A Look Back on the Year in Nutrition


The past 12 months have been a very busy time in the evolving world of nutrition.   

In 2013, we saw how technology played a role in the foods you eat when scientists historically produced the first laboratory grown hamburger, and computer wizards released numerous apps that helped you get dinner on the table.    The FDA was busy not only considering the banning of partially hydrogenated oils, which are the major sources of trans fat in the diet, but also standardizing gluten-free labeling down the supermarket food aisles.   Both the U.S. Senate and a major physicians� association declared war on the marketing of energy drinks to kids, and professional athletes were uncovered for profiting from endorsing junk foods being sold to adolescents.

With so much going on, I thought it would be fun to provide you with the links, in order of popularity, of my Top 10 Nutrition and You blog posts in 2013:
