A registered dietitian sorts fact from fiction on eight common nutrition myths — whether carbohydrates are fattening, if fat-free means calorie-free, how juice compares to whole fruit, whether eating late causes weight gain, if sugar makes children hyperactive, and why restaurant salads aren't always the light choice. Written for families and students by Karen Crawford, MS, RD, CSP, and grounded in the fundamentals of balance, moderation, and variety. A shareable resource for school administrators supporting nutrition education at home.
