Just about every time someone leaves the doctors office, they are told to exercise and eat well. Sadly, at this point in our collective human history, there is still not wide consensus on how to do either properly. With nutrition in particular, it feels like near daily whiplash.

Food goes between the lines of nutrition research, providing a clear road map for the confused eater.
