What you're about to hear might be completely opposite of everything you've heard before about

nutrition, but I want you to keep an open mind. Chances are if you follow me, it won't be

completely opposite of what you hear from me, but completely opposite from all those

influencers out there on Instagram and TikTok and Facebook and just the internet in

general, to be honest. Today we are doing a whole episode on nutrition myth busting. And I'll be

honest, there were a lot of things that I believe to be true about nutrition before becoming a

registered dietitian because I listened to these popular

nutritionists who are very passionate and charismatic and they just seemed believable.

And it's way more fun to listen to someone like that than to like read a research article,

right?

Today we're talking to the food science babe, Aaron, who is an actual food scientist.

Yes, that's a thing. And she's going to share what the actual science says about common food

and nutrition myths. Welcome back to feeding toddlers made easy.

I'm Casey Barnes, registered dietitian nutritionist, and I'm just thrilled you're here with me today because, God, I love nutrition.

I picked the right career path for myself because I just find this stuff so incredibly interesting, how it impacts

the body, and what the actual science says. Like, how cool is it that we can actually study

these things? I just think it's amazing. So anyway, we are going to talk to the food science babe

in just a second here. Anything that we mention on the podcast, links, discounts, whatever,

that's all at mom knowsnutrition.com forward slash podcast.

Hey, Erin. Welcome to the podcast. Hi. Thanks for having me. I'm so pumped that you're here today

because I really am a nutrition nerd at heart and I feel like we get to nerd out a little bit today.

So will you tell people a little bit about you and what you do?
