From obesity to heart disease, Americans, as a group, are not in good shape, according to our guest. Consumers are frequently bombarded with the mounting number of nutritional trends or “miracle” diets that claim to promote heart health, cause weight loss or reduce the risk of illnesses, but how do we distinguish accurate information from myths? Our guest clarifies popular nutrition hypes and explains how diet affects diseases and other health dangers. We also explore ways physicians can better understand nutrition and promote its value to their patients.
