Health food trends are often just that—a trend. Not all healthy claims are actually based in scientific evidence, so you should tread carefully next time you’re reading about the latest fad diet. Join Hank Green for a new episode of SciShow where he unpacks some of these health food claims and if they’re actually good for you!
SciShow has a spinoff podcast! It’s called SciShow Tangents. Check it out at http://www.scishowtangents.org
