I saw this article, _ food facts and fiction _ , in the Sydney Morning Herald last week and it’s finally up on their website. Paula Goodyer answers some of those basic questions about diet and nutrition, for example is spinach a good source of iron, does broccoli prevent cancer and does sugar cause diabetes? As Paula writes:

Healthy eating should be simple to do but many of us still take our information from our friends, mothers and the media – where the quality of nutrition reporting can be mixed. It’s no surprise, then, that much of what we believe and pass on to others has all the scientific accuracy of Chinese whispers.
