Food Politics Taken Too Far — With Nina Teicholz

About this episode

Nina Teicholz discusses the dangers of widely accepted nutrition myths and the flawed science behind dietary guidelines.

What if the most dangerous nutrition myth… is the one you still believe? Nina Teicholz has been called a threat to public health, not because she’s wrong, but because she might be right. A Stanford- and Oxford-trained researcher, she exposed how decades of dietary guidelines were built on shaky science, and how we were told to fear the very foods that may heal us: saturated fat, red meat and real whole foods. If you’ve ever questioned seed oils, low-fat diets, or what’s really behind the rise in chronic disease, this episode will change how you eat, think, and live.
