The Proof with Simon Hill

CHAPTER

The Importance of Accepting Holes in Nutrition Science

Dean Obeidallah: I think it's incredibly important to be able to accept that there are some holes in nutrition science. By keeping tabs on ultra-processed foods, we can better convert the omega-3s in foods like walnuts, cheater and flax into DHA and EPA. The more of this food that we eat, the more omega-6s we tend to get in our diet. He says regular consumption of fermented foods lowers inflammation which underpins chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's dementia.
