Café Scientifique

Does a healthy diet equal a healthy heart?

What we eat is key for improving global public health. Current estimates suggest that 30% of chronic disease is preventable through dietary change. Despite this, it’s unclear exactly what constitutes a healthy diet and as a result consumers are often confused about what to eat, a situation muddied by misleading media reports.

Overview

What we eat is key for improving global public health. Current estimates suggest that 30% of chronic disease is preventable through dietary change. Despite this, it’s unclear exactly what constitutes a healthy diet and as a result consumers are often confused about what to eat, a situation muddied by misleading media reports. 


Professor Aedin Cassidy is researching the impact of flavonoids, compounds naturally present in fruits and vegetables, on reducing the risk of developing heart disease. Join Professor Cassidy to discuss her research and the latest developments in nutrition as a tool for improving public health.
