Sugarcoating Diet Science: Seeking Simple Truth, Past The Frosting
As recently reported in JAMA Internal Medicine, and subsequently just about every media outlet under the sun, the Sugar Research Foundation (SRF) apparently used its money decades ago to deflect blame for heart disease from its product, and pin it all on saturated fat.
The study authors tell us this means that industry-funded studies should carry less weight in general for policy-making. Most of the responding clamor has been a celebration of sugar’s comeuppance, and of the implied vindication of saturated fat. While I agree that the study is important, I find the responses to it too narrow, too extreme, and generally,...

Superfoods That Aren't That Great For The Earth's Health
The mass production of some of your favorite superfoods can pack a mean punch on the environment, but there are small choices you can make over the course of your day to minimize the damage.
