This week Laura + Alan Flanagan, aka The Nutritional Advocate, dismantle a whole load of stuff that bloggers and influencers have been saying.  In this episode they discuss: ✨ The need to be sceptical of n=1 anecdotal evidence that pops up A LOT on social media + blogs ✨ The dumbf**kery of the carnivore diet ✨ The problems with conflating moral considerations with nutritional benefits when it comes to dairy ✨ The bizarre claim that gluten is "better" in Europe than America ✨ How the nocebo effect is a real thing ✨ Prolonged fasting + how it's so damn dangerous!
