Food Blog /cooking blog: Nutrition, medicine, health, and food
This article on food, and what we eat, and health and "nutrition" is not going to be "new" news to most of my readers.
what it does, and does well, is put a lot of things IN ONE PLACE that are usually scattered all over, or "just assumed"

its all worth reading, but page 4 is especially good. Page 4 is the page where he discusses the fact that scientists analyze food by breaking it down to ONE componant (thats how you do these tests) and that often that misses the bigger picture of how these things interact, change, and combine
his discussion of WHY the "nutrition tests" and surveys are so often useless is also great
