What are Macronutrients?

December 13, 2023 By Anna

Nutrients. Many of us think about them regularly. Either because you try to be mindful of what you eat or maybe because you are even trying to avoid eating specific nutrients. However, it is also very possible that you have only heard of nutrients but aren’t sure what they are. Whichever is the case, you […]

What are Micronutrients?

September 29, 2023 By Anna

Food is delicious and fun to eat. But the main reason we eat is not pleasure. It is to make sure that our bodies get the necessary nutrients so they can function optimally. Most of our diet comprises of large amounts of macronutrients such as fat, carbohydrates, protein, and water. But we also need small […]

One of the best things about being alive in this time period is that we can learn anything about everything. As long as you can read, you have access to all the knowledge in the world. Do you want to know how cheese puffs are made? No problem; you can look that up. Are you interested in how a rocket is launched? That one is a bit more complicated, but the internet will get you there if you really want to know.

Being able to find information online on whatever you are curious about has a downside. Having access to such a large amount of information makes it challenging to figure out what information is reliable. To give you an example, anyone can create content that offers you an explanation of why beer tastes bitter. However, you have no idea if they created it while they were drunk and having a laugh or while they are doing their PhD on the subject. (In case you are wondering: yes, there are scientists studying beer flavours.) Before you can decide if the information you found is of use to you, you need to determine the reliability of any information. You need to know if the source is reliable and if you are interpreting the given information correctly. And this is where Truthful Science comes in.

Here at Truthful Science, we create reliable content that helps you better understand scientific concepts. We will also help you evaluate the reliability of other information that is offered to you. We do this by exploring the science behind Food Science and Nutrition and discussing the fundamentals from several fields of study, such as chemistry and biology. By learning more about core concepts and how to approach them, you will assess new information critically and scientifically.
So let’s get started! Check out our articles page and our video page or visit our [channel] to learn more! You can make sure you don’t miss out on any of our new articles and videos, and follow us on social media!
