Hello. Many of you have read my columns in the active.com newsletters, so you might be familiar with my work. I'm excited to extend my "take" on the world of fitness and nutrition to the active.com audience. I know that many of you are nutrition and exercise aficionados so I will be extra careful about what I post in this blog. Mostly, I will try to let you see what I see, give you access to information from my network of experts; show you products that I think are worthy of your attention; and share with you my satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the general world of health.

Just in case you have not read my bio, and this is the first time your seeing my name and wondering "who is this guy, and what can he tell ‘me' about nutrition and fitness" -here you go: my name is Charles Stuart Platkin, I'm the founder of DietDetective.com, I have a syndicated column that's in more than 165 daily papers, I've also written 5 books on health and behavior. As far as academic background: I received my undergraduate degree from Cornell University, a Juris Doctorate from Fordham University, and a Masters in Public Health from Florida International University. I'm also a certified personal trainer and I'm currently completing my Ph.D. in Public Health. . This blog will not always be fancy or well written: It will be from my mind, to keyboard, to computer. There might be typos, grammatical errors, and run on sentences. But that's fine, because I know you'll get the ultimate point. You can always reach me by emailing me at info +AT +DietDetective.com

Thanks again for giving me your attention and trust, I will do my best to take good care.

Stay well,

Diet Detective
