EP28 - An Iron-Clad Lie: The Great Spinach Typo

from Half-Truths · host Half-Truths Podcast

We all grew up believing that spinach, the secret to Popeye's strength, was a superfood packed with an unbelievable amount of iron. But what if this cornerstone of nutritional wisdom, this multi-generational parental trick to get kids to eat their greens, was all based on a simple typo from the 19th century? This episode uncovers the surprisingly flimsy truth behind the iron-clad myth.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
