Rate My Professor Gyorgy Scrinis

Scrinis authored the seminal book Nutritionism: The Science and Politics of Dietary Advice (Columbia University Press, 2013), critiquing the reductive nutrient-focused paradigm in nutrition. Key publications include 'Ultra-processed foods and the nutrition transition: Global, regional and national trends, food systems transformations and political economy drivers' (Obesity Reviews, 2020; 1391 citations), 'On the ideology of nutritionism' (Gastronomica, 2008; 513 citations), 'Big Food, Nutritionism, and Corporate Power' (Globalizations, 2017; 280 citations), 'Ultra-processed foods and the corporate capture of nutrition' (BMJ, 2020), and 'The emerging nano-corporate paradigm: nanotechnology and the transformation of nature, food and agri-food systems' (International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food, 2007; 522 citations). His scholarship, cited over 6493 times on Google Scholar, has significantly influenced debates on ultra-processed foods, corporate power in nutrition, and food policy. Scrinis co-led the political economy writing group for the 2025 Lancet series on ultra-processed foods, supported by a Bloomberg Philanthropies grant. He has received funding from the Australian Research Council Discovery Project DP230102527 on student food insecurity and youth agency (2023), and a Rockefeller Foundation Academic Fellowship (2018). His contributions extend to public discourse via The Conversation, BMJ essays, and podcasts on food industry influences.
