My writing: Double Trouble – Counseling Clients with Diabetes & Celiac Disease

My Writing: The Hygiene Hypothesis

My latest article in Today’s Dietitian is available online. Ever heard the expression that a little dirt never hurt anyone? Those who are familiar with the “hygiene hypothesis” just might have some data to back that up—or do they? The hygiene theory periodically finds its way into the news under the guise of headlines such as “Modern Hygiene’s Dirty Tricks” (Science News, 1999), “Kiddie Allergies: Let Them Eat Dirt” (What Doctors Don’t Tell You, 2002), and “From Good Hygiene...
