| 0:00.0 | Is drinking raw milk safe like RFK Jr. suggests? Can you reduce a glucose spike if you eat your food in, quote, unquote, the right order? I'm registered dietitian Abby Sharp. I host a nutrition myth-busting podcast called Bite Back with Abby Sharp. And those are just some of the questions I tackle with qualified experts on my show. |
| 0:21.4 | There is so much food misinformation and disinformation out there, and it can feel impossible |
| 0:27.9 | to know what's real and what's BS. |
| 0:30.7 | On Biteback, my goal is to help listeners create a pleasurable relationship with food, |
| 0:35.3 | their body, and themselves, which in my opinion is the |

| 1:53.3 | think we actually understand why it's such a big deal and what can actually happen. Her story is |
| 2:00.2 | absolutely incredible and it is amazing that she has |
| 2:04.5 | been open in sharing it on so many different platforms. It is incredibly difficult to tell the story |
| 2:11.2 | over and over again, but she does because she knows the impact that it has on parents who are listening. |
| 2:18.5 | She knows that by telling her daughter's story, she can prevent it from happening to someone else. |
| 2:24.9 | Leslie is now a child safety advocate. |
