The Health Halo — Daily Dose 005

The food industry has spent decades perfecting the art of making unhealthy food look healthy. One buzzword on the front of a packet: organic, plant-based, gluten-free — and your brain automatically assumes the whole product is good for you.Scientists call it the Health Halo Effect, and it's one of the most powerful marketing tools ever invented. Today on Daily Dose I break down exactly how it works, the specific words to watch out for, and how to read a food label the way a scientist does. Plus a major new study on loneliness and memory that has a surprising twist, and the collagen conversation the supplement industry doesn't want you having, because it turns out collagen alone isn't enough, and the science now shows exactly why.Simple science, real news, no hype.
