Dishin' on Food and Nutrition Myths with Dr. Idz
On this episode of the pod, Jess sits down with Dr. Idz to debunk misinformation about food and nutrition (yep, it's time for school)! The conversation kicks off with a discussion about differences in approaches to food policy and regulation in the US versus the UK and other countries. Next, the two discuss common myths including that seed oils cause inflammation (they don't) and that processed foods are inherently bad for you. This leads into a deeper discussion about processed versus ultraprocessed foods-- and how the bigger issue is the proportion of diet that comprises ultraprocessed foods. The main message is that moderation is key! They discuss ways to spot food-related pseudoscience and fearmongering and protect yourself from falling prey to misinformation on social media. This is a great episode that you do not want to miss!
