Welcome to r/Nutrition - mid-2018 edition
Subreddit News

Reddit Site Redesign - Reddit is working on a redesign of the site. Most new accounts here are viewing the site using the redesign version. Some 'old' accounts have been added in and see it as well. We've made efforts to modify the subreddit with the options currently available in the redesign but it is a work in progress. Site admin is not finished implementing everything. There are some major pieces of the redesign still undone and some of the things they add don't always work as intended right off the bat. As they add on new functionality, we'll give it a try.

Subreddit Growth - We just hit 300 thousand subscribers! Last year we were at 75 thousand. Thank you for hanging out with us and joining in the discussion.

Welcome to the weekly r/Nutrition feature post for personal circumstance questions and diet evaluation requests. Wondering if you are eating too much of something, not enough of something, or if what you regularly eat has the nutritional content you want or need? Ask here.

Rules for Questions

  • Nutrition related questions about your specific diet may be asked. However, before asking, please remember to check the FAQ first and see if it has already been covered in the subreddit.

  • You MAY NOT ask for advice as to how a nutritional choice would impact a specific medial condition. Consult a professional.

  • If you do not get an answer here, you still may not create a post about it. Not having an answer does not give you an exception to the Personal Nutrition posting rule.

Rules for Responders

  • Support your claims - Where applicable ALL responses should support any claims made by including links to science based evidence / studies / data. Need to find the evidence and track down primary sources? Try looking for information at PubMed or Google Scholar. Other sources of nutrition information can be found at the USDA Food Composition Database, NutritionData, Nutrition Journal, and Nutrition.gov (a service of the National Agricultural Library).

  • Keep it civil - Converse WITH the other person rather than conversing ABOUT the other person. If you disagree about the science, the source(s), or the interpretation(s) then do so civilly. Any personal attacks will be removed and may lead to a ban. Let moderators know of these kinds of issues by using the report button below any comments containing personal attacks.

  • Keep it on topic - This subreddit is for discussion about nutrition. Disparaging commentary about others is off topic. Non-nutritional facets of food are even off topic. Off topic comments will be removed. Let moderators know of these kinds of issues by using the report button below any comments which are off topic.

if one was in the situation where they had to get a smoothie (with juice) at a shop, what fruit juice would be the “healthiest” choice in terms of vitamins/nutrients and/or anti inflammatory properties? (pineapple, orange, apple, mango, etc)

Perhaps this is an easy answer for some of you, but are there different types of natural sugars that are better for you? I obviously know the apple is a better choice health wise, but is it because the sugar in it is less bad somehow?

Hi all, I try to eat healthy but of course cannot succeed all the time 100% and so I was wondering if there were any supplements that are recommended to establish a "baseline" of nutrient intake, specifically for women? Are there any specific vitamins/minerals/good stuff that are just so lacking in the common american diet that you'd suggest to supplement? TIA

If you get enough nutrients/fibre from the rest of your diet, does that difference matter at all?

Edit: seems no one wants to answer the answer the question,
