Make America Healthy Again: Toxic Food or Toxic Information? | Dr Jessica Knurick

💬 “[MAHA’s] reliance on corrupt scientists and poisonous food additives is really a distraction from the real systemic issues.” ~Jessica Knurick

⚡️ Dr Jessica Knurick has a PhD in nutrition science and takes an evidence-based approach to her role as a dietician. She’s been gaining a lot of attention on social media for her work debunking false health claims, particularly around the Make America Healthy Again movement.

⚡ In this episode Jessica and I discuss the shortcomings of MAHA and why its claims around food dyes, seed oils and toxic chemicals are distracting us from the real issues at hand.

➡︎ Which systemic issues need to be addressed to have a real impact

➡︎  Why baby formula is being demonised and how it’s impacting children and mums

➡︎ How to spot (and avoid) health propaganda
