Description

Are superfoods the key to vibrant health—or just marketing in disguise? In this episode of vpod.ai, we pull back the label and take a deep dive into the science, history, and surprising truth behind one of nutrition’s most overused buzzwords.

You'll discover:

  • The true (and surprising) origin of the term “superfood”
  • Why blueberries, kale, and acai might be good—but not magic
  • The hidden costs of exotic superfoods: economic, social, and environmental
  • Why some “superfood” claims mislead with cherry-picked science
  • How focusing on a single ingredient can create a false sense of security
  • The everyday, affordable foods that deliver true super nutrition
  • Practical tips to build your own balanced, evidence-based “super plate”
  • Where supplements fit in—and when they’re actually needed

Cut through the hype, save your money, and learn how to nourish your body smarter—with knowledge, not trends.
