CARBOHYDRATES
Carbs: when did you become the ennemy?
Sugars, starches, fibre, glucose — what do all of these things have in common?
THE FOOD
What am I
actually eating?
Carbohydrates, protein, fat, sugar, vitamins, supplements — let's take them apart and figure out what's actually going on.
THE IDEA
Food is chemistry, biology and culture all at once.
We talk about food constantly. What is healthy. What is unhealthy. What has too much sugar. What has enough protein.
But before we decide what food is supposed to do, it helps to understand what we're actually eating.
EXPLORE THE FOOD
Start somewhere.
PROTEIN
Protein: when did a nutrient become a buzzword?
Underneath the marketing, I had a much quieter question: what is protein actually doing in my body?
ENERGY
What actually is a calorie?
A unit of energy, a number on a food label, and a concept that gets misunderstood all the time.
FATS
Fat: why were we always so afraid of you?
We cut it, feared it, then put it back in everything from our coffee to our salad. Here's what the evidence actually says.
VITAMINS
Vitamins: do we actually need to think about them this much?
Thirteen vitamins, countless numbers and one big question: what are we actually supposed to do with all of this?
MINERALS
Minerals: the vitamins' quieter cousins.
Vitamins get the spotlight, but minerals are there behind the scenes, playing an equally important role in our health. Let's explore their importance.
