Discuss the Paleo Diet and More on the ND Blog There are certain topics that are guaranteed to generate a lot of comments on the Nutrition Data Blog: any research (pro or con) on low-carb diets, for example. So I wasn't surprised that my recent post on the Paleo diet elicited a spirited discussion. 
















But I have to say that this was one of the most thoughtful, articulate, and illuminating debates we've ever had on the blog. For those unfamiliar with the concept, the Paleo diet is an attempt to return to the diet eaten by Paleolithic humans—before the discovery of agriculture. If you're at all interested in this concept, I think you'll find the exchange on the blog well worth reading with an open mind. (The thread reads from the bottom up.) 

Other hot topics on the blog include whether tropical oils are a healthier source of saturated fats and a recent study concluding that foods high in cholesterol may in fact raise your blood cholesterol—but the devil is, as usual, in the details. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on these and other discussions on the blog!

Nutrient of the Week: Manganese Manganese is a "trace" mineral, meaning that it is needed in very small amounts. However, those small amounts are essential to the metabolism of proteins and fat. Manganese is also involved in bone growth. For more nutrient facts: Browse our Nutrition Glossary. 


In the Spotlight: Molasses Unlike refined sugar, molasses contains significant amounts of many important nutrients. Can replacing white sugar with molasses make your diet more nutritious? Learn more on the ND Blog.
