Environmental Nutrition
"ENVIRONMENTAL NUTRITION," a weekly feature from the editors of the award-winning independent newsletter Environmental Nutrition
Readers all too often find themselves awash in a sea of conflicting advice on hot topics such as low-carb diets, vitamin E, eating fish and genetically modified foods. Environmental Nutrition offers authoritative, reliable, practical guidance on what works and what doesn't in balancing your diet to protect against disease, manage your weight, minimize risk from pesticides, and live a longer, healthier life.
Environmental Nutrition's experts review scores of research reports, talk to regulators and other professionals, and provide sensible, practical--and sometimes surprising--bottom-line guidance on how to eat for health. A "newsletter that gets things right," is how the New York Times described this 33-year-old publication. Now its insight is available to publishers for their health and food sections.

Looking for the Mark of the Mediterranean Diet

Well-publicized research links eating the Mediterranean way with a number of positive effects, including lengthened life, anti-cancer and anti-depression properties, weight management, protection against Alzheimer’s disease, improved symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, and decreased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and diabetes. And don’t forget that Mediterranean cuisine is more than just healthy—it’s delicious.
With so many good reasons to dive into Mediterranean food, what’s keeping you from taking the plunge? For many people, the question is simple: “How do I get started?” Contrary to what you might think, the Mediterranean diet is not an exotic way of eating foods, or a “diet” in the sense of something you might go “on” or “off.”

Deconstructing Detox Treatments: Myth or Health Restorative?
“Snake oil,” declares Robin Bernhoft, M.D., incoming president for the American Academy of Environmental Physicians, when asked what he thinks about over-the-counter diet detox kits. Since Dr. Bernhoft offers detoxification treatments in his southern California clinic, his disapproval might seem out of place. But the medical detox his clinic offers is different from what consumers get from a detox kit purchased at a health food store.
This is the confusing landscape of the detox diet world, which ranges from books and kits to clinic regimes and protocols.
