About Junko
Expertise
I can answer most questions pertaining to teen health, thought I cannot give medical advice. I can explain medical terminology, describe medical conditions and hopefully help people understand what is going on with their bodies. If I don`t know an answer to a question, being a medical student, I can easily find out the answer since I have many resources I can refer to.

Experience
I am a 4th year medical student.

Question
What are the good choices,and bad choices of food for all teenagers?

Answer
Hi Nita,

Here is a table that very nicely summarizes recommendations for a healthy diet.
http://www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines/dga2005/document/html/chapter2.htm#table...

In general, you want to avoid eating too much fast food, chips, other packaged foods that might have a lot of fat in them, and drinking sodas and other juices that have lots of sugars in them.

I hope this helps.
