Links

Here are some links that I found especially useful when researching my topic.

http://www.beyondveg.com - This site provides a wealth of information about evolutionary diet which is important when considering optimal diet. It has some very compelling evidence and goes a long way in debunking the so called health benefits of vegetarian diets. I haven't come across an article on this website that is not supported by quality evidence.

http://dinakhader.blogs.com/ - This is a great blog about eating right and advances in nutrition research. There is a guide for college students on how to eat right and even a post about the gap in nutrition between Great Britain and the United States. I highly suggest reading this blog.

http://www.thincs.org/ - Cholesterol levels are the basis of the diet established by the Department of Agriculture. This site offers some insight into the cholesterol-heart disease myth established in the mid 1900s. It is important to know the science behind the food we eat. Understanding cholesterol.

http://health.howstuffworks.com/fat-cell2.htm - An unbiased source that details how the body stores fat and which hormones are responsible for it. I love hostuffworks.com and was happy to find an article that I could apply to my blog.

http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/21/gary-taubes-on-the-latest-diet-study/ - An article with an interview of my favorite nutritionist Gary Taubes. If you haven't heard of him yet, you will in my next couple of posts. He is a pretty amazing nutritionists, at least in my opinion. I have read his book "Good Calories, Bad Calories" and found the evidence presented in his book quite compelling.

Update: I added a little more detail to my descriptions.
