The truth about big soda companies being in bed with the organizations that are supposed to guide and protect our health has been bubbling up in the news, and today I'm shaking that soda can and popping off the lid. I’m speaking with New York Times consumer health reporter, Anahad O’Connor, who boldly and articulately writes about nutrition, chronic disease, obesity, and the food industry. Anahad’s articles always speak to me and are educating the public from a very big platform (The NYT) about the truth in health and the food industry. Today we're talking about the impact of Big Soda on health and political organizations, the food industry and information manipulation, and what we can all do about it in our own lives so we're not the victims of a system that is catapulting our nation – and with it us and our children – into a crisis of chronic disease. Join me here for a not-to-be-missed conversation.
In this episode we discuss:
- How big food has so much power
- Why different agendas are affecting dietary guidelines
- The power of soda taxes
- Why juice can be just as dangerous as soda
- What a “health halo” is
- How to be your own citizen scientist
- Why Anahad takes a Mediterranean approach to his diet
Anahad's 3 “foods” to always avoid:
- Trans fats
- Added sugars
- Fake ingredients
