About On Nutrition

Written by Ed Blonz, On Nutrition covers topics ranging from the relationship between red meat and colon cancer to potential problems with the use of herbs or weight-loss shakes.

It is difficult for most nutrition writers to critically examine studies because they lack training in the sciences. As a trained scientist, I'm able to make complicated information more understandable and user-friendly for readers.

Says Blonz

While dispelling myths and explaining important new findings, Blonz clarifies nutrition questions with easy-to-understand, concise information, empowering readers to make their own decisions through a better understanding of foods and nutrition.
