In this episode of the Nutrition Made Simple podcast, host Nicole is joined by Amanda Haar to explore the controversial topic of financial influence on global nutritional guidelines. They discuss how food and pharmaceutical giants like Pepsi, Coke, and Nestlé exert substantial control over these policies, as highlighted by the Noakes Foundation. The conversation focuses on the alarming fact that 95% of the experts who contributed to the 2020 food guidelines had financial ties to such companies, raising serious ethical concerns. The episode also examines the case of dietitian Richard Mates, whose research is backed by major food corporations, and the implications of biased studies on public health. Nicole and Amanda stress the importance of transparency and the need for independent, unbiased research to protect consumers from misleading information. They also touch on the influence of ultra-processed foods, ethical sponsorship in the fitness world, particularly in CrossFit, and provide practical advice for listeners on making informed, healthier choices. This insightful discussion aims to promote awareness and advocate for ethical practices in the nutrition industry.
