Nutritionist Answers Diet Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | WIRED

This could be a whole show. There are so many questions regarding food. A part two would be awesome.

the fact that he talked about girl dinner is hilarious to me lmao

Really appreciate that he just sounds kind, like he wants to be helpful, no condescending crap that so many people have unfortunately learned to brace for when trying to learn about health.

Love the comment on girl dinner, i think its a great idea for people who have problems with preparing meals like with adhd or some physical disabilities, but instead focus on the nutritional contents of the meal!

Wired really finds the most likeable people everytime

Interesting how the blue zones are all near the ocean and all surrounded by nature and hives of physical activity as well. Sounds like there's more than just food to the whole longevity thing.

I think I learn more watching experts on Wired than I ever did when I was in school. Even if it’s a topic I’ve never studied or thought about, I still enjoy learning about it when I watch these videos

I am an RD (Registered Dietitian) and I approve this message! I have a few quibbles (organic does not mean pesticide free) but overall solid info!

Just to echo other comments because I think it's so important: organic does not mean pesticide or herbicide free (it does mean antibiotic free, but there are very strict withdrawal periods following the use of antibiotics and certain medications are outright banned given the potential harm to people if accidently consumed, so this is a moot point). Some organic processes can actually be worse for the environment and soil quality, such as frequent tilling to deal with weeds for example. So it's not so cut and dry. Edited for stupid misspell

organic does not mean "no pesticides" it just uses different pesticides. you should be washing your produce before you eat it organic or not.

It's important to state that the RDA for protein is to prevent malnutrition, not what's optimal. The scientific literature still hasn't really found any connection beetween protein and liver /kidney damage. Also, every macro gets converted to fats and protein is actually the least likely to form adipose tissue.

Give the producer and the team of these series at Wired a raise! They are always killing it! Bravo! 👏👏

Part 2, please! Dr. David Katz was a joy to listen to and so helpful.

I wish I could see some references to articles, especially for protein info. The topic seems very controversial, and this is the first time I encounter someone saying that Americans have twice as much protein as recommended. Most of the content I watched so far claimed the opposite 🤔

I have awful portion control/mgmt. I fail every time… so I fast, which works effectively for me… One size doesn’t fit all; do what works for you whilst sticking to the dietary fundamentals, as beautifully explained by this absolute legend.

Outside of genetics and external factors, it's crazy how many health issues can be avoided with JUST simple diet and exercise. If you broad stroke a lot of health studies and "trends", its always boiled down to those 2 things. Its a pretty duh thing...and yet it's hard for a lot of people (obviously there's a lot of independent factors that contribute to that)

nobody asked, but adding fermented foods such as kefir, genuine kvass or sauerkraut is also very good for you!

This is my favorite episode yet. I have so many questions about nutrition and everyone says different things, but this guy is fantastic and seems trustworthy.

I’m a registered dietitian and enjoyed this video, nutrition is the foundation of good health
