About the Author:
Are organic foods really any better for you than nonorganic? Is it possible that consuming dietary fat can actually have health benefits? And wouldn't eating turnip roots be equivalent to eating turnip greens? Despite the current attention focused upon "eating healthy," many people believe common myths regarding our food choices.
Myrna Chandler Goldstein is an independent scholar and writer who has won awards in journalism as well as the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Award.
Mark A. Goldstein, MD, is chief of the division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA.
