Happy to say I'm a co-author of a paper that was published this week in Cereal Chemistry. Here is the abstract: There are a growing number of individuals diagnosed with food allergies and intolerances. Gluten, in particular, is avoided by many individuals because of celiac disease, gluten intolerance, and gluten ataxia. Individuals with allergies, intolerances, or both follow strict diets, but

Thiamin (vitamin B1) plays a key role as a coenzyme in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, turning pyruvate into acetyl CoA and preventing excess lactic acid from accumulating in our blood. As an endurance athlete, excess lactic acid buildup is one thing we don’t like to have. I haven’t heard much about athletes taking this supplement so I’ve been fishing around the scientific literature the past

I haven’t written a blog post in a while, but after stumbling across a few of these studies recently I just couldn’t resist. Most people probably think that the lowest cholesterol is best, saturated fats are bad, vegetable oils are good, animal products give you cancer, and kids get fat because they eat more food than they used to. Not necessarily so.... Is the use of cholesterol in mortality

One of the most misunderstood, misrepresented, and underused approaches to eating is the very low carb diet, also known as a ketogenic diet. Often referred to as dangerous  or a “fad” diet, a closer look into the mechanisms will show it is quite likely our natural state of metabolism, with the modern carb-rich diet only being a seasonal exception to the rules. Closer examination will also show

According to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, endurance athletes on a high-carbohydrate diet can exercise longer than athletes eating a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. This is the “common knowledge” of sports nutrition and up until the past ten years seemed to be relatively unchallenged. This type of diet emphasizes pastas, breads, and grains of all kinds that are supposed to

We constantly hear about the dangers of saturated fats, however so much of the demonizing of saturated fats just does not seem right to me on an intuitive level. For example coconut, nearly all saturated fat, seems to be one of the healthiest foods on earth. The sanskrit word for the coconut palm tree means ‘the tree which provides all the necessities of life’, and it has been said that a person
