Beefy Arguments for Libertarianism
This report has layers of flaws and is the most egregious abuse of evidence that I have ever seen,"said Walter Willett of Harvard. "Their recommendations are really irresponsible,"said Frank Hu of Harvard. A contrarian would immediately assume, therefore, that the study in question must be marvelous. Is it?Well, it represents part of a new wave in nutrition, in which a group of scientists who have no financial ties to the food industry set themselves up, like the justices of the Supreme Court, to adjudicate as a panel on a field of research. And, again like the justices of the Supreme Court, they are not frightened from ...

Impossible and Beyond: How healthy are these meatless burgers?
Plant-based burgers are not a novel concept. But new products designed to taste like meat are now being marketed to vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat’s Beyond Burger are two such options. Eating these burgers is touted as a strategy to save the earth, casting meat as a prehistoric concept. Both brands also offer up their products as nutritious alternatives to animal protein.
But how do they stack up? It turns out the answer may depend on whether your priorities lie with your personal health or the health of the planet.
The good news: Meatless burgers are a good source of protein, vitami...

Best of Our Blogs: June 21, 2019
It’s been 9 years since I started working here. That’s why it’s with a heavy heart that I write this post.
After months of going back and forth, I finally decided to move on from my work at Psych Central, at least for now.
It’s been an amazing ride. I’ve spent most of my early writing years here. Founder John M. Grohol, Psy.D. is one of the best people I’ve ever worked with. I’m so grateful he took a chance on me when I first started. I didn’t know what I was doing, but I was eager to write about mental health. It’s been a journey of self-growth.
I’ve learned so m...

The #1 Reason People Fail at 30-Day Challenges
Many people fail with 30-day challenges, usually not making it past the first week. And the #1 reason for failure is that they didn’t make a crystal clear commitment to do a specific activity for all 30 days.Giving your mind a clear enough commitment is a key to success with 30-day challenges. Committing to 5 minutes per day of a specific activity in a specific location at a specific time of day is usually a lot more effective than a vague commitment to “do some exercise” each day.A clear commitment is binary. Either you did it or you didn’t. There’s little or no wiggle room to give yourself c...

Vegan Tsunami Mean Easier Than Ever to Hit Your Veg Health Quota Says Nutritionist
What a year 2019 has been for the Food and Drink industry. If anyone was in any doubt that 2019, the Vegan Diamond Jubilee, was the year of the vegan then Greggs the baker launch campaign for their new vegan Quorn Sausage Roll set the doubters alarm bells ringing. Whilst no one should be under any illusions that the Greggs Vegan Sausage roll is a ' health food ' , it ' s a nutritional leap forward for Greggs who are still umm-ing and ah-ing about using wholemeal bread. A huge U turn also for the CEO Roger Mark Whiteside (now OBE) who less than a year ago said a vegan sausage roll was " too difficult "Consequently Greg...

Government Should Keep Its Hands Off Our Tofu Sausages!
You may or may not want to eat something called a “veggie burger,” but you probably have a good idea what is in it: Vegetables. And not meat. Similarly, you also probably have a good idea what is in a “hamburger”: Beef, not ham. And a “cheeseburger”: Not just a big cheese patty, but cheese melted on top of beef (yum!). Consumers are pre tty savvy about these things.Sometimes governments try to offer “clarity” through labeling regulations, but in doing so they often make things more confusing. Last yearwe wrote about U.S. government efforts to prevent dairy-free milk products from using the word “milk” o...

30 Days of 16/8 Intermittent Fasting
On Sunday I finished a 30-day trial of intermittent fasting, testing the variation where one fasts for 16 hours and eats only during an 8-hour window each day. In this post I’ll share what the experience was like.Of the various 30-day trials I’ve done, this was one of the easiest, especially after the first few days of adjustment. I messed up on one day for logistics reasons, eating in about a 10.5-hour window that day, but otherwise it was pretty smooth sailing. Some days I got the eating window below 7 hours. The tightest eating window I tried was about 6 hours.I’ve had some previous fasting experience,...

I ’ m grain-free, eat nutrient-dense food – why do I need nutritional supplements?
When you remove wheat and grains from your diet, you remove phytates that block gastrointestinal absorption of magnesium, iron, zinc, calcium, and other positively-charged minerals. You also remove the trigger for autoimmune destruction of stomach parietal cells that produce stomach acid and “intrinsic factor” necessary for vitamin B12 absorption. Wheat/grain elimination therefore preserve the stomach’s capacity to produce hydrochloric acid necessary for digestion and intrinsic factor for effective B12 absorption. So if you banish wheat and grains and thereby increase absorption of nutrients and make a ha...
