What epidemiology teaches us about salt, sugar, and COVID-19

Welcome back to Science is Fun! Don’t forget to hit-up our mailing list and to check out our back catalog.

My guest this week is Dr. Kristin Bibbins-Domingo. Her pioneering studies have used computational simulations to predict the public health implications of changes to diet, including a focus on salt and sugar intake. We discuss how she got into nutrition and some of the controversies around what we should and should not eat. We also discuss her current efforts to address inequalities in the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and recovery.
