Eating Fabulous Recommends: Terra Sigillata
It’s the first Thursday of the month and it’s again time for the b5media Science & Health Channel’s Theme Day. Today, each blog in the channel will point you to another blog or website that may be of interest to you.
For readers of Eating Fabulous, I’d like to call your attention to one of Science Blogs’: Terra Sigillata.
Terra Sigillata, Medicines from the Earth is written by a pharmacologist and discusses natural product drugs and dietary supplements, among other things. From his about page:
Abel Pharmboy is a pseudonymous, independent Ph.D researcher/educator trained in pharmacology and toxicology, hoping to be a voice of reason and skepticism, but equally open-minded about conventional and folkloric therapeutic agents. I take prescription drugs, I take herbs, I’ve worked in a pharmaceutical company, I’ve worked in a university, I’ve been awarded tenure, I’ve relinquished tenure…you get the picture. You’ll be the judge of whether I’m objective.
I have to admit, I’ve just recently come across this blog, but what I’ve read during the first few minutes were enough to make me subscribe to its feeds. There is so much hype and confusion surrounding functional foods and dietary supplements, a pharmacologist’s viewpoint is something we can all benefit from.
