"We are also responsible for what we eat" (08/06/2017)

This is one of the most important messages that the creator of the blogScientia, Jose Manuel López Nicolás, professor of Molecular Biology and coordinator of the Unit of Scientific Culture of the University of Murcia, launched to the attendees of the talk ¿We know what we eat? , Given last Tuesday in a room of Cultural Scope of El Corte Inglés

In the same, José Manuel López Nicolás showed his enthusiastic profile and gave knowledge to all his countrymen, crowded standing at the end of the room, who endured stoically for more than two hours, learning how we can behave before the new wave of products "Natural" and loaded with labels that invade the market today.

Its objective: to tell what is behind all the products we consume daily and to uncover many of the myths, leaving in silence the attendants, so that with all the information they are able to decide what to eat or not without being deceived.

Thus, he revealed secrets about what is behind the packaging of everyday products such as milk, energy drinks or potitos ... and showed that most of the time we do not know what we consume.

A talk focused on two factors, on the one hand, the fear that the bad marketing trends of large companies infuse the consumer through the chemophobia of the feared transgenic foods, dyes or preservatives.

And on the other hand, as they themselves 'tease us' through ingenious creative work and a lot of face, before an advertising campaign against the 'crap' that has turned against them.

He also advised attendees what steps they can take if they wish to improve their diet, bringing them closer to new nutritional pillars such as the Australian food pyramid, which replaces a base consisting of bread and cereals in a focus on fruit and vegetables, the true Our diet.

The Harvard dish was the other option, showing that vegetables should make up half of our daily food.

In short, showed that many products that we consider 'healthy' are not only harmful to our pocket, but also to our health.

This conference is in addition to the almost one hundred conferences that José Manuel López Nicolás grants each year.

The passion he transmits is his hallmark, with which he overturned his audience, desirous of debating with one of the great disseminators of the national scene, in a question time he went on until the closing of the establishment, coming to claim that he transmitted " All his wisdom from square to square. "

If you missed it, you can find much more information in his book We are going to buy lies (Calamo).

This cycle will continue from the month of September, with a set of monthly conferences that promise to be equally successful, always hand in hand with the Scientific Culture Unit.
