To Eat or Not to Eat

This event is a community partnership event with Lifelong Learning.

Eating has become a confusing experience. Virtually every day bring news about some “miracle food” that we should be gulping down. One day it’s tomatoes to prevent cancer, then flaxseed against heart disease or soybeans for menopause. Then there are the worries: genetic modification, aspartame, MSG, the safety and efficacy of dietary supplements. We need proper science to guide us through this nutritional maze.

Join Joe Schwarcz, director of McGill’s Office for Science and Society, on January 23rd to sort out what’s true and what’s false when it comes to our health! Register here to join online or fill up this form to attend in-person at the Wellness Centre.
