All nutrition news must be taken with a grain of salt. Some reports don’t appear to reveal anything at all, but many just come across too strongly, that is, the headlines come across too strongly. The p-u-b-l-i-c mind should know better by now. Stand guard against reports that confirm your current beliefs, and watch for reports which may be just displays of a few researchers previously held beliefs.

Since I linked to research (not nutrition related) yesterday which I automatically rejected based on my biases, I will link to a report I can accept without question. “Breast-feeding in the first three months of life appears to help shield children from developing food allergies,” according to a presentation at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Sure, it does. Never doubted it.

Where’s my grain of salt?
