How to Understand All of Nutritional Science – with Marc David

take a big picture look at the field of nutrition:

• It’s the wild west
• It’s a young science – meaning nutrition is still developing, and we still have our training wheels on when it comes to truly understanding the depth of the nutritional process
• Experts disagree – and it’s okay
• For every PhD, there’s an equal and opposite PhD – meaning we will always always always find opposing viewpoints – even when you’re not looking for them
• No field in Science operates with universal agreement – that’s just the way it is. You need to build up your tolerance for disagreement
• Scientists can be very passionate, very religious, and very dogmatic. Scientists are just like you and me – they’re human beings. Be patient with them, love them, thank them for their hard work and their passion, and please don’t be intimidated by them!
