I admit.

I'm a Twitter junkie.

I'm constantly skewering my favorite and most useful fitness and nutrition articles, research and resources and posting them to the Ben Greenfield Twitter account. From shattering exercise myths to releasing news flashes on new dietary aids to tweeting the latest on anti-aging, I do my best to keep you informed on everything fitness, nutrition and anti-aging related so you can cut through the clutter and confusion, avoiding having to follow a thousand different people on Twitter, and instead use my Twitter feed as a bit of an “aggregate” for keeping yourself up-to-date on the latest and greatest in all things wellness.

But today, I want to give you the past year's “Top 100 Most Popular Tweets” – the creme de la creme of what I posted. There are plenty of fun and interesting articles and takeaways you'll find as you scan the tweets below.

I make every possible attempt to give you information you're not going to find other places, and provide non-run-of-the-mill advice, so, ranked in order of popularity, here are this past year's most popular tweets (and click here if you want to follow me on Twitter).
