Nell, I just read your most recent blog post about the pH in Paleo, and I’m really glad to see this post! I have also been thinking about this lately. I am a big dairy lover, and was concerned with the Paleo diet about giving up my love for milk, cheese, and yogurt. But as […]
Read More ›An interesting article in last week’s AdAge Magazine about regulating sugar brought up some valid points. Have you ever thought about the fact that while we are used to seeing the FDA’s allowances on any given nutrition panel of any processed food product for daily allowances for sodium or fat, there’s none for sugar?
