Back to the Best

Here is a wonderful website offering all kinds of information on nutrition. A family owned and operated farm and organic store with much to offer. Dan and Paula Seigmann run and operate this farm, website, and organic store with their 8 homeschooled children. Not only is "the farm" a wonderful place to visit in person but also online as there is so much to learn. Here is their website address. Welcome to Best Nutrition

Nourishing Traditions

This well-researched, thought-provoking guide to traditional foods contains a startling message: Animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels. Sally Fallon dispels the myths of the current low-fat fad in this practical, entertaining guide to a can-do diet that is both nutritious and delicious.
Topics include the health benefits of traditional fats and oils (including butter and coconut oil); dangers of vegetarianism; problems with modern soy foods; health benefits of sauces and gravies; proper preparation of whole grain products; pros and cons of milk consumption; easy-to-prepare enzyme enriched condiments and beverages; and appropriate diets for babies and children.
