Articles

When I’m not blogging, you can find me writing nutrition articles for a variety of publications, including the Chicago Tribune — where I’ve been a regulator contributor to the Good Eating section for several years. Often these nutrition columns are picked up by newspapers around the country — including the LA Times, New York Newsday, Baltimore Sun, Seattle Times, Atlanta-Journal Constitution and others.

I’m also a regular contributor to Cooking Light and have written articles for  Cooking Smart, Relish, American Profile, Consumers Digest, abcnews.com, msnbc.com and Environmental Nutrition.

Here are just a few of my recent nutrition articles…
