Studies claim that the food industry is guilty of rebelling against us for our “sophisticated nutritional wisdom.”

A new study claims that people have the ability to choose the best diet for their health, called “nutritional wisdom.” But the food industry is clearly ruining our innate food choices.

Studies claim that humans have “amazing” nutritional intelligence. We not only eat calories, but also instinctively look for various vitamins and minerals and have the nutritional wisdom to avoid undernourishment.

An international study led by the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom has been published in the journal. appetiteGives new weight to the infamous study conducted by American pediatrician Dr. Clara Davis in the 1930s. Here, a group of 15 babies was able to “self-select”, or eat what they liked, from 33 different foods. No child ate the same combination of foods, but all achieved and maintained good health. This was considered evidence of “nutritional wisdom.”

The findings were later scrutinized and criticized. However, today, such baby experiments are considered unethical and the study could not be reproduced. As a result, almost a century has passed since scientists sought to find evidence of human nutritional wisdom. This ability is also found in other animals such as sheep and rodents.

To overcome these barriers, Jeff Blancstrom, a professor of psychology at the University of Bristol, and his team measure preferences by showing people images of different fruit and vegetable combinations, endangering health and well-being. We have developed a new method that allows you to analyze your choices without exposing them to.
