What ingredients should I look out for on the nutrition facts for foods and beverages? So what is bad or good for my health? I’m not a vegan I don’t care if there is animal ingredients or anything, so just disclude that from it. Oh yeah and I’m not allergic to anything.
By the way this is not a way I’m looking to loose weight I’m actually trying to gain weight by getting more protein (with natural foods) and not to loose weight cause I’m fat or something. Cause I’m actually a really tall lanky kid.
I’m not worried about pesticides, I’m worried about high fructose corn syrup and stuff like that is processed or a bad kind of sugar

The term organic is incredibly overrated. There is absolutely no scientific evidence what so ever that non-organic food is any worse for you than organic food. In fact, if everybody ate organically there would only be enough food in the world to feed about 2/3 of the world population.

The stuff you’re worried about, like pesticides, is already strictly controlled by both FDA and the producer.

EDIT: Well there’s certainly no high fructose corn syrup in non-organic produce If you’re worried about processed foods, which is completely legitimate, you’ll have to buy all your foods in their original form, and add spices and such yourself. I, too, had to learn to cook my own food from the bottom up.

MSN Health has a good, scientifically correct list of food additives to avoid: (pay special attention to number 4, aka preservative E621, it’s everywhere).

Help?? I’m having a hard time deciding which holistic school would be best for me to attend.. I already have my BS degree from U of A in psychology I have all my sciences and chemistry classes completed up until bio chem, I would like to go back to school for something in holistic health care, especially in nutrition. I am moving to san diego and have been researching a few different schools there but always run in to some dead ends. I keep getting all these schools recommended that our online such as clayton college but feel as though they are just interested in making money.. I kind of understand the limitations of these schools in there accreditation’s but am still interested.. I guess I would like to hear some feedback from others who have attended some holistic schools online or in southern california or arizona..such as the natural healing institute in san diego or Southwest Institute of Healing Arts in az!! I would like to learn more about holistic nutrition for my self and maybe become a nutrition coach and help others prevent diseases through whole foods and stuff..

Nutritionist isn’t a real occupation, any one can call themselves it (and most do) without any training and just rely on silly websites with made up advice. You could become a health dietitian, this at least requires proper study and education, but to be honest if you’ve already got a good degree then looking at nutrition as an occupation seems like a step backwards.

Edit: There’s only one school like that in england for a very good reason, the subject isn’t a real occupation.
