How do you know what's safe to eat?You don't. And after a summer full of food recalls from lettuce to blueberries and even jalapeños, a regular trip to the grocery store can start to feel like a dangerous game. But how are the flaws in our food safety system creating issues beyond what we choose to grab in the produce aisle?

This summer, people are boarding whale watching boats and seeing humpbacks feeding in sight of the Manhattan skyline. Fifty years ago, that same water was an open sewer, and every toilet on Manhattan's West Side flushed straight into the Hudson River, untreated. Andrew tells the story of how the whales got here, and why it took most of a century. He starts with the cause: sewers built to empty into the rivers, roughly 590 million gallons of raw sewage a day by the early 1900s, and floating screens at Coney Island to keep it away from swimmers. Then the turn. The city began testing the harbor in 1909 because people demanded it. In 1966, Hudson River fishermen met in an American Legion hall in Crotonville and used an 1899 bounty law against polluters, founding what became Riverkeeper. The Clean Water Act followed in 1972. The North River treatment plant, first proposed in 1938, finally opened in 1986 and ended daily raw sewage discharges into the Hudson, with the West Harlem community carrying the cost of its siting and sparking the environmental justice group WE ACT. The results are hard to argue with: bacteria below dry-weather swimming standards since 1992, record oxygen levels, and 500 individual humpbacks identified in New York waters by Gotham Whale, helped by menhaden catch limits that let their food rebound. The work isn't finished, since heavy rain still pushes sewage through roughly 700 overflow outfalls. Andrew closes with one action: find your local Waterkeeper and follow your own water. Takeaways: New York's sewers were designed to empty straight into the Hudson, the East River, and the harbor. By the early 1900s, roughly 590 million gallons of raw sewage a day flowed into the harbor. The city's Harbor Survey began in 1909 because of public outcry, and it still runs today. In 1966, Hudson River fishermen used an 1899 bounty law against polluters and founded what became Riverkeeper, now a model for more than 300 Waterkeeper groups. The 1972 Clean Water Act required real treatment and funded it. The North River plant took nearly 50 years from proposal (1938) to opening (1986). The plant's siting in West Harlem led to the founding of WE ACT for Environmental Justice. Bacteria have stayed below dry-weather swimming standards since 1992. Humpback sightings in the harbor estuary jumped from 1 (2011 to 2013) to 45 (2014 to 2016); 500 individuals have now been identified. Cleaner water and 2012 menhaden catch limits worked together to bring the whales back. Combined sewer overflows during heavy rain are the unfinished business.

For decades, the medical consensus assumed the urinary tract was completely sterile—leading researchers to leave it out of the original Human Microbiome Project. Groundbreaking new research has flipped this assumption on its head, proving the existence of the "urobiome" and discovering a specific bacterium (Actinobaculum massiliense) capable of converting DHEA directly into testosterone.In this episode, we break down the latest study exploring: • How bacteria in the urinary tract convert DHEA to testosterone in under 72 hours• The critical implications for prostate cancer and Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT)• Potential impacts on hormone therapies, antibiotic use, and anti-doping testing• What this brand-new field of science means for hormonal and overall health

What if I told you that you could stop buying laundry detergent forever? No pods. No liquid detergent. No searching for the "cleanest" brand. No deciphering ingredient labels. Just water and oxygen. Sounds a little too good to be true, right? That was my question too: But does it actually clean the clothes? This week, I'm joined by Marissa from O3 Waterworks to explore aqueous ozone, or O3, and how their Smart Laundry System uses water and oxygen to create a cleaning solution directly within your washing cycle. We get into the questions that actually matter: What about odors? Stains? Bacteria? Detergent residue and buildup? What happens inside your washing machine? Why does the system use cold water? And how is aqueous ozone different from the gaseous ozone you may have heard warnings about? Marissa also walks us through potential long-term savings, the Smart Laundry System's boost mode, and their sanitizing spray bottle, which creates aqueous ozone using tap water. I'm personally bringing this system into my own home, so I wanted to understand exactly what it does, if it has limitations, and whether laundry detergent could really become one less product we have to buy. Could a machine on your laundry-room wall make detergent a thing of the past? Listen to find out! ✴️ Connect with O3 Waterworks on Instagram or TikTok  

If you've ever wondered why your mood, your gut, and your immune system all seem to be struggling at once, the answer might be a tiny biochemical pathway you've never heard of, and a toxic product you can't fully escape even on a 100% organic diet. In this episode, Dr. Oscar Coetzee, VP of Clinical Education and Practitioner Support at Designs for Health and a clinician with over 25 years of experience in psychology and nutrition, breaks down how glyphosate quietly disrupts the gut bacteria responsible for making your brain's own mood-regulating chemicals, and what the newest research says you can actually do to rebuild what's been lost.

Seinfeld turned double-dipping a chip into one of television's funniest social crimes. But beneath the comedy was a surprisingly legitimate scientific question: does taking a second dip actually contaminate the bowl? Researchers have put the question to the test, and George Costanza probably would not have liked the results. The science suggests that Timmy's outrage may have been more justified than we thought.

Microbiologist Justin Sonnenburg wants you to know that you – and all humans, really – are not alone. Inside each of us live uncountable bacteria without whom we could not survive. Nowhere is this symbiosis more vital, Sonnenburg says, than in the digestive tract – the gut – where trillions of bacterial collaborators help digest the foods that nourish us. Sonnenburg studies what makes this complex relationship work and how modern life is altering this important chemistry. He says the gut microbiome should be thought of as another organ. When it drifts out of balance, the effects ripple through our metabolism, our immune systems, and our nervous systems. Sonnenburg goes on to explain how dietary choices – like eating more fermented foods and fiber – can rebuild the microbiome, and why the field's next frontier could help alleviate chronic disease. “It really is a full-body impact that our microbes are having,” Sonnenburg tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Episode Description: The bloating after every meal. The gas. The afternoon energy crash. The brain fog. The belly fat that will not move. Almost all of it runs through one place. And it is not a willpower problem. It is your gut. Most people have already spent real money on a probiotic, felt nothing, and concluded that probiotics do not work. The truth is worse. Most of those bacteria are dead before they reach you. The label counts them at manufacturing, not when you swallow them. You may have been paying for a probiotic graveyard for years. Dr. G breaks down four gut supplements with actual human proof behind them, the exact label tricks companies use to take your money, and the one thing that does more for your gut than all four combined. Dr. G breaks it down — in order: Take 1: "A dead probiotic is just an expensive way to feed your toilet" Dr. G exposes the 50 billion CFU scam and explains why most probiotics never survive the journey to your intestines. Find out why the strain on the label matters far more than the number and what to look for instead. Take 2: "Saccharomyces boulardii is the one probiotic that actually arrives alive" It is a yeast, not a bacteria, which means stomach acid and antibiotics cannot touch it. Dr. G breaks down what it does once it gets there, the exact dose used in randomized controlled trials, and the one strain designation that separates the real product from the filler. Take 3: "A probiotic does nothing if you are not feeding the bacteria you already have" Partially hydrolyzed guar gum is one of the most underrated gut supplements in existence and almost nobody is talking about it. Dr. G explains why it feeds your existing microbiome without triggering the gas and bloating that sensitive guts get from other fibers. Take 4: "Enteric coated peppermint oil beats placebo across dozens of randomized controlled trials" If your gut hurts, cramps, or spasms, this is the one. Dr. G explains the exact mechanism, why the enteric coating is non-negotiable, and what happens if you take the version without it. Take 5: "Glutamine is the mortar between the bricks of your gut wall" When the lining goes leaky, food sensitivities, immune reactions, and gut symptoms follow. Dr. G breaks down the randomized controlled trial showing 15 grams a day nearly normalized gut permeability, and why most gut repair blends are burying a useless dose inside an expensive label. Supplements are tools. Your diet and nervous system are the foundation. Product reviews assess both brand transparency and product quality. If a company doesn't respond to our outreach, it doesn't automatically mean their product is low quality but it does mean they're failing their customers on transparency and communication. We reach out multiple times. No response isn't an oversight, it's a choice. And consumers deserve better.

After Connie accidentally grew a super bug to monstrous proportions

Bacteria that eat plastic sounds like the fix everyone's been waiting for, and Andrew gets sent videos about it constantly. So on this solo episode, following Monday's interview with Dr. Anja Brandon of Ocean Conservancy, he goes looking for the real state of the science. The short version: it's promising, it's roughly a decade of real research deep, and it is nowhere close to running at the scale the ocean plastic crisis actually needs. The bacterium that started this whole field, Ideonella sakaiensis, was discovered breaking down PET plastic in Japan in 2016. A 2025 breakthrough from NREL, UMass Lowell, and the University of Portsmouth engineered an improved PET-degrading enzyme that cut chemical use by more than 99%, running costs by 74%, and energy use by 65%, modeling out to a cost that actually undercuts virgin plastic. It's a genuinely exciting result. It's also still lab-stage, with no commercial plant running it yet. Carbios, the French company furthest along at trying to bring enzymatic PET recycling to industrial scale, is proof of just how hard that jump is: its flagship French plant is delayed, its cash reserves have been cut by more than a third, it slashed 40% of its workforce, and it's now pivoting toward a joint venture in China that's faced its own shareholder disputes. Then there's the other technology people call "plastic-eating," chemical recycling through pyrolysis, which isn't biological at all. It's plastic melted down with extreme heat back into oil and gas, currently handling under 1.3% of US plastic waste according to advocacy group Beyond Plastics, regulated by the EPA as a form of incineration (a classification the agency is actively trying to change as of this year), and excluded from the EU's own definition of recycling entirely. Andrew lays out where the real hope sits, where the hype outruns the evidence, and why reduce, reuse, and refuse still does more for the ocean than any of this, at least for now. Takeaways: The bacterium behind the "plastic-eating bacteria" field, Ideonella sakaiensis, was discovered in Japan in 2016, and the research is real but still roughly a decade from meaningful commercial scale. A 2025 enzyme breakthrough from NREL, UMass Lowell, and the University of Portsmouth models out to costs that undercut virgin plastic, but it's a lab and modeling result, not a running commercial plant. Carbios, the company furthest along at industrial-scale enzymatic PET recycling, still can't get its flagship French plant operational and is now pivoting toward a contested joint venture in China. Chemical recycling (pyrolysis) is a separate, non-biological technology that melts plastic down with heat, currently handles under 1.3% of US plastic waste, and is regulated by the EPA as incineration, a classification the agency is actively trying to change in 2026. Advocacy group Beyond Plastics found pyrolysis facility emissions can run 10 to 100 times higher than making virgin plastic, and that multiple US pyrolysis facilities have already shut down or gone bankrupt. None of these technologies are close to solving ocean plastic pollution at scale right now; reducing single-use plastics at the source still does more, and that requires government leadership, not just individual habit changes.

Asked for a treatment for Lyme disease, Dr. Lodi says he does not like the word diagnose. He calls it "a word of sorcery", closer to a curse than a description, because the name then becomes the focus of a life, and he puts chronic Lyme in the same bracket as long COVID.That answer is the longest block of the show, and most of it argues germ theory has the order backwards. He describes the Lyme organism as a corkscrew shaped spirochete he says takes a dark field microscope to see, and says finding it would still not prove it caused anything. Bacteria do turn up in an abscess, but on his account "they're there cleaning it up. That's their job." From there it runs to Koch's postulates, Bechamp against Pasteur, what he calls Rockefeller medicine, and why he thinks nobody knows anything beyond their own perception. On top of whatever a person takes to kill something off, he recommends what he gives for everything: cleansing, juices, colon hydrotherapy, movement, biological dentistry, early nights and a short daily eating window.The rest runs through which iodine to put on a breast lump, where he calls the povidone iodine used to sterilize skin for surgery the wrong product and points instead to Lugol's solution and the brand Iodoral, while telling the listener that iodine is only one thing, not a program on its own; whether grounding has to be on grass, where his answer is any earth at all, sand, soil or a tree, nothing man made; a listener who says they feel something moving inside them and have been laughed at by doctors, which becomes his account of parasites inside the body against ones under the skin; and a gallbladder impacted with stones and sludge, where stones form, he says, the way salt drops out of water that can hold no more. The last question, whether someone on heart medication can do a parasite cleanse, he turns into what the liver already has to clear. He ends on "Aloha."Covered in this episodeTreatment for Lyme diseaseWhat he says bacteria are there to doWhich iodine for a breast lump, and why he says it is only one thingNascent iodine against Lugol's solutionWhether grounding has to be done on grassA listener who says they feel something moving inside themA gallbladder impacted with stones and sludgeLiver cleanses and the stones people findWhy he says the thyroid needs seleniumHow he says rectal ozone worksWhat he says causes a migraine auraParasite cleanses and heart medicationSend us Fan Mail Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

The Rizzuto Show kicks things off by remembering Tim Curry, his legendary career, and the unfortunate timing of losing another beloved celebrity during an already emotional week. That leads the crew into the important question of who could possibly fill the role of a universally beloved celebrity these days. Adam Sandler gets consideration, Jeff Bridges enters the conversation, and eventually Keanu Reeves emerges as a pretty strong candidate because apparently quietly eating ice cream and being a decent human being now qualifies you for sainthood. Fair enough.Then everybody gets nostalgic about childhood discipline, which quickly becomes less “remember the good old days?” and more “should somebody have called somebody?” The crew remembers wooden spoons, belts, Hot Wheels tracks, fly swatters, soap in the mouth and the terrifying parental phrase that basically meant your afternoon plans had been canceled. It's another wholesome trip down memory lane from your favorite funny podcast, assuming your memories involve calculating the trajectory of a leather belt like you're working for NASA.Next stop: Burning Man, where the crew investigates the return of the infamous adults-only dome after last year's wind-related disaster. There are rules now: IDs, consent, no recording devices and, most importantly, no singles strolling in alone. Which naturally launches a completely necessary discussion about whether two buddies could simply pretend to be a couple to get through the door. Journalism is alive and well.Things somehow become more respectable when we arrive in Tulsa, where authorities are searching for a mysterious serial defecator accused of targeting businesses while dressed in an ensemble involving tiny underwear, a shower cap, a modified mask and Crocs. The most damning detail? The Crocs apparently weren't in sport mode. That's how you know this guy fears neither God nor law enforcement.And then comes Oreogate.A kindergarten mom reportedly asks the other parents to stop packing Oreos because her daughter gets upset when other kids have them. No allergy. No medical issue. Just the brutal realization that another five-year-old has cookies and you do not. When the other parents refuse to reorganize their children's lunches around this international crisis, Mom considers switching schools.Over Oreos.Meanwhile, the kid starts trading for them anyway, proving once again that kindergarten cafeterias are basically tiny prisons with better wall art. The crew debates school-lunch currency, Double Stuf superiority, Golden Oreos, questionable specialty flavors and the economic insanity required to consider changing schools because Nabisco has destroyed the peace.There are even pickle-flavored Oreo-adjacent horrors entering the studio, because apparently talking about terrible cookies wasn't enough—we needed witnesses.It's celebrity talk, childhood trauma disguised as nostalgia, weird news, Burning Man logistics, criminal fashion analysis and one kindergarten snack dispute treated with roughly the seriousness of an international trade embargo.The crew dives into UFOs becoming UAPs, government disclosures, Bob Lazar, Area 51 and whether actual extraterrestrial visitors could finally unite humanity. Rafe thinks having one common alien enemy might finally turn us all into citizens of Earth. Moon isn't buying that optimism and figures we'd probably start fighting over which country gets custody of the aliens before they even get out of the ship. Sounds about right.Back on Earth, St. Louis is getting a little Hollywood treatment with The Streak, a sports comedy filming locally about Caltech's legendary basketball team snapping a 310-game losing streak. The production needs roughly 1,800 volunteer extras for basketball crowd scenes, meaning you too can spend five hours waiting around for your glorious half-second of blurry cinematic immortality. At least they're bringing stand-up comedians in to entertain the extras between takes.Then we enter conspiracy territory with Tropical Storm Dolly. Yes, shortly after Dolly Parton's passing, the next named Atlantic storm happens to be Dolly. No, they didn't name it after her. Yes, the names were already determined. And yes, people online are still turning it into a conspiracy because apparently coincidence was removed from the Internet's vocabulary sometime around 2017. It's the kind of discussion a comedy podcast was genetically engineered to handle.The show also remembers the incredible Tim Curry, looking back at everything from The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Clue to Home Alone 2, Congo and his nightmare-fueling performance as Pennywise in the 1990 TV adaptation of It. Somehow that horrifying sewer scene aired on network television and an entire generation of children was simply expected to sleep afterward. The '90s were built different.Crap on Celebrities brings even more chaos: the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal saga, Jamie Foxx discussing changes made to Django Unchained, a Quentin Tarantino-written Cliff Booth project, the original Sandlot cast reuniting for Dugout Dads, and the revelation that Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez grew up to become a firefighter. There is also a detour into a bizarre 2015 incident involving actor Mike Vitar because apparently even The Sandlot can't survive this show without us finding something weird.Ozzy Osbourne is getting his own Halloween Horror Nights attraction, Boston is celebrating 50 years with previously unreleased demos, Eric Clapton and John Mayer have a limited-edition guitar collection benefiting Clapton's recovery center, and Rupert Grint is returning as an adult Ron Weasley on Broadway. It's celebrity news, music news and pop culture commentary delivered with the level of professionalism you've come to expect from people debating alien treaties earlier in the episode.Before social media algorithms knew everything about you, the internet was a simpler place. A lawless, dial-up wasteland where your email address was probably something like BongRipper69@hotmail.com and one accidental click on Rotten.com could permanently alter the trajectory of your childhood.So naturally, The Rizzuto Show is going back.This episode starts with more nostalgia for the early internet and one of its most infamous destinations: Rotten.com. Back then, you couldn't just stumble across every horrifying thing imaginable while casually scrolling your phone. No, sir. You had to work for your trauma. You had to hear about Rotten.com from somebody, type it into the family computer, click something you absolutely shouldn't have clicked, and then wait patiently while your dial-up connection loaded your lifelong regret one horrifying line at a time.Was Rotten.com disgusting? Absolutely.Does the crew still seem weirdly sad that it's gone?Also absolutely.Then we move from internet trauma to another relic of the '90s and early 2000s: Hotmail.A poll says 18% of people are apparently still rocking a Hotmail address, which leads to an important discovery: Hotmail never completely disappeared. Microsoft eventually transitioned the service into Outlook, meaning technically some of us may still be living inside the Hotmail universe.We're all dorks. Fantastic.The crew remembers the era when nobody used their actual name for an email address. Instead, we created identities that looked like rejected Xbox gamertags: random nicknames, 420s, 69s and enough questionable innuendo to make applying for a respectable adult job years later slightly complicated.And then there are the complaint emails.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Tulsa cops hunting ‘serial defecator' wearing thong, mask and shower cap who terrorized local businessesBride and groom bedridden for days after norovirus-tainted wedding mealTim Curry, Famous for Roles in Rocky Horror Picture Show, It and Annie, Dies at 80, 14 Years After Paralyzing StrokeDozens of new Missouri laws take effect FridayMan, 26, arrested after dressing as ‘Grim Reaper' and climbing onto hospital roof with long scythe to stare at patientsWhy You Shouldn't Squish Ants—and What to Do InsteadMaryville University Hockey Rink expansion to be named after Blues legendSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The perspective put forth in this podcast is based on published scientific data which has established how tetanus bacteria are not dangerous unless a certain kind of phage enters their existence and induces the tetanus bacteria to change its metabolism and, as a result, this transition process enables it to release a toxin that it was not previously generating, and, when that bacteria has not been enabled to produce and release that toxin, it is harmless because it is the toxin associated with tetanus which is the problem and not the bacteria. An effort has been made to explore the foregoing issue in a manner that, hopefully, will be accessible to a largely lay-audience. In other words, the presentation is not done as a formal, research lecture might be given, but is informal and tries to avoid as much technical jargon as possible and, yet, still be accurate in what is said.

Jonathon Keats is an artist, writer, and experimental philosopher, and his work uses imagination to question some of our most basic assumptions about how the world works. His new book, “A Field Guide to More-Than-Human Governance,” looks beyond human societies for new ways of thinking about politics, drawing lessons from bacteria, fungi, plants, animals, and entire ecosystems. At the heart of the book is a simple idea: humans didn't invent governance. Living things have been organizing, cooperating, competing, and adapting to one another for billions of years, and Jonathon argues that we might have something to learn from them. He asks us to reconsider what intelligence looks like, who—or what—we're willing to learn from, and ultimately, what our place is within the natural world. In “A Field Guide to More-Than-Human Governance,” Jonathon takes that idea and asks what it might actually mean for the way we govern ourselves. Bacteria become models for collective decision-making, lichens offer lessons about cooperation and conflict, and other species challenge our assumptions about hierarchy, resilience, and even democracy. Jonathon calls this approach “political biomimicry”—looking to the strategies that have evolved throughout nature and considering how they might inspire new approaches to human politics. It's an imaginative way of thinking about some very real problems, and one that asks us to reconsider whether humans should always be the only ones setting the terms.

Did you know you swallow about six cups of your own saliva every single day, and that saliva could be quietly feeding disease throughout your entire body? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Elmira Shojai and Lora Hooper, two women working at the cutting edge of something almost nobody in traditional dentistry ever talks about: your oral microbiome. I did a consult with them on my own mouth, and even though I feel amazing and have done so much work to clean up my health, my results shocked me. We go deep on why the mouth is the second largest microbiome in your body, why traditional dentistry cleans and fills without ever asking why the problem keeps coming back, and why killing every bit of bacteria with harsh mouthwash might actually be making things worse instead of better. If you've done everything right and still feel like your body is working against you, this conversation might hold the missing piece.
