The number of U.S. children living with a peanut allergy increased by 21% from 2010 to 2017, with approximately 1.2 million cases—and counting. Peanuts are considered one of the top eight food allergens and are commonly associated with anaphylaxis, a sudden and potentially deadly condition that requires immediate treatment. Children living with this allergy have long been told to avoid peanuts and peanut products—and even products produced in the same facility as peanuts, depending on the severity of the allergy....

It’s a huge feat to lose 30, 20 or even 10 pounds, but it’s a whole other venture to be able to keep it off. About 70% of people losing a low to modest amount of weight gain it all back or at least some in the next two years, according to a 2016 study supported by The Endocrine Society. Yo-yo dieters (those who have lost and regained 10 pounds at least once) have an even tougher time keeping off lost weight....

Diarrhea, which is defined as having three or more loose, watery stools a day, can be very uncomfortable and incredibly annoying. While it can come on for a whole host of reasons, you might experience diarrhea after eating a spicy meal, or a high-fat meal or something more involved, like a bacterial imbalance, a virus or a digestive disorder, like lactose intolerance, Crohn’s disease or irritable bowel syndrome. And sometimes medications, like antibiotics, can also trigger diarrhea....

Guacamole and avocado toast lovers, rejoice! TikTok has done it again and this time the hack could save you a trip to the hospital. No, but seriously, researchers at Emory University estimate 50,413 avocado-related knife injuries have occurred from 1998 to 2017, with more than half of them happening since 2013. It’s so common that many hospitals have nicknamed the injury “avocado hand.” Aside from the risk of injury, nothing is more annoying than bruising or mangling that perfectly ripe avocado by trying to excavate its pit with a spoon or tool that doesn’t really work....

I recently went to town on my freezer, throwing out all kinds of frozen packages from vegetables to meat to leftovers. I filled my 13-gallon trash can, then promptly walked it out to the dumpster for collection. I felt incredibly guilty about how much food I was tossing, but some of it looked more like a science experiment than something I would actually eat. I vowed to take better inventory of the stuff I store in my freezer, but I couldn’t shake the guilty feeling of being so wasteful....

01282016_WhitesSquare.jpg Don’t judge a vegetable by its color alone. Vibrant fruits and vegetables have standout appeal, but recommendations to “eat the rainbow” can exclude one underappreciated category: white fruits and vegetables. These boast a variety of flavors and noteworthy nutrition accolades, according to research published in Advances in Nutrition. The researchers pointed out that many nutrients-including several that Americans don’t get enough of-and good-for-you phytochemicals that give fruits and veggies their health benefits are not always colorful....

As a food and nutrition writer, I’ve been telling people that they need to eat more fiber long before anyone ever hyphenated “plant-based” and used it as an adjective for “diet.” There are so many health benefits to eating enough fiber, but most of us still don’t come close to the recommended 25 to 38 grams a day. And it probably has a lot to do with fiber’s, ahem, image problem....
