• What is normal eating? • What’s not true about weight loss products? • Is sugar addictive? • What about coconut? Wheat? GMO’s?
And because life sometimes gets too serious, Quinn-Essential Nutrition nourishes your lighter side with reasons to have a cup of tea, fun advice for guys and gals, and favorite corny food jokes.
