LU 061: Alan Levinovitz, Ph.D. – The religious roots of modern food fears & "The Nocebo Effect".

Summary: Today's guest is Alan Levinovitz from Charlottesville, Virginia. Alan is an assistant professor of religion at James Madison University, and one of his academic interests lies in the intersection of religion and medicine. We talk about the connection between religion and our culture’s obsession with "attaching morality and miracle powers" to various foods, "The Nocebo Effect", and about the groundless hysteria around carbs and gluten.
