I did my masters thesis on the relationship between fasting and aging.
I was browsing your interesting and useful (and generally, in my opinion, well balanced and informative) website on nutritional Q&A, but I was troubled by one item that you may have missed the target on:
In the Q&A item where the questioner asked about the possible benefits of fasting,
you said, basically, that there are no...
Since food labels show how many grams of sugar in a serving, how can I know what a good goal should be?
Hi. I'm trying to cut down on the number of sugars I eat. Since food labels typically show how many grams of sugar are in a serving, how can I know what a good "goal" should be?
I'd like to record how many grams I eat now and then compare it to how many grams...
I exercise often and try to eat a healthy diet, but am I consuming enough nutrients?

I start an exercise program, stick to it for 2 months, see results, but want more.

I really would like to use the Healthy Body Calculator® and get some feedback to help me attain a normal weight. Being 5 feet 5 inches and 110 pounds I am pretty sure that this is not a normal weight to have. I am also somewhat anorexic. For example, if you put a large...
Someone would be hard pressed to convince me that low carbohydrate is not healthy.
Your information on low carbohydrate eating is questionable. You do not cite a single study, nor do you rely on information from the research of any type.

Did not find any mention of the Calorad product by Essentially Yours Industries.

It states "1 tablespoonful of Calorad at bedtime following a 3-hour...
