Lies, Greed, and Poor Clinical Decisions

  If you didn't guess, I'm talking about supplements and those who sell them.   They are not always regulated by the government.

Quinoa’s Qualities – and Sorry if I Bashed You

If you read my recent blog about quinoa, which was pretty popular, you might have felt like I was bashing it. And I don't mean to get the husk off. So I'm going to write about the benefits of quinoa in more depth, than my previous piece (where the goal was to dispel the myth that quinoa is high-protein).   I take your feedback seriously. So this one's for you and for Quinoa.     What it is: It's a seed but nutritionally it resembles to a whole grain. The outside is poisonous and is removed...
