Don't forget about our seminar this Thursday evening at Cancer Services' office in Winston-Salem. Cancer Nutrition Myths and Truths: Thursday 1/29 at 5:30pm.

January 7, 2015 By Julie Lanford MPH, RD, CSO, LDN

It's been a "hot topic" for several years now and I receive many questions about it when I do seminars, etc. and also via the my facebook pagee. Basically, I've avoided it because no matter what I say... someone is going to get heated and mad at me. I just know it. People go nuts over it! However, I think it's time that we have a frank, open and honest discussion about GMO foods. For those of you who aren't aware, … [Read more...]
