Nutrition For Mortals

How Nutrition Misinformation Spreads


Listen Later

In nutrition, uncertainty isn’t just common—it’s expected. Science evolves, studies conflict, and context matters. But in the space between “we’re still learning” and “we know for sure,” there’s opportunity—and not always the good kind. Enter a formula that’s been used again and again: highlight the confusion, cast doubt on conventional advice, then sell a clear, confident solution. In this episode, we explore how the natural uncertainty in nutrition science is often weaponized—turning curiosity into fear, and questions into clicks, followers, and sales. So join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we dive into the world (and the formula!) of nutrition misinformation.
