Nutrition has been a hot topic for decades now, but would you be surprised to hear that we've never quite gotten it right? Our bodies are very complex machines, but new research on how our bodies interact with the food we eat might be shedding some light on which aspects of nutrition we've gotten right and which ones we've gotten wrong.

In today's episode, we talk to Shawn Stevenson, author of Eat Smarter and host of The Model Health Show about what recent research has taught us about eating healthier. Spoilers: a traditional diet is not the answer!
