In this week's episode join The Broken Science Initiative and Gary Taubes as we discuss the errors pervasive in nutrition research. Taubes and Kaplan talk about how Taubes' groundbreaking research has changed the public's awareness and yet is still met with push back from the media.

The original interview was taped in 2019 for the Empowered Health Podcast with BSI's own Emily Kaplan. Taubes, the renowned author of "Good Calories, Bad Calories," "Why We Get Fat," and "The Case Against Sugar," has undertaken the arduous process of meticulously analyzing the research and scrutinizing every footnote to discern between reliable advice and unsubstantiated claims. Prepare to gain valuable insights from Taubes' and Kaplan's deep dive into the world of scientific literature and their shared quest to separate fact from fiction.

We've worked hard to create show notes, which include a transcript of the episode with links out to all mentioned references allowing listeners to continue learning about Broken Science. A link to this week's show notes can be found on BrokenScience.org/podcasts
