What's the real story on food, diet and health?
Posted by kathryn in Uncategorized
Over the past few months I’ve read that even diet soft drinks can give you diabetes; Australia’s childhood obesity problem is both getting profoundly worse, while also improving; and that losing weight is either about eating foods that fill you up, or tricking your tastebuds into thinking carrots are a burger or possibly eating dangerously small amounts of food.
So much information is available and yet, it’s contradicting, confusing and sometimes just plain silly. If you’re a normal person, trying to eat well and live a healthy life, it’s easy to be confused and give up in disgust.
Each week here on Limes & Lycopene I run a question and answer forum: snappily (?) titled Q & A Thursday. It’s a day when this blog is thrown open to you, with the goal of providing simple, practical answers to the food and health questions that bother you.
You’re welcome to ask anything. In previous weeks, among the many topics, we’ve covered the best surface for a chopping board, the health benefits of nuts, how vegetarians can get enough protein and trans fat free margarines.
Q & A Thursday is on tomorrow, so start sending your questions now, either by leaving a comment or sending me an email.
