You Can’t Always Trust Nutrition “Research”…So What CAN You Trust?? | Marion Nestle

Episode 50 | Today, you’re gonna hear from Marion Nestle. Marion is Paulette Goddard Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, Emerita, at New York University. She earned a Ph.D. in molecular biology and an M.P.H. in public health nutrition from the University of California, Berkeley. From 1986-1988, she was senior nutrition policy advisor in the Department of Health and Human Services and editor of the 1988 Surgeon General’s Report on Nutrition and Health. Her research and writing examine scientific and socioeconomic influences on food choice and its consequences, emphasizing the role of food industry marketing. In the episode, Marion shares how researchers’ conflicts of interest cloud their findings, which research we can trust, whether or not “superfoods” have any merit...and more! I honestly could have chatted with Marion for several more hours because I was learning so much. You’re gonna LOVE this episode! Enjoy!!
