The following podcast is a deer media production.

Hey, welcome to the Blond Files podcast.

I'm your host, Aria Laurie, and I'm here to talk all things wellness.

From how to achieve optimal health and wellbeing to the best beauty tips and everything in between,

no topic is off limits.

I know there is so much information out there, so I'm here to help you navigate it all and live your best life.

Thanks for listening. Let's get into it.

You guys, today's episode is so fascinating.

I am talking to Aaron, aka the Food Science Babe, and we are going deep into misconceptions around food,

food labels, organic versus non-organic GMO versus non-GMO, food myths, chemicals,

synthetic ingredients, and so, so much more.

And before we get into it, I'd like to just say that.

If I heard this episode two years ago or even a year ago, I would have gotten defensive.

I was of the eat, real-hole foods only,

natural is better, only eat things you can pronounce.

Gluten has been modified to make us all sick. I was of that camp.

And just to be totally transparent here, I don't normally eat gluten,

and I do like to eat as many whole foods as possible.

And I don't eat processed food much because I like how I feel when I eat a certain way.

But that's not the point of this conversation.

So I just want to make that clear.

Aaron is not here to give diet and nutrition advice.
