Is your food…naked?
Mira Calton, CN and Dr. Jayson Calton describe “naked calories” as, “calories that have had their micronutrients stripped in one way or another.” They’re talking mainly about the processed, factory farmed food that’s so ubiquitous in the standard American diet. In their book, Naked Calories, they take a look at the global pandemic of micronutrient deficiency that our industrial food system has spurred and how we can take control of our plates and our health.
Naked Calories just came out, and the authors were kind enough to offer up a copy for one lucky Eat Drink Better reader! Here’s how you can win:
- Take the Micronutrient Deficiency mini-quiz, and comment here with your results.
- Like us on Facebook, and let us know with a comment here (if you already like us, you can still have an extra entry for this!).
- Follow us on Twitter, and let us know with a comment here (if you already follow us, you can still have an extra entry for this!).
That’s it! We’ll announce our winner on Monday, January 9th, so stay tuned!

I got a score of 9. Not terrible but I know I could use a pointer or two to help me even more!
