About this episode

Organic food marketing has led to many to believe that it is superior to non-organic foods; but this is not necessarily the case. 

On this episode, I welcome Dr. Jess Steier and Dr. Andrea Love, hosts of The Unbiased Science Podcast. Dr. Jess has a doctorate in public health with specialization in health policy evaluation and Dr. Andrea has a phD in Immunology and microbiology. They join me to discuss: 

  • Marketing misinformation surrounding organic food
  • The Environmental Working Group (EWG) and biases they hold in education (especially surrounding organic foods)
  • Misconceptions about non-organic and organic foods
