SUMMARY:Skeptics in the Pub
DESCRIPTION:Calories and conspiracies: Trust your gut! \nSucked-in by big food and big wellness. Distinguished scientist exposes two massive cons. Award-wining biomedical scientist Associate Professor Gal Winter is set to smash “the politics of the plate” at this month’s Skeptics In the Pub. Dr Winter\, a leader at UNE in her speciality of nutrition\, will deliver a frank and fearless presentation. She will show how we are caught in a tug-of-war between two massive nutritional cons. \nShe said: “On one side\, decades of corporate lobbying gave us the carb-heavy Food Pyramid and the myth of Calories In\, Calories Out\, shifting the blame for chronic disease entirely onto consumer willpower. “On the other side\, today’s billion-dollar supplement industry and ‘wellness’ influencers are cashing in on our broken food system\, selling us expensive powders\, bio-hacks\, and magic pills to fix problems that real food and sensible eating can solve. “I will blow the whistle on the politics of the plate. “We’ll trace the history of nutritional gaslighting – from the sugar industry secretly paying off Harvard scientists in the 1960s\, to the algorithm-driven grifters flogging supplements to us today. “I will unpack the science and look at the actual physiological reality of blood glucose and our microbiome and explore why\, when faced with both Big Food and Big Wellness\, your best defence is to trust no one but your gut.” \ncal wi* Skeptics In The Pub is a volunteer-run community event affiliated with Australian Skeptics Inc which promotes critical thinking\, reason\, logic and the scientific method. \nDoors open at 5.30pm to order drinks and gourmet pizza.
