Misinformation is an ongoing occurrence in online nutrition conversations. The capacity to spread misinformation to huge audiences is only a few clicks away, and many laypeople aren’t equipped to accurately evaluate these claims. Similarly, there are many instances where ideology may influence people to ignore the evidence. Dr Alan Flanagan joins me today to discuss this in the context of dairy.
Alan Flanagan, PhD is a researcher and science-based nutrition educator. He is also the founder of Alinea Nutrition, an online education hub dedicated to providing impartial, science-based nutrition analysis. With an extensive nutrition background and a PhD focus on meal timing and behaviours, Dr Flanagan is very well positioned to shine a light on the nutrition landscape.
In this episode, we have a broader conversation about misinformation and public health before specifically examining dairy. We discuss whether you can trust industry-funded studies, the representation of dairy on social media, and how much information we actually have.

Despite my personal diet choices, I believe it is important to also consider foods with an objective, nutrition-focused lens. There are strong ethical and environmental reasons to exclude animal products from your diet, but developing a cohesive understanding means people can be healthier and feel more empowered in their food choices. Dr Alan Flanagan provides an excellent space to do so in today’s episode.
