Investigating the Science Behind Nutritional Wisdom
Investigative science journalist and New York Times bestselling author NINA TEICHOLZ upends conventional wisdom about nutrition and the flawed science that has led to nutritional guidelines. Based on her New York Times bestselling book and TED Talk The Big Fat Surprise, Teicholz unpacks the weak science, strong personalities, and vested interests in nutritional science and the impacts on healthcare overall.
The Politics of Food
Nutrition is as much about politics as it is about science. DR. NINA TEICHOLZ’s research ultimately confirms that the traditional foods we were told to abandon (meat, cheese, eggs, butter) are safe, and even good for health. For more than half a century, we’ve been told to eat a diet high in grains, low in fat, saturated fat (and cholesterol), but the last two decades of research have led a growing number of scientists to conclude that this diet, despite being rigorously tested, could never be shown to prevent any kind of disease.
In this compelling talk, Teicholz shares why this diet has remained official policy for so long: the roles played by crusading scientists, the food industry, and more.
