Supplements, Superfoods and Scams: Are We Forgetting Real Food?
We are increasingly focussing on individual nutrients: protein, collagen, vitamins, antioxidants, often believing that adding more of these will automatically improve our health. This has led to supplements and superfoods been seen as a normal part of everyday eating. But are we paying enough attention to the overall quality of our diet and the role of real food? This talk explores why whole foods and dietary patterns matter more than chasing single nutrients, and examines the evidence behind supplements, health halos and popular nutrition trends.
