Fearmongering in the nutrition space

The term “fearmongering” is thrown around a lot lately in the nutrition space. Sometimes it is used by the media to captivate attention, sometimes by the food industry to deter a critical eye, and sometimes even by colleagues to support their beliefs.

A bit of skepticism and wariness are healthy when looking at policies and ingredients, but too much fear is a problem.

Let’s discuss, calmly, the issues at hand so that we can make the most informed decisions for ourselves!
