Decades of nutritional misguidance, lobbying, and corrupt food policies have only left us more confused when we head to the grocery store.\nToday on The Doctor\u2019s Farmacy, I talk to Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian about Food Compass, a new food rating system aimed to help determine the general healthfulness of different foods and cut through the confusion when it comes to our food choices.\xa0\nDr. Dariush Mozaffarian is a cardiologist, Special Advisor to the Provost, Dean for Policy, and Jean Mayer Professor at the Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy; and Professor of Medicine at Tufts School of Medicine. His work aims to create the science and translation for a food system that is nutritious, equitable, and sustainable.\nDr. Mozaffarian has authored more than 500 scientific publications on dietary priorities for obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, and on evidence-based policy approaches and innovations to reduce diet-related diseases in the US and globally. He has served in numerous advisory roles, and his work has been featured in a wide array of media outlets. Thomson Reuters has named him as one of the World\u2019s Most Influential Scientific Minds.\nThis episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, InsideTracker, Pendulum, and Pique.\nRight now, get 40% off your Cozy Earth sheets.
