Dr. Nina Shapiro, Pediatric ENT in LA and Author of “The Ultimate Kids’ Guide to Being Super Healthy”, joins John Landecker to talk about Skittles being sued over a claim the candy contains titanium dioxide.

Dr. Nina Shapiro is the Director of Pediatric Otolaryngology and a Professor of Head and Neck Surgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. A graduate of Harvard Medical School and Cornell University, she completed her surgical residency at Harvard and finished additional subspecialty training in pediatric otolaryngology at the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London and the Children's Hospital of San Diego. When she has downtime between cases, you'd think she'd be scrolling or posting on social media, where she is very active, but no, she spends that time writing, both articles for the lay media and books! She also has over 80 peer-reviewed publications and over 200 presentations. For perspective, I have 3. She's on the show today to talk about her book, HYPE: A Doctor's Guide to Medical Myths, Exaggerated Claims and Bad Advice – How to Tell What's Real and What's Not We often hear pseudoscientific claims from our patients and even our colleagues, so we start with the incident that motivated her to write the book, Hype, that she has fallen for - a recent diet fad that she thinks actually lives up to the hype. We also talk about how she navigates conversations with patients when they bring up pseudoscience. She can be found on Twitter and Instagram @drninashapiro and on her website, also DrNinaShapiro.com.

We were floored. She is the go to physician in LA and around the world for the treatment of truly challenging cases in Pediatric Otolaryngology and she is a brilliant and calming voice in the medical world in general.We liked her so much that after the recording we asked if we could be best friends (not kidding) and she made us like Dave Price even more.Read all about Nina and her 3 books here: http://drninashapiro.com and you can find all of her social media and media appearances there too.This podcast is not affiliated with or sponsored by Cornell University.

We talk with Dr. Nina Shapiro about the importance of effective communication of medical information to patients, and helping them avoid bad medical advice. She is author of the book "Hype: A Doctor's Guide to Medical Myths, Exaggerated Claims, and Bad Advice - How to Tell What's Real and What's Not". --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Edward Jones https://www.backtable.com/401k --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/5yOsLX --- SHOW NOTES In this episode, pediatric otolaryngologist and author Dr. Nina Shapiro joins Dr. Gopi Shah and Dr. Ashley Agan to discuss writing for non-medical audiences, addressing health misinformation, and overcoming our own physician biases. Dr. Shapiro discusses her journey towards authorship. As her children entered school, she had begun communicating information about common ENT issues to other parents. This passion evolved into writing op-eds, blog articles, and eventually, books. Her audiences are both medical and non-medical, and she discusses the differences in writing for each type. We talk about concepts from her newest book, “Hype,” which aims to address popular health concerns, de-bunk media myths, and encourage readers to be intelligent consumers of health information and products. We dive into “The Curse of the Original Belief,” the idea that we are biased towards seeking out new information that confirms what we already believe. Dr. Shapiro offers guidance for physicians when they converse with patients who have been misinformed by Internet sources. Her overall strategy is to listen to patients' fears, be patient, and follow up with them. Finally, she encourages all practitioners to keep an open mind and stay flexible, as new research can change long-standing beliefs and recommendations. --- RESOURCES Dr. Shapiro's website and books- http://drninashapiro.com/ Dr. Shapiro's Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook: @DrNinaShaprio

Coronavirus Quarantine Tips (0:33)Nina Shapiro, MD, professor, UCLA, author of “Hype: A Doctor's Guide to Medical Myths”So school is canceled, meetings of more than 50 people are canceled and you're working from home because of the coronavirus pandemic.  But you feel fine and so do your kids. As far as you know you haven't come into contact with anyone who has the virus. Do you and your family really need to stay locked down? The CIA's Failed Quest to Develop Mind Control (11:55)Guest: Stephen Kinzer, Author of “Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control”The CIA has developed the ability to reprogram minds and wipe away inconvenient memories. At least in the movies, it can. That's what the CIA did to assassin Jason Bourne once they were finished with him. And that's where the Men in Black got their flashing pen-like “neutralizer” to erase knowledge of aliens from ordinary folks. So that's all fun and fiction, but for 10 years during the Cold War, the CIA really did have a secret mind control project. Instead of flashing pens, they were experimenting with LSD. And instead of a little harmless amnesia about aliens, the CIA was wreaking havoc on the minds of prisoners, children, sex workers and even some of their own government employees. (Originally aired 11/7/2019) Why It's Not all Doom and Gloom When it Comes to Climate Change (49:30)Guest: Alejandro Frid, Ecologist and Science Coordinator, Central Coast Indigenous Resource Alliance, Author of “Changing Tides: An Ecologist's Journey to Make Peace with the Anthropocene”Humans are ruining the planet. That's the key message you might take away from the steady warnings about climate change and carbon emissions. The atmosphere and oceans are warming. Droughts, wildfires and storms are getting more intense. Species are going rapidly extinct. Pollution threatens our drinking water. And basically, it's too late to reverse course. We're headed for a climate apocalypse unless the whole planet ditches fossil fuels and stops eating meat right now. I wish I were exaggerating here, but honestly, that's how dire and hopeless the situation feels. Still, marine ecologist Alejandro Frid thinks there is room for optimism. (Originally aired 12/5/2019) You Know You're a Standup Economist if...You're Yoram Bauman (1:25:41)Guest: Yoram Bauman, Standup Economist, Co-Author “Cartoon Introduction to Economics” and “Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change”Yoram Bauman travels the country trying to make people laugh at college gatherings and corporate events. He introduces himself as the “world's first and only standup economist.” Jokes about economics can be tricky, but if you get the right crowd, Bauman kills. And there's enough demand for economist jokes that this has been Bauman's full-time gig for a decade. (Originally aired 12/5/2019)
