The Proof with Simon Hill

Is dairy good or bad for us | Dr Alan Flanagan


Listen Later

In Episode #225 I sit down with Alan Flanagan, PhD to discuss the health implications of consuming dairy. We have a broader conversation about misinformation and public health before specifically examining the health outcomes of dairy consumption. We also cover whether you can trust industry-funded studies, the representation of dairy on social media, and how much information we actually have.

Misinformation is an ongoing occurrence in online nutrition conversations. The capacity to spread misinformation to huge audiences is only a few clicks away, and many laypeople aren’t equipped to accurately evaluate these claims. Similarly, there are many instances where ideology may influence people to ignore the evidence. Dr Alan Flanagan joins me today to discuss this in the context of dairy.

Specifically, we cover:

  • Intro (0:00)
  • Why we’re discussing Dairy (2:32)
  • Social Media & Industry Funding (13:22)
  • Cardiovascular Disease (23:40)
  • Dairy Compared to What? (35:58)
  • The PURE Study (52:48)
  • Metabolic Health (1:02:33)
  • Blood Glucose (1:10:32)
  • Weight Gain (1:15:56)
  • Inflammation (1:21:19)
  • Cancer (1:29:24)
  • Acne (1:38:23)
  • Bone Health (1:43:45)
  • Bringing it all Together (1:58:50)
  • Outro (2:02:03)
