How Did Nutrition Misinformation Become So Mainstream?

Leah McGrath, RD, LDN, is a retail dietitian, trusted advisor, &  the founder of BuildUp Dietitians, a community of dietetics professionals and students to share evidence-based information & professional resources. She’s also a voice of reason in the cluttered space of nutrition communications, setting the record straight on Twitter and through her weekly Substack newsletter. 

We discuss:

• Gut health & other food product packaging claims that don’t mean anything
• Gen Z food & nutrition trends and the shifting perception of “healthy eating” in 2023
• Media narratives on food & health and the origins of nutrition misinformation
• Farming practices that actually promote sustainability in our food system 
• The under-discussed topic of sodium in food products & meals consumed outside of the home
• Seed oils, dairy vs. non-dairy milk, olive oil in coffee, probiotic cookies, potato milk (aka, vodka) & the rise of the wellness industry
