Ten researchers from the CDC’s National Centers for Immunization and Respiratory Disease (NCIRD) released a paper arguing that because the immune-boosting effects of breastmilk inhibit the effects of the live oral rotavirus vaccine, nursing mothers should delay breastfeeding their infants.
Should You Feed Your Baby Iron Fortified Food? (Part 2)
Most pediatricians advise breastfeeding moms to supplement their baby’s iron intake with drops. And when its time for baby to start on solids, the current recommendation is to chose iron-fortified cereals after 6 months of age and to continue that supplementation until around age 2.
Should You Feed Your Baby Iron Fortified Foods?
To avoid low iron levels, the American Academy of Pediatricians advises doctors to make a blanket recommendation that between ages 6 and 24 months, when iron stores run out and children aren’t getting that much iron in their foods, parents buy iron-fortified formula and cereal. A friend of mine recently prompted me to question that assumption.
On Deep Nutrition and Genetic Expression
Thanks to the publicity surrounding the human genome project, most of us think we know something about genetics. However, genetic science, like nutritional science, is still in its infancy. Until recently, for example, we used to think of genes as set in stone. You either had good genes or bad genes, and they determined whether or not you would get breast cancer, have crooked teeth, or get an astigmatism in your middle age. Modern genetic research has shown us otherwise. It turns out these things are more heavily influenced by nutrition — yours, your parents’, and your grandparents’.
Why I *Heart* Paleo, Primal, and WAPF Diets
What do the Paleo Diet, the Primal Diet, and the WAPF Diet have in common? A love of ancestral health. In their own ways, each of these diets is committed to eliminating processed, industrial foods in favor of the traditional diets that humans have been eating for thousands of generations.
Dangers of Modern Vegetable Oils
Can I vent a little bit? Will you mind? I’m so tired of hearing about how “heart-healthy” canola oil is! This is the newest cooking oil on the market today. It didn’t even exist until the late 1970s, and the variety of canola grown today wasn’t invented until 1998! Not only is it a genetically-modified herbicide-resistant crop, but it’s the prime example of a modern vegetable oil.

A Tax On Saturated Fat
Talk about misguided. The country of Denmark recently passed a tax on all foods containing more than 2.3 percent saturated fat. Naturally, many healthy, whole foods made the list of taxable foods, including: avocados, butter from grass-fed cows, eggs from hens raised on pasture, and coconut oil.
How Diet Affects Fertility, Pregnancy, and Newborns
Did you know that your diet can keep you from getting pregnant? Or that you can prevent morning sickness and stretch marks through nutrition? Did you know that infertility is a modern problem? Traditional cultures rarely, if ever, experienced infertility. In their wisdom, they held the most nutrient-dense foods in sacred places of honor, reserving them for women and men who would soon be attempting to conceive. Sadly, this is lost to most of us in the developed world.
