As a society we are bombarded from many sources on a variety of health issues.  There are endless books, magazines, media coverage, political initiatives, research papers, weight loss programmes usually endorsed by celebrities, and general fads and formulas.  The public ends up being buried in an avalanche of statistics, opinions, claims and counter claims and most people are simply confused about who to believe and what to do.

For several years now Colin McKeand has been separating the facts from the myths when it comes to health, diet and nutrition.  Colin is the senior partner with Nutri-Tox, Corporate and Personal Diet & Nutrition Specialists.  His mission is to ensure that the public are educated in the correct way and are getting the proper information and message as to what a healthy diet and lifestyle really is.

Our website will be regularly updated to include news articles that we believe will be of interest to our clients. If you spot an article that you think would be of interest to others please send me an email with the details to: colin@nutri-tox.com

Colin was delighted to be invited to take part in a health and wellbeing day for the staff of The Jewel & Esk College, Edinburgh.  He was asked to deliver a talk on healthy eating and dispel some of the many myths about which foods really are good or bad for you.

Nutri-Tox also set up a stand, and Colin spoke with people on a one to one basis and handed out nutritional information.  He was very encouraged by the interest shown and enjoyed the day.

Visit to Nairn's Oatcakes Factory

Following a personal invite from Mark Laing, MD at Nairns, Colin McKeand from Nutri-Tox was given a guided tour of the factory at Peffermill Road, Edinburgh.  He saw first hand the whole manufacturing process from preparation and mixing right through to the finished products leaving the premises. 

Colin was delighted with his visit and is pleased to be associated with The Nairn's brand.  He recommends their range of oatcakes and biscuits because they are made from wholegrain oats, are GM free, wheat free and hydrogenated fat free.  He enjoys eating the products most days.
