Can We Trust The Science Of Nutrition?

Professor Brian Cox and our expert panel dive into the complex world of diet, nutrition and food choices.  With new probiotic and high-protein products appearing on supermarket shelves every day and conflicting nutritional advice coming from every direction, it’s difficult to cut through the noise when it comes to what we eat.  Our panel uses expertise from their roles as nutritionists, geneticists, gastroenterologists and policymakers to answer audience questions about food advertising, wellness advice, and whether it’s really possible – or worthwhile – to avoid food ‘additives’.   Panellists  Giles Yeo – Professor of Molecular Neuroendocrinology, MRC Metabolic Diseases Unit, University of Cambridge Christina Vogel – Professor in Food Policy and Director of the Centre for Food Policy, City St George’s, University of London Saliha Mahmood Ahmed – Gastroenterologist and MasterChef winner, 2017 Nita Forouhi – Professor of Population Health and Nutrition, MRC Epidemiology Unit, University of Cambridge  Watch the video version of this episode and read a transcript on our website: www.crick.ac.uk/podcast/nutrition   A BBC Studios Production for the Francis Crick Institute.    © BBC Studios / Francis Crick Institute 2025 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
