Nutritional Myths-gluten, sweeteners, organic & much more

Lovely Ranganath

ears back the medical professional’s educational

qualification and work experience was considered the

gold standard to evaluate credibility. After the birth of Google,

it is a struggle for the evidence-based practitioner to work

with clients from a foundation built on principles of wisdom,

confidence and integrity. The field of Nutrition & Dietetics

is most hit by quackery. From that friend who managed to

lose 20kgs & has 5000 followers in Instagram to the Licenced

Dietician promoting her grain free products and glorifying the

Paleo or Ketogenic diet to that beautiful actress with a million

followers, posting pictures of her ‘Superfood detox green

smoothie’ - the public is as lost as we are.

Hoping to shed some light to the mayhem, I chose the topic

of Nutritional Myths with the objective of empowering my

colleagues, so they remain critical in their advice and go forth

and support those reaching out to themwith confidence.

I will be covering four topics –

• GLUTEN – Does it impair gut health and reduce fat loss?

• ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS – Is it worse than sugar and does it

initiate an insulin response?

• ORGANIC – Are they healthier?

• IS FASTED CARDIO A GREAT METHOD FOR FAT LOSS?

Under each i will explore - Where did the myth come from?

What gives it credence? Research to refute it & Conclusion.
