Episode notes

The burden of proof study for vegetables was similar. Almost every outcome was considered no or weak association. There was only one association that was moderate and that was for type 2 diabetes. So why not apply that same logic to vegetables? You know, if you're supporting say the burden of proof finding and say, well, you know, vegetables, they might help with type 2 diabetes, but they aren't going to help with anything else. That's essentially what I mean.

Episode #268. Ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice? In this episode, I sit down with Dr Matthew Nagra, a naturopathic doctor with a passion for plant-based nutrition. Together, we debunk common nutrition myths and bring clarity to some hot topics. Dr Nagra's evidence-based perspective will guide you through the noise, helping you make informed dietary decisions. From understanding biases to breaking down the facts about phytates and gluten, you’ll be better equipped to navigate the nutrition landscape with more clarity and confidence.
