Messaging harms of organic promotion

Dan Feldman returns for a masterclass in evidence-based nutrition, covering two of the most debated topics in modern health conversations: gluten intolerance and organic foods.

Dan is a trusted voice in evidence-based nutrition media and practice, and in this episode he joins Andrew to break down what the research actually says — without fear-mongering, food moralizing, or ideology.

THIS EPISODE COVERS:
