With all the discussion going on here, I would like to pop up a quick question:
How can one go about learning about nutrition?
I have tried many, many times to do this, but I always run into these problems:
1: I can't find a "big picture" overview of the field, and thereby learn which areas to focus on
2: Most of what I find seems to be anecdata, or poorly constructed studies "We followed these 7 people..."
3: The rest of which I find is always biased by what the author is trying to promote - Low Carbs! No Carbs! Water! Fruit fruit fruit!!! and suffers from points 1 and 2 above...
I would really like some good recommendations for books on learning nutrition science. From the ground (coffee) up.

- nekopa 11y agoThanks for the link! But I still have problem 1: A big picture view of the field. I am looking for a kinda Cliff's Notes of the nutrition field. Then I feel a lot of the sections on that site I would be better prepared to deal with in an informed way.
