The 6 Nutrients Your Body Needs — And the $50 Billion Industry Selling You Fear

Описание: The 6 Nutrients Your Body Needs — And the $50 Billion Industry Selling You Fear

The supplement industry is worth $50 billion. Most of it is built on a fear that isn't real.

In this episode of Dish Decoded, we break down the six basic nutrients your body actually needs — water, vitamins, minerals, protein, fats, and carbs — and then we follow the money trail to find out who turned simple nutrition into a crisis worth billions.

We cover: → The "depleted soil" myth and the study that got misused by supplement companies → How food fortification went from a public health lifesaver to a marketing trick → Why you can't patent a broccoli — and why that matters more than you think → What the FDA actually regulates (and what it doesn't) when it comes to supplements → How to actually read a nutrition label without getting played

This isn't about demonizing supplements. If you have a clinically identified deficiency, they have a place. But for the average person? The answer has always been simpler than the industry wants you to believe.

Welcome to Dish Decoded

You eat it every day. But do you really know what it is?

I'm Drew, and I dig through industry documents, historical archives, and hidden stories to find the truth about what we eat.

On Dish Decoded, I expose the lies, uncover the lost histories, and break down the truth behind what you eat. From the origins of pizza to protein bars, tallow to tonic water. Every dish has a story to tell.

From distant dinners to forgotten food pioneers, I investigate the stories that shaped your plate and the ones that got buried.

Think of me as your food detective. Smart, skeptical, and always curious.
