One of the world’s leading scientists reveals why so much of the current advice about food and nutrition is dangerously inaccurate, misleading and often downright wrong.

Is salt really bad for you? Is fish good for you? What about coffee, red meat, or saturated fats? Can pregnant women rely on their doctors advice about what to eat? Does gluten-free food carry any health benefits at all? Do doctors know anything about nutrition?

In the course of research, world-leading geneticist and physician Tim Spector has been shocked to discover how little scientific evidence there is for many of our most deep-rooted ideas about food.

In this talk, he will reveal why almost everything we’ve been told about food is wrong. You will discover the scandalous lack of good science behind many medical and government food recommendations, and how the food industry holds sway over these policies and our choices. These are urgent issues that matter not just for our health as individuals but for the future of the planet.

This talk that will make you question every diet plan, official recommendation, miracle cure or food label we encounter, and encourage you to rethink our whole relationship with food.
