I’m looking for topics in the area of nutrition that would make for good debates (specifically, topics that have good scientific evidence to support both sides of the argument).
So I thought I’d put it out to the blogoverse - any thoughts? What controversial topics in nutrition would you want to see debated?

I absolutely love Indian food, and this recipe for falafel that I found online (and changed up a bit, as I always do) is absolutely divine! I tend to be one of those cooks, like my Grandma, who throws in whatever I happen to have on hand that sounds good at the time, and hope for the best. I encourage you to experiment, just as I do. You may find that adding some new or different, makes it even better!
–C.J. Cantrell
Falafel balls
1-1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (cooked from dry, or canned, drained)
1/4 cup whole wheat or chicpea flour (I prefer the latter)
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves
Note: Sometime I also add fresh basil, sage, oregano - whatever herb sounds good to suit your taste.
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 Tablespoon minced onion
1 Tablespoon Bragg Seasoning
3 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 - 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt […]

Driving along Wilshire Blvd this morning, a busy street that runs through most of Los Angeles, I was a bit freaked out when a bee came flopping through my car window, landing on the dashboard with, apparently, a bee egg. I’m not allergic to bees, at least I’m not sure, but Wilshire Blvd is not the place I’d like to to find out.
I found a place to pull over, and after a 15 minute struggle to find her, as she nestled beneath the chair seat, causing my adrenaline to increase and my heart to palpitate, if slightly, I brushed her away–and she flew out on her own.
I mention this only because it reminds me of a study I read a while ago on the promising effects of Bee Venom on Rheumatoid Arthritis. According to the report, “results showed 90% validity with remarkable improvement in two cases, good improvement in five […]

If your life has been bettered by the presence of 100 calorie packs, and you know it, clap your hands.
I am currently snacking on a Hershey’s “Snacksters” 100 calorie pack, complete with “cereal puffs, chocolate chip cookies, and semi-sweet & milk chocolate chips” and get this: it’s made with multigrain cereal, which I didn’t even know I liked. And considering that my biggest problem (and most of America’s) is portion control, this little packet is just the right amount of sweetness to get me through another Tuesday afternoon. And for Wednesday, I have a Reese’s packet! Score!
Ok, the enthusiasm is a bit excessive, but really…whoever coined the phrase “100 Calorie Pack” is currently sipping margaritas on an island somewhere. I mean, look what he or she has started…snack packs, pudding, granola bars, cappucino mixes–the possibilities are endless.
Yes, they are probably a little pricey, but if you aren’t able to control […]

This yogurt is SERIOUSLY fantastic. 12 g protein, only 3 g sugar, 35% daily calcium. It does have sucralose though, if you have an aversion to artificial sweeteners.
It comes in vanilla (fab), strawberry (really good), raspberry (ok, not great), and peach (YUCK). I get it in Utah at Smith’s. If you have a Fred Meyer, they would carry it there. Go GIT IT!

I just saw this article about Fish helping to reduce the risk of Dementia and Stroke by 26%. The article says that if you eat fish such as Tuna 3X per week, you can reduce your risk by 26%, and even 1X per week reduces by 13%. Besides tuna, fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids include salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines and anchovies. I still worry a little about the mercury in Tuna, but this seems like a good reason to try to get more of these types of fish or take a fish oil supplement.
Here is the bulk of the article:
Fish May Ward Off Dementia and Stroke
Those rich in omega-3 fatty acids can reduce risk by 26%, study finds

HealthDay Reporter
(HealthDay News) — Fish may be brain food after all — not making you smarter, as your grandmother said, but by lowering the risk of cognitive decline and stroke […]

A acupuncturist friend and colleague who focuses on fertility and nutrition, Meg Richichi, mentioned the link between hormones and sugar levels. I thought this was an interesting topic especially as I noticed a dramatic effect in myself when my sugar gets low……
Here are a couple of excerpts from some articles on this subject. I hope you find it as interesting as I have.
By Erin Dummert RD, CD from the Diet Channel
Good sugars and bad sugars
Why does sugar take the rap when hormones are really the problem? Sugar does cause the body to release growth-promoting hormones, but that is not the whole story. Sugar is very important to life. However, just as there are good fats and bad fats, there are good sugars and bad sugars.
Bad sugars, often referred to as simple sugars, are those in foods that do not offer any other nutritional benefit. Examples of simple sugars include foods like […]

Whole foods are the best foods for your body. These are foods that are mainly unprocessed and unrefined such as fruits and veggies and some seeds and nuts.
But the fact is that so many people eat processed foods these days. The problem is that processed foods have so much sodium and fats and preservatives in them. No wonder people are getting sick and obese. Sure, fast foods are easier and faster. But they aren’t healthier.
Take the artificial sweeteners for example. Unless you are diabetic, you shouldn’t be consuming them and even if you are diabetic you shouldn’t consume them in large quantities. Your body has a difficult time breaking down those artificial sugars. Or take it from a chemist-I have a friend who is a chemist and over dinner one evening she randomly picked up a packet of artificial sweetener and said, “I know what’s in this stuff […]
