Food Allergies
You know what pisses me off about health and nutrition?: the incredible amount of “conflicting” evidence or information. We so naively think certain foods are healthy (or don’t think at all). Or we jump on the bandwagon of one fad without being sure it’s the “right” one for us and our bodies.

But let’s back up. 20 years ago I heard an ND say that we crave foods we are allergic to. That was the first time I gave up sugar. I’ve done it 3 or 4 times for 2-3 years. I always feel healthier.
