Episode notes

An analysis from the nurse's health study, which looked specifically at the em fracture risk relative to vegan diets. With calcium and vitam and d supplementation, that was no longer significant. It speaks to me, obviously, that this is possible to achieve adequate levels of these nutrients of interest, am following a diet that does not include dairies.

In Episode #225 I sit down with Alan Flanagan, PhD to discuss the health implications of consuming dairy. We have a broader conversation about misinformation and public health before specifically examining the health outcomes of dairy consumption. We also cover whether you can trust industry-funded studies, the representation of dairy on social media, and how much information we actually have.

Misinformation is an ongoing occurrence in online nutrition conversations. The capacity to spread misinformation to huge audiences is only a few clicks away, and many laypeople aren’t equipped to accurately evaluate these claims. Similarly, there are many instances where ideology may influence people to ignore the evidence. Dr Alan Flanagan joins me today to discuss this in the context of dairy.
