So I feel like sometimes on the show we harp a lot on the problems with nutrition research and how it's led us astray many times

Definitely covered that a time or two well today I thought we should actually spend some time in talking about what nutrition research has actually gotten right in the past couple decades.

And to do so I think why don't we find the most quoted nutrition scientists on the planet?

So you know, do you remember when we had Ben Bergeron?

He actually came in the studio.

Okay, so I learned to phrase that day that you were fan-girling all over the place.

So you've taught me so much, I'm going to take on, I think this works.

Can I be a fan boy?

Yes, yes, you're a fan boy. Then I am a fan boy? Yes, you're a fan boy.

Then I am a fan boy for Professor Walter Willish.

I've known Walter for 20 years professionally.

He is always such a gentleman, amazingly generous with his time, and unbelievably productive.

He is published.

I think it's over 2,000 articles.

You know, I have not read,000 articles in my entire life and that's how many

I know and for those of you that have been listening since day one

Walter was actually in one of our first ever episodes and the episode sounded so

different then and we would have like two or three guests per episode it was just

like a very different format but I remember like it was at Eddie's conference and

Eddie introduced me and then I think I like pulled him into like some

back room somewhere to try to record it was quiet. It was quiet. It was a quiet backroom and I was like,

oh can you answer this question? I think I asked no question about potatoes. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
