From miracle foods to fad diets, and nutritional studies with murky science and shadowy sponsors, it seems that we might never quite know the truth behind what we eat. We talk to Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition and public health at New York University, on demystifying our diets and the tricky politics behind food studies.

Nestle’s new book, Unsavory Truth: How Food Companies Skew the Science of What We Eatis available from Hachette books.

Plus: Tom Clark and Steve Bloomfield on children’s diets
