Current Nutritional Controversies- What is the Science Behind the Current Trends in Mainstream Media?
Guest: Professor Christopher Gardner, Ph.D.
Host: Kyla Lara-Breitinger, M.D.
From the perspective of both mainstream and social media, it can often seem that there is more controversy than consensus about nutrition topics such as seed oils and ultra processed foods. To the contrary, Christopher Gardner, a nutrition scientist and professor of medicine at Stanford University finds just the opposite, that there is more consensus. However, recognizing the consensus requires providing important context for nutrition issues – in particular, with what, and instead of what. Once that context is provided, many of the topics with seemingly intractable disagreements like seed oils and ultra processed foods can be addressed from a more pragmatic perspective that can help us all to follow a more cardioprotective dietary pattern that leads to longevity and an increased health span. Join us as Professor Gardner addresses these topics with a uniquely engaging blend of humor and evidence-based science on this week’s podcast.
Topics Discussed:
- Discuss beef tallow vs. seed oil controversy.
- How did ultraprocessed foods become a dominant food source and how to win the battle against it?
- Keeping it simple and pragmatic for daily life- how do we follow a cardioprotective pattern that leads to longevity and increased health span?
