5 things I would never do as a dietitian - Part 2 #shorts

Me: buying himalayan salt just because it's pink😃

The "avoiding" GMO thing is so wild nearly every single fruit or vegetable has been altered in some way to make them look more "appealing" for consumption. Wild fruits are good, but they look considerably different than their supermarket counterparts. So unless people want to avoid eating nearly every fruit and vegetable ever, I suggest they get over it.

On the dirty dozen, I don't follow it, but I have found that my body (I have an autoimmune disorder and IBS) reacts poorly to wines and grapes from North America, but not anywhere else. I've even tried wine from imported grapes with the same
results and increased symptoms, so I am wondering if it's something in the soil/preparation. There's plenty of good wines from South America and Europe though, so I'm not missing out. It's just an odd observation that I figured out through my elimination diet phase. Fun times.

Personally my problem with GMO’s is not that they are “unhealthy” but that they promote monoculture and are usually made so farmers cannot save seeds and have to buy them from big companies year after year. I try to buy local as much as possible and really the only things that I miss and splurge on occasionally are sweet corn and seedless grapes

I feel so validated because I was always suspicious of these health trends. and I am so appreciative of this sensible voice! Please keep posting, you have seriously made healthier eating approachable!

Could you please do some sort of video on portioning, I would love to hear your opinion

Well some studies show that sweet ones have higher concentration of beneficial compounds and oxidation in the blood is different after eating regular ones, I prefer purple ones. Again this is speaking from a high antioxidant diet perspective to be honest and organic are much better for more than just health reasons. Again we are all human, so yeah to each their own

omg thank you for the gmo one!! as the kid of a food chemist and now a med student myself, I've been fortunate enough to have a liking for this type of discussion and the means to get credible answers and seeing people speak facts makes me happy =))))
also, the salt one: go for iodine salt! your thyroid will thank you

[steelegoldman]

I would love to hear you elaborate on your opinion on organic groceries. Low key shook me when you said that

Salt for me is taste. I like Celtic sea salt over white processed salt.

[alliesmom]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Voice of reason!!

[warishakhan]

I just wanted to say that you have gorgeous hair! ❤️

[sarakhan]

I feel so relax when I listen to your advices. sometimes it's tough to teach our clients the basics cause they are so tempted by these fancy things.

[Mogardie]

This is one of the best nutrition channels out there IMO. All the advice is 🔥

[UncleMusclzHour]

You’re awesome!! Unbiased and speaking the truth!!!

Organic, at least in my country, means certain things like harmful pesticides weren't used and animals were treated better... So that's why I prefer organic. Idk what the US classifies as organic

[Paminazar]

Love these! Put the subtitles a little higher so they don’t get covered by the subscript though please 🙏🏼

[twinzzzzyyyy]

I wish you were my dietitian! I absolutely adore how realistic and educated you are 🥺

[BlondeQtie]

i avoid gmo, not for health reasons, but for the farmers that get scammed…

[AutumnS]

You should elaborate more on all of these points. Can you, please? Ive so many questions.

[KittykatNY]

You're so informative and relatable! Thank you for not making me feel guilty about not buying organic or liking white potatoes ❤
