What about the sugar?
Are gluten and lactose dangerous?
What about the additives?
Are functional foods or food supplements useful?
The conference "Do we know the ones we eat?"
Aims to give answers to those usual questions that arise when we go to a supermarket.
José Manuel López Nicolás, Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Murcia and creator of the scientific dissemination blogScientia, will be in charge of putting an end to our uncertainty when buying next June 6 at 19:30 hours in The Cultural Room of El Corte Inglés.
The aim of the rapporteur is not to determine what we should buy or not.
López Nicolás seeks to "tell what science says about the effectiveness and safety of famous products so that, with all the information in hand, attendees can decide which option to choose from the many offered by the market."
In addition, during the talk will propose a series of urgent actions that should be implemented by different groups, public and private, so that citizens can be sure that they are not being deceived when they go to their shopping centers.
Thus inaugurates the Unit of Scientific Culture a new stage with a set of conferences so that the University and the Scientific Culture shake hands.
Following the success of 'The Language of Science', lecture given by José Orihuela on May 2, 'Do we know what we eat?'
And José Manuel López Nicolás will follow in their footsteps in the way of disclosure.
