About this leqture:
Are superfoods real? Is intermittent fasting healthy? Should we eat more eggs? Is milk a healthy drink? Is breakfast the most important meal of the day? Why is there so much confusion about which foods are healthy? Does the science about what is healthy really change every year? Liesbeth separates facts from fiction in the confusing world of nutrition and shows you how misinformation and pseudoscience can spread. Join Liesbeth in this session and find out if we should blame scientists, the media, or influencers and learn what you can do to live healthier.
