Summary
Denise Minger is one tough cookie. As a health writer and researcher, she has zero patience for dietary dogma and does one heck of a job at beating the tar out of conventional wisdom. Denise just published her book "Death by Food Pyramid: How Shoddy Science, Sketchy Politics and Shady Special Interests Have Ruined Our Health." I think you're really going to like this show.
Before we get to it though, I'd like to ask a quick favor. If you haven't already had the chance to leave a review for the show in iTunes, I would greatly appreciate you taking a few minutes to do so. This helps us get in front of more listeners, help more people get healthier and change the world!Â
On this week's show with Denise you’ll learn:
- A surprising secret behind how the food pyramid was created.
- Why some women gain weight on Paleo.
- How to spot a fraud in nutrition and fitness.
- Why writing a book will ruin your health.
Just because someone has letters after their name does not make them immune to bias. Click to Tweet!
