TLN Health News Heads Up: The Nutrition Reporter

TLN Editor Comments: If you are motivated to dig deeper into the benefits of vitamin and mineral supplementation, I highly recommend taking a look at The Nutrition Reporter. It has been one of my primary nutrition resources for nearly a decade.

I recently got the chance to catch up on some reading, and plowed through a year's worth of Nutrition Reporter newsletter back issues.

The following are headlines from 12 articles or research reviews that I found most interesting:

• Healthy Foods, Rich in Many Different Nutrients, Are Still Your Best Medicine
• Big Surprise, Good Nutrition Gives People an Edge as They Get Older
• More Research Highlights the Broad Health Benefits of Omega-3 Fish Oils and Fatty Fish
• Trans Fats at Root of Health Problems
• Prenatal Supplements Improve Birth Weight, Lower Risk of Death
• Magnesium Often Overlooked in Maintaining Normal Muscle Function
• High-Protein, Low-Carb Eating Reduces Cholesterol and Does Not Weaken Bones
• Green Tea Consumption May Help Keep Your Brain Sharp as You Get Older
• High Levels of Vitamin C Reduce Risk of Inflammation and Heart Disease
• Early Consumption of Fries May Increase Later Risk of Breast Cancer
• Low Zinc Levels May Reduce Energy Levels
• Vitamin E Boosts Lifespan, Well-Being

Editor and publisher Jack Challem classifies himself as a nutrition journalist. He is a proponent for better health through a sound, whole-food diet and intelligent use of vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients. Along with The Nutrition Reporter, Challem has written hundreds of articles and several books (Syndrome X is my favorite), and is a household name in the nutrition industry.

When perusing the Nutrition Reporter website, hone in on the Article Archives. There is a very nice collection of Challem's works and viewpoints. Enjoy and be enlightened!
