Understanding the Nuances Behind “Good and Bad” Macronutrients

If you’ve navigated nutritional information online, you’ve quickly noticed some people labelling food ingredients or nutrients good or bad. 

Unfortunately, that’s not the way food works. Some nutrients are health promoting while other nutrients are disease promoting. But there are a lot of nuances to consider before making such bold statements.

In this episode, we will cover the important details that make certain nutrients “good” and other nutrients “bad”. We’ll talk about good fats and bad fats, good carbs and bad carbs as well as if plant protein is superior to animal protein.
