INGREDIENTS:
What does that ingredient on your label actually do in your body, and why is TikTok so mad about it?
On Ingredients, we pick one nutrient or ingredient at a time and unpack it from every angle: biochemistry, physiology, public health, and the social media discourse that shapes how we feel about food.
Hosted by Susana, a registered dietitian, and MJ, a public health person, this podcast is where evidence meets everyday eating, and nutrition trends get a much-needed reality check.
