know that some kinds of fats are good, and necessary for your health.

I follow diet and nutrition news on a regular basis and I'd like to help you make sense of it. I have a masters degree in biochemical engineering (I studied how limiting nutrients affects bacterial growth) and a deep interest in how diet affects our health. But I am not a doctor so here is the necessary disclaimer: This blog is for your personal information only. I do not provide medical advice. Please consult your physician or health care provider before beginning any diet or exercise program, or changing your diet or medication.

Now that we have taken care of that, on to more interesting things.
