Top 10 Food and Nutrition Blogs for 2010
Chicago-based dietitian Janet Helm has definitely cooked up a top-notch nutrition blog! Her blog is well-known for covering the hottest food topics in the country – discussing trendy new foods, new diet reviews, food crazes and fads, and more. What we like most about Janet’s blog is that she’s not afraid to bring forward controversy for further discussion. For the science junkies, this blog is loaded with good, solid facts and information. But Janet doesn’t tell you what not to eat. Instead, she brings science to the table so readers can sniff out the quackery themselves.

Want to stay up to date on hot nutrition topics with one of the #1 dietitian bloggers? Then make Nutrition Unplugged a regular read.

The first expert I want to introduce you to is a local blogger who blogs about nutrition. I read a ton of articles from several different bloggers on a daily basis and I’ve found this blogger to be particularly informative and very up-to-date and the best part is, is that she’s from Chicago! Her name is Janet Helm and she writes a blog called Nutrition Unplugged. Her mission is to: Translate nutrition science into intelligible words – and healthy food choices. She wants to help people make sense of nutrition news. She believes food should be enjoyed, not feared. And thinks taste and health can happily co-exist. Her blog certainly follows through on her mission and I agree with Janet, healthy food can be delicious.
I don’t usually make personal endorsements… so this posting is a bit off-center for me. But I have to give a thumbs up to fellow RD Janet Helm for not only her recent posting on her blog Nutrition Unplugged, but in general, her ability to boil down nutrition info into easy to understand language that most of us… well… can understand. Her recent posting on Kombucha is spot-on… and I love how she addresses both the good and the bad on the topic (a tact of hers that I find so refreshing… rather than all the one-sided “bad” press on so many topics.) Janet’s made a career out of being an RD who brings nutrition info to the masses, rather than patient by patient. And I applaud her for her work. If you’re interested in subscribing to a blog that’s always on top of the latest nutrition debate, give hers a try.
Dietitian Janet Helm, a frequent Good Eating contributor, aims to get the facts out about nutrition information and fads. For instance, one recent post noted that eating an apple will deliver more antioxidants than expensive so-called super juices, such as MonaVie that contain acai, goji berries, mangosteen and other exotic fruits. “I want to be a source of reliable information for readers,” she said. “And a place where the record is set straight.”
