"Nutrition is messy and confusing...there's a reason for that" - Dr Tim Crowe

In this episode, Tara interviews Dr Tim Crowe - scientist, researcher, dietitian and educator. As the head honcho of Thinking Nutrition, Tim has a knack for breaking sciency stuff down into easy-to-understand info that you can take away and use to make positive changes for your health.

To help us understand how to know when nutrition info is nonsense, Tim talks us through the basics of:

• How nutrition studies work 
• How the media sometimes misinterpret studies and create headlines that aren't factual
• Why nutrition is so darned confusing sometimes 
• How to spot nonsense

He also touches on:

• Sugar in fruit
• Blue zone dietary patterns
• The Game Changers Documentary
• The acid/alkaline diet and whether lemon in water will 'detox' us. 

Tim has also just released his brand new podcast, Thinking Nutrition - a must-listen for anyone who would like to soak up more of Tim's wisdom. His first episode delves deeper into some of the issues presented here in this podcast, and Tim discusses some of the latest research. The Thinking Nutrition podcast is available wherever you get your podcasts from, just search 'Thinking Nutrition'
