Food Is Medicine, but What Counts as Healthy Remains Debated
Original: We Agree Food Is Medicine—We Still Can’t Agree What’s Healthy
The Milken Institute highlights a paradox in nutrition policy: there is broad consensus that food functions as medicine and should play a larger role in healthcare, yet experts still cannot agree on what actually qualifies as healthy. The piece points to ongoing disputes over dietary guidance, labeling standards, and which foods deserve endorsement, even as food-based interventions gain ground in medicine.
Why now: Debates over official dietary guidelines and the growing food-as-medicine movement are keeping questions about defining healthy food in the news.
