Nutrition Myths: Science, Scams, and Why Your Candy Bar Won't Kill You
Speaker Jure Marjetic
As a certified FZS (Slovenian fitness organization) nutrition advisor and sports enthusiast, I’d love to tackle the widespread misinformation about diets and healthy eating. This presentation will debunk common myths, explore the science behind nutrition, and offer practical tips for making smarter food choices, all in a lively, interactive format with opportunities for audience engagement and Q&A. Blending evidence-based research with a playful, down-to-earth approach, I aim to show how emotions, marketing, and culture often shape our views on food more than science does. Whether you’re a health enthusiast, a skeptic, or just someone tired of being told your candy bar will kill you, this session is designed to leave you better informed and maybe smiling a little more about what’s really on your plate.
This talk will take place on the first floor of the Student Centre for Life, room 1.24 / 1.25
