Nina Teicholz – ‘Why Nutrition Advice is So Wrong’

Nina Teicholz is a New York Times bestselling investigative science journalist who has played a pivotal role in challenging the conventional wisdom on dietary fat. Her groundbreaking work, 'The Big Fat Surprise', which The Economist named as the #1 science book of 2014, has led to a profound rethinking on whether we have been wrong to think that fat, including saturated fat, causes disease.

Nina continues to explore the political, institutional, and industry forces that prevent better thinking on issues related to nutrition and science. She has been published in the New York Times, the New Yorker, the British Medical Journal, Gourmet, the Los Angeles Times and many other outlets.

Correction to the video: The 7th Day Adventists generally do not teach that veganism is required for salvation; instead, most Adventists churches teach that a vegan diet is the healthiest and prioritise outreach through health/nutrition programs as a strategy for evangelism, i.e., spreading the faith.
