Hey Reader,

Following the vein from last week about conflicting and contradictory infromation on health, let's talk about what clean eating really is.

At it's heart, it's trying to reduce ultra-processed foods, which reduces toxic burden and increases nutrient availability.

But it should not be pursued to the extent of undue stress and for many americans follwing the standard american diet, it may take time to adjust both your lifestyle and tastebuds to less processed foods.

Sometimes it means making things from scratch at home, and sometimes that leads to liking something more than you thought you might!

I wasn't a huge fruit roll up fan growing up, but making them from scratch is a huge game-changer. These are fun treats and make a great on-the-go snack or a customizable treat for parties.

What does Clean Eating Really Mean?

The internet is misleading and conflicted on what clean eatings is or should be.

the EYWC wellness edit Alicia Pope Hey Reader, If your news feeds are anything like mine, you have heard a decent bit about artificial dyes and food colorings. And it can be super confusing to figure out what's actually going on, so I thought I'd summarize some of the important bits here. Here's a quick recap on the background Ultra-processed foods are often colored to look more palatable and fresh than they are.

Is AI generating your health policy?

the EYWC wellness edit Alicia Pope Hey Reader, There's been a lot of talk about hallucinations this week... and probably not the type you're thinking of. ;) I'm talking about AI hallucinations. This is when AI makes stuff up. This happens because generative AI (like ChatGPT and Gemini) is designed to do just that: generate content. It is not designed to research, summarize existing facts, or fact-check. It is designed to create something that matches the prompt and seems plausible. You can...

the EYWC wellness edit Alicia Pope Hey Reader, First, I'm so happy you're here. It's amazing to me that we live in a time where like-minded people trying to improve their health can band together on the interwebs and share knowledge and help each other grow and improve, bit by bit.
