! NOTE !
Like most 'LINKS' pages on the web, there will, no doubt,
be more and more dead links on this page over time.
It may be years at a time before I return to this page to
remove dead links and replace some links with better links.
In the meantime, try 'WEB SEARCH' links provided on this page.

Eat vegetables ... frequently.

This 'food pyramid' is 'BROKEN' because
all the starchy foods are at the base of
the pyramid --- as if they are the
most important foods on which a
healthy diet should be based.
WRONG!

Vegetables, fruits, and protein foods
should be the foundation --- as the
person who marked up this 'classic'
food pyramid was trying to suggest.

That's cookies, candies, and other
junk food at the peak of the pyramid.

It has a search option much like the one at nutritiondata.self.com . Select a food category, then enter a food name and click the search button. NAL = National Agricultural Library) Nutrition Facts data - at nutritiondata.self.com (This site has the standard data of 'Nutrition Facts' food labels, for 1000's of foods. The foods are in categories, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes[peas and beans], meats, nuts-and-seeds, etc. Much more data, such as bar-chart-like images of 'essential proteins' content, data on types of sugars and fats in the foods, moisture content of foods, more precise data than the data on food labels. The food 'Search' at the top of each page can be used to view all foods within a category. To do so, simply select that category and click on the 'Search' button without entering a food name.) Find foods by nutrient - at nutritiondata.self.com/tools/nutrient-search (You can use this page to find foods with highest or lowest concentrations of specific nutrients. For example, generate a list of low-carbohydrate foods, or identify foods from a particular category that are high in protein and low in fat.) Nutrition Facts - at nutritionresource.com/foodcomp.cfm (Here is another site that has copious 'Nutrition Facts' data, by food category.

The fact is that non-fiber carbohydrates, i.e. starches, are long chains of sugars that become unhealthy tri-glycerides in your blood stream. And starchy carbs are not as filling as fats.)

Nutrition - WEB DIRECTORY pages < Go to Table of Contents, above. > < Go to Top of Page, above. > It seems that 'web directories' are dying out. Google and Yahoo closed theirs down around 2014. Then around 2017, the directory from which the Google and Yahoo web-directories were spawned --- the DMOZ "Open Directory Project" closed down. It seems that it is just not feasible for a team of people to keep up with all the sites that are going dead and the new sites that appear. About a year after the dmoz.org site closed down, it appears that a new web-directory site --- curlie.org --- arose from the ashes of 'dmoz.org'. It remains to be seen how long that web-directory lasts. Following are a few links related to 'web directory' sites. Wikipedia List of Web Directories - at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_directories the 'Curlie' web-directory project on NUTRITION RESOURCES - at curlie.org/Health/Nutrition/Resources/ (click on any of the many links on that page --- or try the other categories such as 'Health > Resources') the 'Curlie' web-directory project on NUTRIENTS - at curlie.org/Health/Nutrition/Nutrients/ (click on any of the many links on that page --- or try the other categories such as 'Fiber' or 'Trans Fats' or 'Vitamins and Minerals' --- or try one of the other search engines listed at the bottom of the page) the 'Curlie' web-directory project on NUTRITION - at www.curlie.org/Health/Nutrition/ (try the categories on that page, such as 'Disease Prevention' or 'Genetically Modified Food' or 'School Meals') Rather than depending on any remaining 'web-directory' links, here are some WEB SEARCHES to get you started with 'nutrition' inquiries --- using keywords 'nutrition database', and keywords 'nutrition fruits vegetables', and keywords 'nutrition diet'. Another approach to take: Go to the Wikipedia 'Nutrition' page or the Wikipedia 'Category:Nutrition' page and start following links from that page. Go to Table of Contents, above.
