Why is Nutrition Confusing? - Script
🕑 Added 2019-05-13 12:05:29 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Here's the script for my latest video!
This one took a while to make - honestly what took most deliberation was what to cut out. It could have been an hour if I left all the other points I had in there.
A big point that's missing here is human error & bias and industry influence. However, that's a little messier to talk about and I don't think is very productive. Painting a picture that most science is biased by hubris and industry funding doesn't encourage people to consider what is really true and properly evidenced. i.e. Just because a study on pasta is funded by Barilla doesn't mean it is automatically wrong or not useful in some way. (However, a study funded by Ketoizg00d LLC finding pasta to improve weight loss would be much more interesting than one funded by Barilla)
(Then again, I may talk about this later on.)
Looking forward to any questions or comments.
Also, I really appreciate the support on here. The video itself twice as long as my usual videos but took maybe 4 times the time and effort. The stable support provided on Patreon makes it possible to work on things like this that have unreliable ROI but that I think are worth talking about / could be of use to people. Thank you.

This taught me more about evaluating research than my science degree!
Beyond all the good information about nutrition, It was a really good class on how to properly research scientific papers. It has to go further than just checking data. We have to dig deeper into the context and conflict of interests. It is something rare to see even in academia! Thanks
