Eating has become a confusing experience. Virtually every day brings 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.
This will be a hybrid session. To register please contact Anaïs Fortin-Maltais at afortinmaltais@
