Disclaimers

Regarding Health Information:
I'm not a doctor, and I don't have a fancy title. I've got a bachelor's degree in English, a certificate of Nutrition from Nutrition Therapy Association, a bunch of experience with my own health and the health of my kids, and a whole lot of passion about real food and legitimate research and studies. That said, I have to tell you that you should probably consult with your doctor before following any of the advice that I give. Hopefully you've got a really good doctor who believes in real food and who cares about your long-term health! :)

Also, I have to let you know that I've got affiliate links on this site. If you click on them and buy something, there will be no additional cost to you, but I may make a small percentage. I don't link to products or services that I would not honestly recommend to my friends!

Regarding No Ads:
You may notice that this site does not have a bunch of in-your-face pop up ads and videos on it. Even though this site could make a lot of money that way, I strongly dislike all of those ads!
