Dr. P.K. Newby, nutrition scientist and author with more than 20 years of experience researching diet-related diseases, explains that these myths shouldn't deter you from continuing to visit your local market, but they are important to keep in mind.
- Myth: Eating local is the best thing you can do for the environment. Truth: Bottom line is that the best thing you can do is to eat less meat (of any kind).
- Myth: Local veggies and fruits are more nutritious. Truth: They might be more delicious, but not necessarily more nutritious. Frozen produce may even be more nutritious.
- Myth: Local food (seafood in particular) is more sustainable. Truth: There are many factors that go into sustainability. Try to eat low on the food chain to avoid contamination.
- Myth: Local food is safer. Truth: There is no conclusive data that farmers markets are safer, and local systems can lack the quality control of larger outfits with tighter regulations.
- Myth: Farmers' markets are cheaper. Truth: Although you can find terrific bargains, farmers market prices are generally comparable to or higher than other shopping spots.

Why Your Dog May Have a Better Balanced Diet than You
CLEAN Food Network
08/29/16 • -1 min
Is it possible your pet is eating a healthier diet than you?When you choose food for your pets, the considerations are very rational. You take a look at what veterinary science says is the best, and then you provide that food.
Your furry friends have very little choice in the matter.
When you choose food for yourself, there are many more variables, such as convenience, taste, discipline, trends, and eating in social settings. As a human placed in certain situations, you're more likely to make poor choices and unhealthy compromises.
Freshness and variety is a great concept, but you should also have a few go-to options that will provide essential nutrients (both micronutrients and macronutrients) and other compounds.
Douglas (Duffy) MacKay, ND, joins host Lisa Davis to explain why your pet may have a better diet than you and how you can meet your health goals, simply by slightly tweaking your choices.

How Much Protein Do You Really Need?
CLEAN Food Network
08/15/16 • -1 min
How much protein should you really be getting on a daily basis?The emerging trend is to "eat more protein," but how much should you really be getting on a daily basis?
For an average person, 10 percent of calories should come from protein (about 50 grams daily). If you're looking to build lean muscle, that figure can go all the way up to 20 percent.
Of course, you can't eat all protein all of the time. It's important to balance out your intake with healthy fats and whole-grain carbohydrates.
What are some healthy sources?
Eggs, lean meats, nut butters, beans, protein powders and bars can all help you fulfill your daily need. Bison is a great option for a lean meat that resembles beef, because it is much lower in fat and contains the same amount of protein.
Keep in mind, with powders and bars, you have to be careful with the amount of sugar those products contain.
If you're a vegetarian or vegan, there are also plant-based options for getting your protein needs. Soy, lentils, whole grains such as brown rice, and even vegetables are viable sources.
Listen in as Sarah Tuff Dunn, award-winning health, fitness and nutrition writer, joins host Lisa Davis to explain why your body needs protein, as well as which sources are the best.

A dairy sensitivity doesn't mean you have to give up the concept of milk altogether.More and more people are discovering a sensitivity to traditional cow's milk.
That doesn't mean you have to give up the concept of milk altogether.
There are many alternative milk sources that can be used in various capacities.
That doesn't mean you have to give up the concept of milk altogether.
There are many alternative milk sources that can be used in various capacities.
- Coconut milk: Wonderful for frozen desserts, such as ice cream. Also tasty in chai.
- Tiger nut milk: Naturally sweet so you don't need to add any extra sweetener.
- Grain milk: Great for porridge, pancakes, and other breakfast foods, as well as baked goods. Grain milk is also good for smoothies.
- Soy milk: Nutritionally similar to cow's milk (same amount of protein). Provides nourishment and energy. Not sweet, but rather has a bean-like taste. Rich cream texture without the distinctive flavor of coconut milk. Make sure it's organic and non-GMO.
- Almond milk: Add to coffee or oatmeal. Low in sugar. Light and slightly nutty. Look for "unsweetened" on the label.
- Cashew: Smoky and nutty undertone. Perfect for making homemade dishes like creamy mac-n-cheese.
Labeling, Safety & the Future of GMOs
CLEAN Food Network
04/25/16 • -1 min
Why does so much money and effort go into the denial of GMO labeling?A genetically modified organism (GMO) is a plant or animal whose DNA has been rearranged or altered in some way that is in opposition to its natural, organic state.
According to Megan Westgate, Executive Director of the Non-GMO Project, there are not sufficient reviews or studies to support the safety of GMOs. The FDA actually doesn't do any independent research before approving a GMO food, and there is no post-market monitoring. This makes it extremely difficult to know the impact of these foods.
There is, however, peer-reviewed research showing toxic and allergenic effects on animals who are fed GMOs. This may carry over to humans, but there is currently no long-term human trials which can definitively prove the potential danger to the human population.
The bottom line is that there is a lot unknown.
One thing cannot be denied... in 64 countries around the world, GMOs are labeled. Many countries go as far as to ban GMOs. Almost half the world's GMOs are grown in the U.S.
While the pro-marketing materials tend to spin GMO technology as a way to solve world hunger or provide other environmental benefits, more than 80 percent of GMOs grown worldwide are designed to do one thing: survive chemical pesticides/herbicides. These herbicides contain glyphosate, which is a carcinogen.
If the continuation of GMO technology is inevitable, the goal then becomes to require labeling.
Westgate says the challenge is that bio-tech companies really don't want you to know. An incredible amount of money has been invested to block mandatory labeling at the state level.
Some states have worked to require labeling via legislative measures. Vermont's congressional initiative is scheduled to go into effect this July.
However, now the bio-tech companies are working to take away state's rights to do this.
