Wow. This is quite an essay and not what some might have expected: Read This, Not That: The Hidden Cost of Nutrition Misinformation—Asterisk (asteriskmag.com)
There are reasons that Stephan J. Guyenet, Ph. D., is one of the few people in the nutrition field I continue to follow; he wrote the above column. He’s not a nutritionist but a neuroscientist who has done much working on the connections between our brain and our eating issues.
We are flooded with nutrition misinformation from experts to the media (most of it), social media to influencers – most of it is misleading, poorly supported, inconsistent, often contradictory and sometimes dangerous. As Gueynet notes, this causes many to lose confidence not just in nutrition but science in general.
