What We Should Account For in Food More Often, But Probably Don’t (Hint: it’s not fiber or added sugar)
Well folks, it’s time to celebrate: Happy 100 Years of Popularized Calorie Counting! Yep, calorie counting propelled in prominence beginning in the post-war era during the 1920s, though the existence of the calorie was discovered long before.

The Reality of Metabolic Damage
I think the term “metabolic damage” itself poses a great deal of loaded questions. It’s almost like coming out of one’s shell after hiding something for such a prolonged period of time.
