NUTRITION FACT AND MYTH
The GreenSmoothieGirl Manifesto: 12 Myths Exposed
...not taught in any medical school or dietetics course!
Welcome to my NUTRITION MANIFESTO, exposing diet and nutrition fact and myth. It’s completely uninfluenced by the big industries that filter the information you get in the major, mainstream media. That media wants its advertisers appeased—and its subject matter watered down and noncontroversial.
I’ve written a short report on each of 12 topics wherein the American public has been duped. You can’t get this information from an M.D., or from a dietician, and you should know why by the time you’re done reading. I’ll give you a clue: it’s because they don’t know.
If you’re confused about any other health or nutrition topic, let me know so I can write about it:

We live in a complex world, this Information Age—but nutrition is really pretty simple.
