5 – The Science on GMOs and Health

May 17, 2019 By Webmaster

In this episode of the Cancer Dietitian Podcast I review the science on GMOs and health.

Do you wonder what the deal is with GMOs and genetic engineering? Do you wish someone could explain the basics with a level head and without trying to convince you of their perspective?

GMOs are a HEATED topic these days. But it doesn’t have to be!  Grab a coffee, or a beer, and have a listen as Julie does her best to explain what GMOs are and what the current evidence is regarding their effects on our health and the environment. All in 25 minutes, of course!

In typical “Julie style”, this episode is full of the practical, evidence-based nutrition information that you crave. With none of the sensationalism, guilt or pseudoscience. Get your info from the expert!
