It's interesting that the population seems to be very critical of any food-health articles, presumably from over-saturation of poor science reporting. (Best example of this I know of - http://kill-or-cure.herokuapp.com/ http://kill-or-cure.herokuapp.com/ - a study of things the UK's "Daily Mail" "newspaper" has claimed cause or cure cancer, many are in both categories).
But it is also clear that what and how we eat has a significant effect on our health, which is interesting and relevant to us.
How to sort the wheat from the chaff?
A "truth database" or factchecking site might be pretty useful. Or would it just boil down to "eat your vegetables and do a bit of exercise"?

- eurg 13y agoDon't forget: Eat not too much, and not too little. Sulfuric acid is not healthy. Yes, it's mostly that. When I started reading around in preparation of living vegan, I was slightly surprised how well people can live from different diets. From almost pure meat-based, to pure plant-based, much fat, little fat, one meal a day, five meals a day, much carbs, few carbs... It seems that the modern US-European food-style is one of the few diets which mixed and matched together stuff in a really bad way.
