Welcome to There's Science in my Soup!

My name is Lauren Mesaros, and I'm a senior nutrition major from Abilene Christian University. I have one year left until I graduate, but I've completed all the nutrition courses in my degree--I'm just finishing some commuication courses and a minor in Digital Entertainment Technology. Since I won't be studying nutrition every day in class like I'm used to, I tried to think of a way to help keep that knowledge fresh in my mind... and so, a blog is born!

Think of it like Mythbusters for nutrition. I'll take any questions you have about food or health, do legitimate research, and write about the best of what I find and know. (For example, I've already received a few questions such as: "Does dairy cause acne?" "Which foods are good to eat after an injury?" and "Does ginkgo really help with memory?") Whatever you have ever wondered about nutrition, just leave a comment or send me a message, and I'll respond as quickly as a college student can. I'm going to be gone most of the month of July, but I thought I would start this up and open the door for questions ahead of time.

Thanks for reading!
