Welcome to the UCC Student Dietitian Podcast, an evidenced-based conversation where we explore all things nutrition through a wide variety of insightful perspectives, ranging from the public to experts in the world of nutrition and dietetics. This podcast is designed by student dietitians for student dietitians. Follow us as we discuss relevant health topics and the latest nutrition concepts circulating in today’s health media. Hope you enjoy it!

Join us as we chat with Clodagh Scannell, a registered dietitian involved in the recent publication of ‘The Truth Behind Food and Cancer’ in response to a recent survey of over 1,000 Irish cancer survivors which reported that more than half (56%) felt confused by nutrition information available and 37% had tried an alternative dietary strategy that may be detrimental for their overall health. In this episode, we ask Clodagh to share her expertise on current myths and misconceptions of food and cancer. Listen to find out  about the newest and strangest fads outlined in the book, and the danger they pose to people living with cancer and undergoing treatment.
