I don't normally write about a specific product, but I was so excited by these chips during a recent trip I took last week to San Diego that I had to share.

THE EVILS OF ERYTHRITOL?
Ever done an online search and had a hard time finding the information you needed? A couple of months ago I started wondering if erythritol would be a safe sugar alcohol to use in a gut-healthy diet, and I've had a hard time finding relevant research. My interest in this sweetener started when I realized it was the preferred sweetener used by people on ketogenic diets. After plugging away at it for a while I'm starting to find what I was looking for.

MY 2 FAVOURITE WAYS TO EAT RESISTANT STARCHES
TELENUTRITION: GET THE HELP YOU NEED FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN SOFA
You have an appointment to get the help you need. But it's going to take 30 minutes each way to get there and back. The roads are icy, so that might slow you down. Then you have to find parking. You are missing valuable work time. Or maybe you had to get a babysitter, or are dragging your kids along. When you get there, you get to sit in a waiting room with sick people, and wait... and wait... Sound familiar?
GREEN GOODNESS ON ST. PATTY'S DAY
With St. Patrick's Day falling on a Friday this year, you can bet that a lot of green beer will be consumed. If green beer isn't your thing, or if you need some beneficial green foods to balance out the effects of that green beer, then I've got you covered. I've also got a great green food that will go perfectly with that green beer.
VERSATILE PALEO MUFFIN RECIPE
I was asked last week to provide the muffin recipe for the picture I had included in the Paleo On The Go blog. I created this muffin recipe a few years ago when I was trying to come up with a simple recipe that used ingredients I always had at home. It has worked well for me, because it is a great base that almost anything can be added to. When I haven't had apples, I've used pears, bananas and even pumpkin puree. The fruit sweetens the muffins nicely. When I use pumpkin puree I use the muffins as a bun for sandwiches.

AGH! WORSE THAN CHILD BIRTH! KIDNEY STONES & HOW TO PREVENT THEM
Ever passed a kidney stone? If you have, then you know the extreme pain that goes with passing a stone. Symptoms can begin with nausea, vomiting, and can also include fever and chills. Pain on your side and back below your ribs can be intense. The pain can fluctuate and spread throughout the entire abdomen as the stone makes its way through the ureter (tube from the kidney to the bladder). Urination becomes difficult as smaller amounts are passed and the need for frequent urination increases. Urine can become foul smelling, cloudy, and bloody, and be painful to pass. The pain of passing a stone is often described as being worse than childbirth by people who have experienced both. Want to avoid this?
