Yesterday’s and tomorrow's diets. How to survive fake news?
What we eat influences our health – science takes it for granted. But experts are still debating on what kind of food behavior is most effective for being healthy and living longer. The science of nutrition is young, and communication in this field is fast and often too synthetic and simplistic. This is how food beliefs are spreading among people and offering simple solutions, based on the common desire to live healthy (and possibly skinny) for a long time. The trick generally starts from a minimal scientific theory, that often is unconfirmed and very well publicized. We therefore need tools to defend ourselves from fake news – we need to be more informed hoping for a future without diets that do not have scientific basis.
