Podcasts about Bad science

Headlines shout, ads glow, and reaction videos roll their eyes, but your heart health deserves more than noise. We take a calm, from-the-heart look at omega-3 supplements and why the research appears to clash, then trace the real reasons studies diverge: who gets studied, how long they're followed, what dose they take, and which outcomes actually matter. No hot takes here, just clear thinking you can use the next time a confident voice tries to sell you certainty.We start by disentangling observational research from causation, showing how healthy user bias and social determinants of health can masquerade as supplement benefits.From there, we break down randomized controlled trials without the halo effect: short timelines and low-risk populations are a recipe for “no difference,” even when an intervention might help in the right setting. By zooming in on higher-risk groups and adequate EPA/DHA dosing, we explain when omega-3s can reduce cardiovascular events and why broad, general-population trials often dilute that signal.You'll also get practical guidance to steady your routine. We outline simple, plant-forward ways to meet daily ALA needs, flax, chia, walnuts, hemp, and how supplementation can serve as a backup when diet falls short. Most importantly, we share a five-question checklist to stress-test any health claim: incentives, design, duration, population risk, and meaningful outcomes. Use it to cut through influencer drama, affiliate pitches, and curated “debunks,” and make choices that fit your risk profile and values.If this helped you think more clearly about omega-3s, and about evidence itself, share it with a friend who's tired of nutrition whiplash, subscribe for more grounded conversations, and leave a review with the next claim you want us to unpack.Go check out my website for tons of free resources on how to transition towards a healthier diet and lifestyle.You can download my free plant-based recipes eBook and a ton of other free resources by visiting  the Digital Downloads tab of my website at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/shopDon't forget to check out my blog at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/blog You can also watch my educational videos on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMpkQRXb7G-StAotV0dmahQCheck out my upcoming live events and free eCourse, where you'll learn more about how to create delicious plant-based recipes: https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/Go follow me on social media by visiting my Facebook page and Instagram accountshttps://www.facebook.com/plantbaseddrjuleshttps://www.instagram.com/plantbased_dr_jules/Last but not least, the best way to show your support and to help me spread my message is to subscribe to my podcast and to leave a 5 star review on Apple and Spotify!Thanks so much!Peace, love, plants!Dr. Jules 

In today's episode, Umah is joined by Jeff Marr, founder of The Practical Philosophy Club, to unpack the unique art of community facilitation and what it takes to design unstructured, safe spaces for deep, depolarising conversation. Moving away from top-down corporate agendas, Jeff explores how his grassroots, peer-led facilitation model grew from a casual living room meetup in Mexico into a global network hosting over 800 people a week across 28 countries. They talk about: The power of the introduction and why the first few minutes are the facilitator's most critical tool for setting guidelines on airtime, monologue-busting, and vulnerability  The "jam session" approach to facilitation, shifting the practitioner's role from a rigid authority figure to a light touch that trusts adults to self-moderate and navigate their own dialogue  Holding space for ideological friction and practical techniques to de-escalate heated moments, calm group triggers, and help people sit with constructive discomfort The spectrum of group dynamics, from managing large groups by scaling into small, co-facilitated tables, to knowing when to let a little healthy chaos ride. Quote highlights "I think that's one of our main issues in society is that we have these echo chambers that no one's breaking out of, and our algorithms are pushing us to go further into it." "...you want to have a strong frame of reality and a sense of confidence in yourself, so that you can hear." "We've had several people who, we could call them say problematic, right? Like a little bit quick to anger easily triggered these type of things. And I have seen them blossom... they're able to hear all these opinions without getting triggered anymore so it's been beautiful to see that."   Links Today's guest: Jeffery Marr — Practical Philosophy Club Founder https://www.practicalphilosophy.club & https://www.linkedin.com/in/practicalphilosophyy/  To join a Practical Philosophy Meetup in a country near you, head to: https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/practical-philosophy-locations/ Today's host: Umah Ganeshalingam — Change and Transformation Advisor and Facilitator https://www.linkedin.com/in/umah To find out more about Facilitation Stories and the IAF England & Wales Chapter:

In this episode of The Baby Tribe, Afif and Anne take on one of the most emotionally charged topics in maternity care: caesarean birth. Online birth content often presents two true statements side by side: caesareans carry more risk than vaginal birth, and caesarean rates are rising. The implied conclusion is often that unnecessary caesareans are harming women. But is that a fair interpretation of the evidence? Afif and Anne unpack why context matters, especially the concept of confounding by indication: the idea that the reason someone receives an intervention is often linked to the outcome being measured. Using a NICU analogy, they explain why comparing caesarean outcomes with uncomplicated vaginal births can be deeply misleading. They also discuss planned versus emergency caesareans, absolute versus relative risk, the risks of doing nothing, and why both hospital maternity care and private birth care can carry their own biases. The episode includes a breakdown of a 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis comparing planned caesarean delivery with planned vaginal delivery in randomized trials. This is not an episode about promoting caesareans or dismissing vaginal birth. It is about evidence, nuance, and helping women recognise the difference between informed consent and fear-based messaging. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Wrongful convictions and AI privacy may seem like separate issues, but both raise the same uncomfortable question: what happens when the legal system relies on old assumptions in a changing world? In episode 618 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Zack Glaser talks with Sunny Eaton about conviction review work, evolving science, and why lawyers should not be so quick to surrender privacy expectations in the age of AI.  Sunny shares how her work in the Nashville District Attorney's Office focuses on reviewing old convictions, identifying new evidence, and helping correct cases where the system may have gotten it wrong. She explains why changing science, including advances in DNA, trauma research, and bias studies, can matter deeply when reviewing criminal convictions.  The conversation then turns to AI, attorney client privilege, client data, and the growing role of data brokers. Zack and Sunny explore whether information shared with AI tools should automatically lose privacy protection, and why lawyers may need to make stronger arguments before courts accept that assumption.  If you are concerned about AI in law firms, client confidentiality, or the future of privacy rights, this episode challenges lawyers to think harder about what should remain private and why it is our job to make the government work for it.   Listen to our previous episodes on AI, Privacy & Legal Ethics.  #612: AI for Lawyers: What You Need to Know Before Your Clients Do, with Cat Casey Apple | Spotify | LTN  #582: Deepfakes, Data, and Duty: Navigating AI Ethics in Law, with Merisa Bowers Apple | Spotify | LTN  #543: What Lawyers Need to Know About the Ethics of Using AI, with Hilary Gerzhoy Apple | Spotify | LTN  #486: How to Safely Include AI in Your Legal Tech Stack, with Will Anoh Apple | Spotify | LTN  Have thoughts about today's episode?

Absinthe, a pale green drink consisting of mostly alcohol and small amounts of wormwood oil, has only recently been legalized in much of the western world after a nearly century long ban. Everyone knows the myths about absinthe - that it causes hallucinations, that it'll make you go crazy. They banned it for a reason after all right? It's powerful, dangerous stuff which, in many ways, makes it all the more alluring to the masses. But what if I told you that thujone, the psychoactive chemical found in wormwood, doesn't cause hallucinations at all? That the degeneration and "poisoning of the population" blamed entirely on absinthe at the turn of the 20th century was much likely to have been caused by the near 70% alcohol it contained? So why was absinthe really banned? Who turned the "green fairy" into the "green demon?"

Ask Chad Grassy Logic S4 Ep9 - Bad Science = Bad Laws Guest: Victoria Cvitanovic - Rudick Law Group Summary: This week on ACGL, I sat down with Victoria, a lawyer with Rudick Law Group who brings many years of experience to the table. We learn about her firm's focus on cannabis industry law and what brought her into the cannabis space. We then talk about the controversial shop that may be a little too close to Texas with nowhere to go, and finally I break down the study that claimed cannabis is not a good option for people dealing with mental health issues.

Jay Lasker, aka Crémieux on Twitter/X, has spent the past few years digging into bad science and its bad data, especially in health science. For example, the rise in autism is almost solely due to expanded diagnosis and the incentives to get a diagnosis. This is especially relevant for policies like the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia, which pays out on the basis of a diagnosis.Worse, because this idea of a rise in autism has become a global meme, people and politicians are already searching for answers and interventions to prevent it from getting worse! Before asking the question “Is the data correct and showing what we think?”, we jump to the question “What should we do about it?”Indeed, many of the troubling social trends that seem to capture our collective minds are pure data measurement artefacts. They aren't real. We can stop worrying. Find Jay's terrific Substack here.And for his excellent regular posting on Twitter/X find him here. As always, please like, share, comment, and subscribe.

In this episode, I critically examine the widespread claim that quantum physics provides scientific proof for magic, esotericism, and spiritual practice. I explore what prominent scholars have actually proposed about possible links between quantum mechanics, consciousness, and interconnected phenomena, carefully situating these ideas within their proper academic and disciplinary contexts.I then address why concepts such as the observer effect, wavefunction collapse, entanglement, and energy are so frequently misunderstood and misused in spiritual and New Age discourse, paying particular attention to questions of scale, decoherence, and category error. Throughout, my aim is not to dismiss lived experience or magical practice, but to argue for intellectual precision and methodological honesty.I conclude by acknowledging areas where scientific inquiry remains genuinely open, especially in relation to consciousness, while explaining why quantum physics, as it currently stands, cannot be used to legitimise esoteric practices.CONNECT & SUPPORT

We're joined by Squirly from the Chumming Up Podcast to question WA's demersal fishing bans. We dig into the lack of transparency around the data and science, ask whether declining stocks are a problem of government mismanagement, and explore why responsibility now seems to be shifting onto fishers instead of failed policies.

Astronomy Cast Ep. 774: How Does Bad Science Happen? By Fraser Cain & Dr. Pamela Gay Streamed live on Nov 8, 2025. Scientific expertise is under attack on all fronts with concerns coming from politicians and the public. While most of this is unwarranted and politically motivated, there can be germ of truth. Bad science does happen, but how? How is it that papers that very few believe still make it through peer review and to publication? Why do professors at prominent universities get quoted saying things that seem to be fiction? In this episode, we consider the case for letting potentially impossible things make it to publication.

Science journalist Gary Taubes discusses the MAHA Report, new dietary guidelines, and bad nutrition science on the latest episode of Just Asking Questions.

Most medical professionals don't read the latest studies. A lot of modern medicine is based on bad science (B.S.). Conventional medicine was never set up to promote good health; it was meant for profit.   If these statements shock you, that is part of the point. Our guests today, Dr. Jeremy Ayres and John Gusty, are co-authors of "The Red Pill Revolution" and they are on a mission to uncover the deceptive practices interwoven in modern medicine. They invite you to dig deeper to discover its dark roots and the industry that has developed around it. Listen with curiosity to learn how to take your health into your own hands and to opt out of the conventional system that is tied to the food and the pharmaceutical industry.   Visit Dr. Jeremy Ayres and John Gusty's websites: jeremyayres.com, theredpillrevolution.com, and naturallybetter4you.com Become a member of Nourishing Our Children Facebook groups  Check out our sponsors: Optimal Carnivore and Earth Runners  

Is Britain still a world leader in forensic science or are we sleepwalking into a criminal justice crisis?   Once considered the gold standard, the UK's forensic science system is not working well for anyone – not for the police, not for the suppliers of services, not for the courts and, by extension, not for the public.  Yet we all believe it to be a critical tool that we can rely upon to bring the guilty to justice and exonerate the innocent.   Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined by two of the UK's most respected forensic science experts - Baroness Sue Black and Dr Angela Gallop CBE - to investigate the breakdown of forensic science in England and Wales and what it means for justice. The guests explain how these changes have led to miscarriages of justice, undermining trust in both science and the legal system.   As co-chairs of the Westminster Commission on Forensic Science, Sue and Angela outline urgent recommendations: create a National Forensic Science Institute, invest in independent research, and reform the funding of the defence to ensure equality of arms in the courtroom. This is a powerful and timely discussion that cuts to the heart of British politics, UK law, and the fight to uphold the rule of law. --- Covering the critical intersections of law and politics in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy. With in-depth discussions and influential guests, Double Jeopardy is the podcast that uncovers the forces shaping Britain's legal and political future. What happens when law and politics collide? How do politics shape the law - and when does the law push back? What happens when judicial independence is tested, human rights come under attack, or freedom of expression is challenged? And who really holds power in Britain's legal and political system? Get answers to questions like these weekly on Wednesdays. Double Jeopardy is presented by Ken Macdonald KC, former Director of Public Prosecutions, and Tim Owen KC, as they break down the legal and political issues in Britain. From high-profile legal cases to the evolving state of British democracy, Double Jeopardy offers expert legal commentary on the most pressing topics in UK law, politics, and human rights. Ken Macdonald KC served as Director of Public Prosecutions from 2003-2008, shaping modern prosecutorial policy and advocating for the rule of law. He is a former Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, a crossbench member of the House of Lords, and a leading writer, commentator and broadcaster on politics and the rule of law. Tim Owen KC has been involved in many of the most significant public, criminal and human rights law cases over the past four decades.  Both bring unparalleled experience from the frontline of Britain's legal and political landscape. If you like The Rest Is Politics, Talking Politics, Law Pod UK and Today in Focus, you'll love Double Jeopardy.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comDonald McNeil Jr., a 45-year New York Times veteran, comes on the pod to talk with Nancy and Sarah about … so much. The prompt was the recent NYT story, “We Were Badly Misled About the Event That Changed Our Lives.” As the paper of record tries to come correct on Covid, we wanted to hear from the science journalist, one of the first to tell Americans about this strange thing called the coronavirus. A self-declared “cranky old-school” reporter, McNeil landed the story of his career in 2020 and became part of a team that won the Pulitzer. But by 2021, he was gone, amid scandal and speculation. He talks about the bizarre kerfuffle that led to his resignation, mean girl dynamics at the paper, being misled by scientists, and what we do and don't know about Covid-19's origins. As McNeil wrote in Wisdom of Plagues, "Covid coarsened us as a nation... The coarsening cracks our national skin. It makes us more vulnerable to infection."Also discussed:* Nancy tries not to fangirl. She fangirls anyway.* “It's a great newspaper but it's a second-rate corporation, and its personnel stuff is particularly bad.”* The walk McNeil took with James Bennet, a year after both getting booted from the Times, is a play we'd like to see* “Looks like Don nailed it. Let's not tell him.” (!!!!!!)* NYT brass on their writing staff: “Widgets made here.”* Young turks vs. cranky old-timers in union leadership* The Daily Beast and Gawker do not cover themselves in glory* "The Western focus on personal liberty above all can kill."* The Mike Pesca of it all* The hope that Covid might “unite us with a common enemy” like WWII. Awww, what happened instead? We turned on each other.* “Ecstasy is a very good drug to get you talking”* McNeil = not a fan of Jay Battacharya* Thoughts on RFK!Plus, McNeil explains what “hot-box” once meant, where he thinks H5-N1 is going, how cancel culture is like the French Revolution, and much more!Does McNeil think Covid-19 was engineered in a virology lab or evolved in the wet market?

This is part 3 of “Are We Under Attack” where I ask Chat GPT how an evil organization aka the ruling class would go about controlling a population without anyone knowing. Now truth be told I wasn't necessarily planning on doing another episode on this topic but then I listened to an absolutely mind-blowing podcast called The Telepathy Tapes and I got pulled back into the game. So in this episode I go into the ideology of materialism and scientism and how they have been used to deliberately hold us back from knowing the truth about who we are, where we live and what we are capable ofIf you enjoy the show you can buy me a cup of coffee (send a tip): VenmoField Guide 9 - WebsiteGet Pine Pollen, Tallow and a NEW HAT - Online StoreSignup for newsletter: Send email to: ayahumero@deeperyougo.com with subject line "I Want In"Podcast gear available at: https://deeper-you-go-the-weirder-it.myspreadshop.com/Feel free to reach out with questions: ayahumero@deeperyougo.comDeeper you go Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deeper_weirder/Book: The Self-Sabotage Guide: 9 Behaviors Preventing You from Becoming Stronger, Faster, And SexierThank you all for supporting the show!

Your body isn't one-size-fits-all, so why should your health plan be? This week's episode dives into the personalized world of metabolic typing and functional medicine, where understanding your unique physiology is key to lasting wellness.Functional medicine expert and Metabolic Typing coach Martin Pytela is here to share his transformative journey from battling mercury toxicity to founding Life Enthusiast, an online hub for alternative health solutions. Together, Jenn and Martin explore how metabolic types and endocrine dominance—like thyroid, adrenal, and ovarian types—impact food choices, energy levels, mood, and overall well-being. This conversation is packed with actionable insights, from tips on what to avoid putting in your mouth to the balance between fats, proteins, and carbs based on your metabolic type. Stick around for Jenn's rapid-fire questions with Martin, plus a preview of the upcoming Nutrition Nugget on creatine. Let's uncover the science behind making wellness genuinely work for you.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [4:29] Martin shares how he developed an interest in alternative health[9:03] What is metabolic typing? Discover functional medicine and testing[12:23] Discussion of the different metabolic types: alkaline and acidic[16:09] Are you an oxidizer or an autonomic drinker?[19:19] Starting your day off right, based on your metabolic type[23:50] Different types of endocrine dominance: estrogen/adrenal, pituitary, thyroid, ovarian, testosterone and feeding those systems[28:00] How different body types are influenced by the different metabolic types[32:08] Martin answers Jenn's rapid-fire questions[35:15] Preview of this week's  Nutrition Nugget bonus episode on Creatine and consider joining the Healthy Vibe Tribe; it's not too late!KEY TAKEAWAYS: Many journeys to wellness begin with health challenges, like those caused by mercury amalgam fillings. The pursuit of healing can often lead to alternative medicine, functional health, and innovative ventures that inspire others to embrace holistic approaches to well-being.Individual differences in metabolic types significantly influence how people react to foods and other factors. Understanding personal physiology is essential for tailoring our health strategies and improving overall well-being.Understanding your metabolic type (sympathetic or parasympathetic dominant) and endocrine dominance (thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, or ovarian) can help tailor your diet to optimize energy, mood, and wellness. For example, a thyroid-dominant individual may thrive on a carb-centric breakfast, while an adrenal-dominant person benefits from a breakfast high in fats and proteins.While diet and lifestyle adjustments can align with specific body aesthetics, prioritizing metabolic balance and emotional well-being over appearances leads to sustainable wellness and reduced cravings.QUOTES: [7:12] “The medical system is not using the scientific method. They say they do, but they don't. They never ask what the cause of this is. They see a symptom, and they say, for the symptom, I have a pill.” Martin Pytela[17:45] “ Depending on our [metabolic] type, we want to shift the balance of macronutrients in our approach.” Jenn Trepeck[28:24] “We know that blood sugar balance and many of these elements are critical to metabolic health, and that doesn't necessarily mean one size or one shape.” Jenn Trepeck[29:42] “I would like to say this: when you learn and figure out your [metabolic] type, you can work with it or against it.” Martin Pytela[30:23] “Sometimes the choice that might get us to the aesthetic isn't necessarily the choice that brings us peace, joy, and some of the things that we're looking for.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Learn more about Healthy Vibe Tribe HEREReady to jump into the Healthy Vibe Tribe?

The Democratic Party has created a two-tiered system in the Courts and in federal agencies; they have inverted basic values, including equal protection under the law, the role of families, informed consent, individual sovereignty, and our Constitution; and they have replaced truth-seeking with activism.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter This special episode is a rebroadcast of AMA #30, now made available to everyone, in which Peter and Bob Kaplan dive deep into all things related to studying studies to help one sift through the noise to find the signal. They define various types of studies, how a study progresses from idea to execution, and how to identify study strengths and limitations. They explain how clinical trials work, as well as biases and common pitfalls to watch out for. They dig into key factors that contribute to the rigor (or lack thereof) of an experiment, and they discuss how to measure effect size, differentiate relative risk from absolute risk, and what it really means when a study is statistically significant. Finally, Peter lays out his personal process when reading through scientific papers. We discuss: The ever-changing landscape of scientific literature [2:30]; The process for a study to progress from idea to design to execution [5:00]; Various types of studies and how they differ [8:00]; The different phases of clinical trials [19:45]; Observational studies and the potential for bias [27:00]; Experimental studies: randomization, blinding, and other factors that make or break a study [44:30]; Power, p-values, and statistical significance [56:45]; Measuring effect size: relative risk vs. absolute risk, hazard ratios, and “number needed to treat” [1:08:15]; How to interpret confidence intervals [1:18:00]; Why a study might be stopped before its completion [1:24:00]; Why only a fraction of studies are ever published and how to combat publication bias [1:32:00]; Frequency of training for Olympic weightlifting [1:22:15]; How post-activation potentiation (and the opposite) can improve power training and speed training [1:24:30]; The Strongman competition: more breadth of movement, strength, and stamina [1:32:00]; Why certain journals are more respected than others [1:41:00]; Peter's process when reading a scientific paper [1:44:15]; and More.
