The Fundació Alícia, a culinary research laboratory led by journalist Toni Massanés, is working to improve societal eating habits through science-based dissemination. During a recent event organized by the Acadèmia Catalana de Gastronomia i Nutrició (ACGN), professionals addressed common misconceptions regarding nutrition, health, and longevity.

Neuropedagogue Ivonne Gual and nutritionist Alba Coll from the foundation debunked ten specific dietary myths. Key topics of discussion included the necessity of protein in every meal, the safety of taking nutritional supplements without medical prescription, and methods for maintaining gut microbiota health.
