IDEA World Nutrition and Behavior Change Summit – Translating Today’s Nutrition Science for Your Clients

The dynamic nature of research dictates that it doesn’t ever settle. It continues to layer, sometimes breaking down yesterday’s “truths” in the process. There is no right or wrong study, but there are often misleading interpretations of research. From confusion over the hundreds of new studies on sugar and fat, to the promise of research on nutrition helping chronic pain and inflammation, to overhyped studies on superfoods, Examine.com’s editor-in-chief brings us up to date with a clear look at today’s nutrition literature.
