PSA for people who are interested in nutrition and health, and frustrated by the level of BS in the media surrounding these topics: I find the Nutrition Diva podcast to be exceptionally objective and rational. It’s my go to place to check for an informed take on any nutrition claim or question. She does the work of looking up and reading the original research articles, checking if the experiment is well-designed, inference valid, and if the data actually support the claims, a task I normally don’t have time for myself. She is unusually clear on epistemic status (for example, distinguishing between evidence of absence and absence of evidence; articulating uncertainty rather than burying it).  And she doesn’t seem to shy away from taking unpopular stands, if that’s where the data land.
