Starting out

My hopes for this blog are not to talk about things that are definitely true or definitely false but to provide information that makes one think about some of the conventionally or widely held beliefs that we, or a majority of people, assume to be correct.  Just as the title insinuates, it will be a place to question beliefs we all have about nutrition; what is healthy, what is unhealthy, how things tie together and relate, and what to eat because after all we have to eat something.  Sometimes we are more concerned about performance, or preventing disease, or longevity and we realize that we can't have the best of all worlds so we make compromises in the short term, but hopefully with a mind on the long term. I will be wrong at times and I will miss research but what I hope I can do most of all is get people questioning what their nutritional beliefs are and why they are what they are. Hopefully some will test the information and theories presented, at least with logic if not action, and then comment on their findings or results via the blog. I have a number of topics I already plan on talking about, some of them big picture and some of them much more focused or at the cellular level, but I am definitely willing to write about what others would like to read about. That being said, feel free to offer suggestions about topics you would like discussed.
