SNACK BREAK: Interpreting Plant-Based Nutrition Research. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Ever heard someone say "well the research says..." and then spout off something that sounds pretty f*ing crazy?
Yeah. Us too.
As much as we'd like to believe that all research is well designed and totally excellent, it's not. So in today's episode we're giving you a few tips for examining research papers. We're also diving into a couple of papers on plant-based nutrition that we thought were pretty interesting. If you like being grounded in facts, we think you'll like this episode.
