Thought you'd never find diet and nutrition, look no further. All the information on diet and nutrition you can find plus more on diet and nutrition.

As if Vee Jefferson's low-carb slam piece that I highlighted last week wasn't enough to get you riled up out of your seat, then perhaps this Market Day column featuring the glorious thoughts and opinions of yet another brilliant registered dietitian will. Oh this is gonna be so much fun, I can tell already!Straight from The Diet Channel comes the immeasurable wealth of nutritional knowledge from a dietitian named Kathy Goodwin. With 16 years of experience sharing with others her opinions about diet and nutrition, Goodwin recently finished up her Master's degree work in counseling psychology which should come in rather handy when people come to her thoroughly confused and befuddled by the twisted mind games she is playing regarding the facts surrounding livin' la vida low-carb.On the subject of the continuing popularity of the Atkins/low-carb nutritional approach, something I highlight in Episode 3 of my podcast "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show," Goodwin exclaims that she's not impressed with livin' la vida low-carb because the weight loss is not permanent and she contends it is not healthy over the long-term."Many do feel an attachment to Atkins and other low-carb plans because a great number truly do lose weight," she exclaimed.

In the 18-month history of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb" blog, never has anything caused more anger and disgust from my readers than this Augusta Free Press article about livin' la vida low-carb. I quite literally received a link to this article from nearly a hundred different people begging me to respond. When I saw it earlier this week, my first reaction was to ignore it and move on. But the more I thought about it and the more people who kept telling me about it, I changed my mind and decided to confront Jefferson's thoughtless column directly. As a registered nurse for the past decade, she has been sharing others her wealth of wisdom about health. I think her patients should demand a refund of their money for her health advice because this woman is clearly delusional about diet and nutrition.In her column entitled "Low-carb diets - some dangerous truths uncovered," Jefferson immediately laid the groundwork for her attack against the low-carb lifestyle by declaring it as "a very unhealthy way to lose weight." She adds that it is "dangerous" for reasons that go far beyond the high-fat content and added calories.

Tens of millions of consumers seek nutrition advice online, regularly searching for information about dietary supplements, food allergies and how to lose weight.

But a new evaluation of the 20 most popular diet and nutrition Internet sites by Consumer Reports WebWatch shows that the information they dish out can be slim on facts and sometimes bloated with commercial interests.

"More than half the top 20 sites were not rated well by our panel," says Beau Brendler, director of Consumer Reports WebWatch. "That is of some concern."

To evaluate the sites, Consumer Reports WebWatch, sponsored by the Pew Charitable Trusts and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, teamed with the nonprofit Health Improvement Institute. Using Nielsen/NetRatings, they identified the 20 most popular diet and nutrition Web sites, including WebMD.com, with 11 million unique users.
