Check out this post from Steve Novella about Clean Eating...plus, a handful of nutrition myths

Salt
Eggs
Whole wheat
Saturated fat
Coffee

Out of the five examples above, which one is absolutely, unequivocally health?

If you picked whole wheat, you're wrong. Indeed, if you picked any of them wrong. None of them is absolutely, unequivocally healthy...nor are any of them absolutely, unequivocally unhealthy, either.

This is an example of some of the myths surrounding nutrition that we have floating around. As a secular homemaker, it's important to me to separate the wheat from the chaff (ha ha!) and figure out where the solid ground is when I'm feeding my family.

I read this piece by Dr. Steve Novella of Science-Based Medicine yesterday, and I highly recommend everyone take a look at it: The Clean Eating Delusion.
