a bit about me
I have a confession to make: I’m probably studying nutrition for the same reason psychologists do what they do – to figure myself out. It’s true. In high school I experienced my own “awakening” to the power eating has over the way I feel and act, and I noticed that it seems to affect certain people more than others. My family’s bodies are the more sensitive type. My mom’s side especially has a rainbow of curious symptoms that seem completely unrelated, except that many of them clear up if we eat or don’t eat certain things. A few of us have become crusaders for the cause and have charged ourselves with finding and fixing what’s wrong with us. We know it’s all linked somehow!
By having our noses in books about allergies, additives, corn, and wheat, as well as in other peoples’ lives, we’ve discovered, amazingly, that we are not alone! There are other families just like us – with similar symptom spectra and similar frustrations! Not only this, but it seems that our problems are becoming more common throughout the nation. So really, this isn’t a self-centered quest at all: we’re fixing the world!
The difficulty of studying nutrition today is an overabundance of information, and, frankly, a lot of it is rot. This is a researched forum – we’ll discuss current research and present ideas, trying to wade through the mess of opinions out there. In accordance with this search for truth, if you, Dear Reader, find quality research that contradicts (or supports) any statement here, PLEASE share them with us!
