The Food Industry Wants the Public Confused About Nutrition

The â??Fairness Doctrineâ? example shows to what extent the purveyors of unhealthy products will go to keep the truth from the American public.

The trans fat story is an excellent example of this, which I just did two videos about, Controversy Over the Trans Fat Ban (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/contr...) and Banning Trans Fat in Processed Foods but Not Animal Fat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Banni...).

Isnâ??t that Fairness Doctrine example amazing? Just goes to show how powerful the truth can be. If you want to support my efforts to spread evidence-based nutrition you can donate to our 501c3 nonprofit here (https://nutritionfacts.org/donate/), and support Balanced (https://balanced.org/), an ally organization NutritionFacts.org helped launch to put this evidence into practice.
