Extra! Extra! Don’t Read All About It?

Every day or two, we read or hear about some new study that suggests we change the way we eat immediately to lose weight, stave off some disease, or lead a longer, more active life. Often one study directly contradicts the findings of another. The New York Times just published a great piece on the current shortcomings in nutrition research, and unfortunately, those shortcomings aren’t going away any time soon.

The takeaway? Don’t change your dietary habits with the news cycle. Take the time to find out whether a study’s findings are supported by the greater body of research, or ask someone like us who actually enjoys diving into the scientific literature and research reviews.
