When it comes to comparing vegan and omnivorous diets, there's more to the story than just looking at isolated nutrients. In this clip, the way we study dietary patterns in nutrition research is put under the microscope.

Christopher Gardner explores the limitations of outdated research methods that focus on single variables, arguing that they don't paint a complete picture of how people really eat.
