For this reason, his new website could not be more aptly named.

Keith-Thomas Ayoob is one of my favorite nutrition experts. I covered diet and nutrition for USA TODAY for more than 30 years, and during that time, Keith was one of my regular go-to sources for stories. I really admire the way Keith can take complex science and distill it into practical, user-friendly information, and I also appreciate that he thoroughly researches topics before he offers insights on them.
