The Rational View podcast with Dr. Al Scott

Intro to the science behind nutrition


Listen Later

In this episode I’m hoping to start a new investigation into the science behind nutrition and food science. Many of us have heard the messages from our doctors that we need to cut back on our high sodium diets and we need to avoid fat and red meat to prevent heart disease. We’ve been told that sugar is bad for us. Processed foods are bad for us. Alcohol is bad for us. We need to eat more fruit and vegetables. We need to eat more fiber.

Western society is now in the midst of an obesity epidemic. Are we getting good nutritional advice? What does the science say?
