Junkfood Science

Sandy Szwarc writes Junkfood Science, a blog offering qualified analysis of health issues, and providing information about news on food, weight, health and healthcare.

Sandy is a registered nurse with impressive qualifications and experience , "...a biological science degree and 30 years in neonatal intensive care and emergency triage; medical outreach and health communications; and research.", so her informative blog is a welcome balance to the way health stories are usually presented (distorted) by the media.

It's refreshing to read an honest and educated view about news related to food, diets, and other health issues.

You can also see virtual science in action via a popular series of interactive animations.

In addition, there's another interesting feature called "Cool Science Images" which really are cool!
