We asked plant scientist Jeff Mitchell to help us get to the root of the matter. Got a question that you want us to chew over? Send it to us at BrainsOn.org/contact, and we’ll dig up some answers.

ChatGPT’s (A.I.) nutrition Advice: Should Artificial Intelligence Be Your Coach: The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let’s dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. ChatGPT is getting quite popular, so Jenn wanted to ask it some health and nutrition questions and gave it commands such as “write a healthy menu” to see how its advice compares to her own as a health coach. The information ChatGPT came back with was reasonably decent; however, it is very generalized and doesn’t consider bio-individuality. The advice from artificial intelligence also doesn't support the user in taking action on following its advice. Tune in to learn if you should turn to ChatGPT for health advice.
