Today, we're diving into a topic raising concerns in the food world—microplastics. They're tiny, they're everywhere, and they're making their way into our diets. So, let's break it down into three essential things you need to know about microplastics.Microplastics are tiny plastic particles, usually less than five millimeters in size. They come from various sources, including broken-down plastic waste, synthetic fibers from clothing, and even microbeads once used in personal care products. Over time, plastics degrade due to sunlight, heat, and mechanical stress, breaking down into smaller and smaller particles. And here's the kicker: once they're in the environment, they don't just disappear. They accumulate.2. How Are Microplastics Getting Into Our Food?Microplastics have infiltrated the food chain in ways we might not even realize. Studies have found them in seafood, bottled water, salt, honey, beer, and fresh produce. Fish and shellfish ingest microplastics in the ocean, and when we eat them whole—like oysters or sardines—we're also consuming those particles. But it doesn't stop at seafood. Plastics in soil and water affect crops; even our packaging can shed microplastics into food. In short, we're likely consuming plastic in small doses every day.3. What Does This Mean for Our Health?Now, this is where things get a bit murky. While research is ongoing, early studies suggest that microplastics could carry harmful chemicals, disrupt hormones, and even cause inflammation when they accumulate. Scientists are concerned about long-term exposure, and while the exact risks aren't entirely known, minimizing our intake of microplastics seems like a wise precaution.What Can We Do About It?As consumers and culinary professionals, we can take a few steps to reduce our exposure: • Filter your water – Many microplastics are found in tap and bottled water so that a high-quality filter can help. • Reduce plastic packaging – Opt for glass, stainless steel, or natural materials for food storage. • Eat fresh, unprocessed foods – Packaged foods often contain microplastics from processing and packaging. • Support sustainable practices – Reduce single-use plastics and support brands actively working to minimize plastic pollution.More podcasts and videos from Chef Walter

The episode covers recommended dosages, food sources rich in vitamin D, and best practices for supplementation, highlighting the necessity of testing vitamin D levels for personalized health management.Takeaways: Vitamin D is crucial during winter months due to lack of sunlight.Vitamin D3 is more effective than D2 for raising blood levels.Vitamin D supports bone health, immune function, and mental well-being.Women in menopause need to monitor their vitamin D levels closely.Testing vitamin D levels is essential for determining supplementation needs.Food sources of vitamin D include fatty fish, egg yolks, and mushrooms.Supplementation is often necessary to meet vitamin D needs.Cod liver oil is a beneficial supplement for vitamin D.Vitamin D3 should be taken with healthy fats for better absorption.Vitamin D3 is essential for overall health, not just a recommendation.Chapters00:00 The Importance of Vitamin D in Winter02:51 Understanding Vitamin D3: The Superior Choice06:09 Vitamin D and Women's Health: Menopause Insights08:59 Recommended Dosages of Vitamin D312:10 Food Sources of Vitamin D18:02 Supplementation: Best Practices for Vitamin D21:51 Conclusion and Call to ActionBlog Post: Vitamin D Benefits for Perimenopausal WomenSupport the showWebsite: https://functionalhealthcoaching.net/Please support this podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1393414/supporters/new Join my emailing list for weekly updates including podcast episodes and fun things about health and wellness https://bit.ly/intheknowemailLike Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/therootofourhealth/Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/therootofourhealthSubscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@therootofourhealthEmail me: therootofourhealth@gmail.com

Many factors influence our health, and among the most crucial are the regulatory agencies responsible for overseeing food, drugs, and public health. The FDA, USDA, CDC, and EPA are tasked with protecting us, but they aren't perfect. Some policies and practices are outdated, leaving us vulnerable to health risks. Reforming these agencies, empowered by artificial intelligence (AI) and greater transparency, could ensure a healthier future for all Americans.

Did you know that your skin's health is a direct reflection of your overall well-being? In this week's episode, Dr. Mina and Dr. Cory Goldberg explore the powerful connection between skin health and lifestyle choices, emphasizing how diet, sun protection, and habits impact the way our skin looks and ages.

Healthspan, healthy ageing, and chronic disease are pivotal topics in today's health discourse, emphasizing not just the length of life but the quality of those additional years. Focusing on healthspan means striving for a longer period of life free from disease and disability, which is increasingly important as global life expectancies rise. Healthy ageing involves adopting lifestyle habits that promote physical, mental, and social well-being throughout the lifespan, thereby reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. Addressing chronic diseases risk requires a proactive approach centered on prevention and early intervention. By prioritizing healthspan and healthy ageing, individuals can significantly decrease the likelihood of developing chronic illnesses, leading to improved quality of life and reduced healthcare costs. Sigma Nutrition Radio has consistently addressed these critical themes across many episodes. In this episode, we go back over some of the best episodes of 2024 in this area, including discussions on Alzheimer's, cholesterol-lowering medications, impact of exercise, and the debate about red meat.

[SEGMENT 2-1] Our Health in 2025 1 RFK Jr.'s Health Revolution and What It Means for America in 2025 When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. threw his hat into the presidential race, he brought a fresh focus on a subject many Americans had been ignoring: their health. RFK Jr. has been outspoken on everything from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in our food to the overuse of vaccines, and Americans are beginning to listen. Health isn't just an abstract idea or a checkbox on a New Year's resolution list. It's the foundation of everything we do. And as the saying goes, “No one on their deathbed wishes they'd spent more time at work—they wish they'd had more time, period.”RFK Jr.'s Vision for a Healthier America The GMO Battle One of RFK Jr.'s most passionate issues is the elimination of GMOs in our food supply. He argues that GMOs, heavily reliant on pesticides like glyphosate (found in Roundup), are linked to numerous health concerns, including cancer and hormonal disruptions. His administration would likely push for stricter labeling and possibly even a ban on certain GMOs in favor of organic and regenerative farming practices.The Science Behind It: Studies have shown that countries banning or heavily regulating GMOs tend to have fewer pesticide-related illnesses and higher biodiversity in their ecosystemsing Vaccination Schedules** Kennedy has long advocated for safer vaccines and more research into their long-term effects. He isn't anti-vaccine, but pro-transparency. He questions why the United States has one of the most aggressive childhood vaccination schedules in the world, while chronic illnesses among children, such as autism and autoimmune disorders, continue to rise.Potential Policies: Under RFK Jr., the CDC could face a major overhaul. Vaccines would likely undergo more rigorous independent testing, and parents might have greater flexibility in opting out without punitive measures.[SEGMENT 2-2] Our Health in 2025 2   [X] SB RFK Jr on vaccines for children – partial Measles and mumps 1964 300-400; malnourished WHO says Vitamin A was a cure for measles I learn something new every time I listen to this guy. What do you really know about childhood diseases? I know very little. I certainly didn't know that Vitamin A can kill the measles. We just do what we are told, because the experts say. When in fact there are so many other things that work. I'm bringing in the big guns later to discuss more about what we don't know.   Nutritional Overhaul Kennedy plans to challenge the corporate influence on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA). He's critical of how processed foods and sugar-laden diets have contributed to skyrocketing rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.The Agenda: Expect a push for healthier school lunches, restrictions on misleading advertising for processed foods, and funding for public health campaigns that focus on nutrition.What Americans Expect in 2025 A recent poll revealed that improving personal health is a top priority for 2025. The survey found that:70% of Americans plan to prioritize better eating habits.60% aim to exercise more regularly.50% want to minimize stress and focus on mental health .RFK Jr.'s canse sentiments, appealing to a public increasingly skeptical of Big Pharma and government agencies like the FDA.Why Americans Are Waking Up RFK Jr.'s messaging resonates because, for years, Americans trusted federal agencies to keep their food and drugs safe. But scandals and failures—like the opioid epidemic, COVID-19 policies, and J6 revelations—have eroded that trust. Take the FDA's approval of certain harmful additives or the USDA's coziness with agribusiness giants like Monsanto. Americans are starting to ask, “Are they protecting us or their donors?” For athletes like me, the stakes are even higher. I spent years focused on performance, but neglected the basics like nutrition and recovery. If I'd had RFK Jr. whispering in my ear, I might have reached another level. And let's be real: most of us don't even read labels. RFK Jr.'s push to remove GMOs and toxins from our food would make healthy choices a no-brainer.Psychology of Good Health Good health isn't just about the body; it's a state of mind. Studies show that people who feel in control of their health tend to have better outcomes. It's about empowerment—making informed decisions and not blindly trusting “experts” who often have financial conflicts of interest. If RFK Jr. has done anything, it's wake us up to our role in the fight for better health. He's the first politician in years to make the connection between individual health and national prosperity.What Will You Do Differently in 2025? For me, 2025 is about accountability:Reading labels.Reducing sugar and processed foods.Supporting local farmers over corporate giants.RFK Jr. isn't just leading a political movement; he's inspiring a health revolution. It's a reminder that the ultimate freedom isn't just political—it's the freedom to live a long, healthy life.Title Suggestions:"RFK Jr.'s Health Revolution: Why 2025 Will Be the Year of the Wake-Up Call""From GMOs to Vaccines: The Health Overhaul Americans Didn't Know They Needed""RFK Jr. and the Fight for Your Plate—and Your Freedom"With RFK Jr. at the helm, 2025 might be the year we stop trusting the government to care about our health and start taking matters into our own hands. It's about time.        [SEGMENT 2-3] BiOptimizers Interview 1   Wade Lightheart Bio Wade T.

It's essential for muscle and nerve function, blood sugar control, and bone health. Research suggests magnesium deficiencies, often exacerbated by the prevalence of processed foods and additives in the modern diet, may contribute to chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and neurological disorders​ Cha Ching Queen Washington Examiner  [SEGMENT 2-4] BiOptimizers 2 RFK Jr. and Food AdditivesRobert F. Kennedy Jr. has drawn attention to the negative impacts of food additives, including synthetic dyes, GMOs, and pesticides like glyphosate. He highlights the need for stricter regulations, as many of these substances are linked to behavioral issues in children and long-term health risks like cancer and obesity. For example, glyphosate, widely used in agriculture, has been implicated in wheat and corn allergies, as well as the obesity epidemic. Kennedy's advocacy emphasizes the urgency of reforming food safety practices to prioritize public health​​ Light Wave How Magnesium Interacts with AdditivesMagnesium is particularly relevant in this context because many artificial additives and ultra-processed foods disrupt its absorption. Additives such as phosphates, commonly found in sodas and processed meats, can interfere with magnesium metabolism. Moreover, magnesium deficiency is associated with increased inflammation and oxidative stress, making it harder for the body to combat the toxic effects of these additives​ RFK Jr.'s Plans for ReformKennedy proposes a dramatic overhaul of food safety, targeting GMOs, harmful dyes, and excessive pesticide use. He has called for more transparent labeling and stricter testing of food products to minimize exposure to these potentially harmful substances. This aligns with broader health initiatives that include reevaluating vaccination schedules and reducing reliance on products that prioritize profit over safety​. A Shift Towards Better Health in 2025As Americans become more aware of the link between diet and chronic illness, surveys suggest they are seeking ways to improve their health. This includes increasing magnesium intake through whole foods like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

If you stopped eating eggs for fear it could raise your cholesterol, or you avoided giving peanuts to your toddler to prevent allergies, or you stayed away from hormone replacement therapy because you were told it could cause breast cancer — you are a victim of what Dr. Marty Makary calls “medical dogma.” Long known as an iconoclast in the medical community, Dr. Makary's latest book, “Blind Spots,” examines how health care can go so wrong. He chalks much of it to groupthink and a growing inability for science to identify its own biases. His diagnosis? Humility. “Medical science is about transparency and civil discourse. Great ideas and truths have always emerged from a healthy debate within the scientific community,” he tells Kerri Miller on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas. “And tragically, what we've seen in the modern era is a small group of people making the decisions for everybody — many times with a paternalist and hierarchical philosophy.”Guest: Dr. Marty Makary is a surgeon and public health researcher at Johns Hopkins University. His newest book is “Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health.”

In this episode of 'Hot for Your Health,' Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with Dr. Marty Makary, a three-time New York Times bestselling author, public health expert, and prominent surgeon at Johns Hopkins University. Known for his advocacy on healthcare reform, transparency, and cost reduction, Dr. Makary has published over 250 scientific articles and garnered acclaim for his influential books, including his latest release, Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets it Wrong and What It Means for Our Health. Dr. Makary and Dr. Wright dive into critical issues in modern medicine, exploring how a focus on symptoms over root causes—such as diet and environmental factors—is affecting chronic health nationwide. They discuss the importance of preventative care, advocating for a healthcare system that prioritizes education on lifestyle and environmental health over expensive interventions. Dr. Makary shares insights on rebuilding patient trust and educating future physicians to value both work-life balance and compassionate, patient-centered care. Listen in as they explore how empowering individuals and addressing healthcare's "blind spots" can transform our approach to wellness and longevity. ••• Connect with Dr. Marty Makary: Website: https://www.martymd.com/  Book Link: https://geni.us/blindspots X: https://x.com/martymakary?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martymakary/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marty.makary ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com ••• If you enjoyed this episode, Subscribe to “HOT For Your Health” for more inspiring episodes.

In this fascinating episode with Dr. Marty Makary, the author of the jaw-dropping book, Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health, you'll get to explore how outdated medical advice contributed to the rise of peanut allergies, and how rushed decisions by medical committees have shaped harmful medical guidelines in America. Dr. Makary reveals the overuse of antibiotics and its disruption of the microbiome, contributing to chronic conditions like obesity, asthma, and learning disabilities. You'll also discover the impact of C-section births on microbiome health, the controversy surrounding breast implant illness, and how modern newborn care practices like delayed cord clamping can promote long-term health. Additionally, we'll dive into the overmedicalization of routine procedures like tongue-tie surgeries, the need for NIH reforms to address neglected areas of health research, and much more! Dr. Marty Makary is the recipient of the 2020 Business Book of the Year Award for his most recent book, The Price We Pay, which has been described by Steve Forbes as “a must-read for every American.” His latest book, "Blind Spots," which we discuss on today's show, is an eye-opening look at scientific research on health topics that have been overlooked or dismissed because of medical groupthink. When modern medicine issues recommendations based on good scientific studies, it shines. Conversely, when modern medicine is interpreted through the harsh lens of opinion and edict, it can mold beliefs that harm patients and stunt research for decades. So, tune in as Dr. Makary explores the latest research on critical topics ranging from the microbiome to childbirth to nutrition and longevity and more, revealing the biggest blind spots of modern medicine and tackling the most urgent yet unsung issues in the U.S.'s $4.5 trillion health care ecosystem.

In this insightful interview, Dr. Marty Makary speaks candidly about pressing issues within the U.S. healthcare system. He addresses how current debates often divert attention from core challenges, framing healthcare as a divisive landscape when the real focus should be on patient-centered care and meaningful provider support. Dr. Makary calls on policymakers and leaders to look past polarizing discussions and work toward reforms that prioritize quality, accessibility, and integrity in practice. Watch as he delves into the testimony of healthcare professionals and advocates who, for the first time, shared their insights directly with national leaders in a recent Senate hearing. This is a powerful moment for those committed to bridging the gap between healthcare policies and the actual needs of patients and providers. Join us for a closer look at what meaningful change could look like in our healthcare system. *Expert Featured* Martin Makary, MD, MPH X: @MartyMakary https://www.linkedin.com/in/martymakary/ _Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health_ : https://a.co/d/eQafyeh About us: Metabolic Mind is a non-profit initiative of Baszucki Group working to transform the study and treatment of mental disorders by exploring the connection between metabolism and brain health.

As the Medicare enrollment period gets underway again, we welcome Dr. Adam Gaffney to remind us the ways all those heavily advertised Medicare Advantage programs are ripping you off. Then we receive another house call from Dr. Marty Makary, author of Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health about the effect of medical groupthink on all kinds of accepted treatments from peanut allergies to opioid addiction. Finally, founder of Media Matters, David Brock stops by to discuss his latest book, Stench: The Making of the Thomas Court and the Unmaking of America.Dr. Adam Gaffney is a physician, writer, public health researcher, and advocate. Dr. Gaffney practices at the Cambridge Health Alliance and is an Assistant Professor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School. A member of the Cambridge Health Justice Lab, his research focuses on healthcare financing, reform, and equity, and disparities in lung health. He writes about the policy, politics, and history of health care, and is the author of To Heal Humankind: The Right to Health in History.The reality is we don't need Medigap. We could plug those holes with public coverage. There's no reason to have a role for private insurers to cover a slice of our healthcare when all seniors need the same thing—which is comprehensive universal care.  There's no need for these private stopgap measures, when what we need is a public system of universal care.Dr. Adam GaffneyI do think there's growing interest among physicians in change. Their bosses are increasingly these for-profit companies whose mission is not really medicine. Their mission is money. And what we need to do is to rethink our healthcare system, so it serves communities, is owned by communities, and it returns us to the underlying reason why we went into this profession—which is to help patients, and not to pad the pockets of shareholders.Dr. Adam GaffneyDr. Marty Makary is a Johns Hopkins professor and member of the National Academy of Medicine. He is the author of two New York Times best-selling books, Unaccountable and The Price We Pay. Dr. Makary has written for the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and the New York Times, and he has published more than 250 scientific research articles. He served in leadership at the W.H.O. and has been a visiting professor at 25 medical schools. His latest book is Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health.For most of human history, doctors were respected, but maybe like you would respect your hairdresser, or maybe a clergy member in the community. And we didn't have many tools as doctors. We had a lancet, we had a saw to do amputations, we had a couple of drugs that didn't work or were counterproductive like digoxin. And then what happened in 1922 is Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin. And by the post-World War II era in the 1940s and '50s, we saw the mass production of antibiotics. That ushered in the white coat era of medicine. Doctors began to wear a white coat. They now had the power to prescribe a magical pill that could cure disease, make childbirth safe, enable surgeons to do procedures safer. And this ushered in this new unquestioned authority. And what happened was, physicians as a class took advantage of this unquestioned authority.Dr. Marty MakaryDavid Brock is a Democratic activist and founder of Media Matters for America, a progressive media watchdog group. Following the 2010 elections, Mr. Brock founded the Super PAC American Bridge, which works to elect Democrats. He is a New York Times best-selling author, and his books include the memoir Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative, Killing the Messenger: The Right Wing Plot to Hijack Your Government, and his latest book is Stench: The Making of the Thomas Court and the Unmaking of America.The Federalist Society was originally founded by three rightwing law students. And it was pitched as a debating society. So I don't think in the original incarnation, they had a master plan. But soon enough, they realized that membership in the Federalist Society could confer on people a certain imprimatur for appointments—and that's appointments not only to the federal judiciary, but all through the executive branch.David BrockThe scheme to overturn Roe has been going on for all these decades. There were setbacks, of course, because there were times when Republican appointees ended up being independent—Sandra Day O 'Connor, for example, David Souter, for example—and the right was defeated in their effort to overturn Roe. So it took a while and it took a lot of steadfast, patient spending of money on their crusade.David Brock[This is] a time when the Biden regime is supporting the destruction of the ancient land of Lebanon— whom he's called in prior years an ally. He's letting Netanyahu destroy Lebanon with the same tactics that Netanyahu applied to the genocide in Gaza.Ralph NaderIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 10/23/241. Last week, Israel announced they had killed longtime Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. As NBC put it, the footage of his death released by Israel “showed Sinwar not hiding in a tunnel surrounded by hostages — as Israeli officials often claimed he was — but aboveground and hurling a stick at a drone with his last ounce of strength.” American political leaders, such as Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders, are seeking to use Sinwar's death to argue that Israel has accomplished its mission and should therefore conclude its genocidal campaign in Gaza. Israeli leaders however have made it abundantly clear that they have no intention of pulling out of Gaza, with Benny Gantz – chairman of Israel's National Unity Party and among Prime Minister Netanyahu's chief political rivals – stating that the Israeli military “will continue to operate in the Gaza Strip for years to come,” per Al Jazeera.2. According to POLITICO, during an August 29th meeting in Washington Lise Grande, the top U.S. official working on the humanitarian situation in Gaza told the leaders of more than a dozen aid organizations that “the U.S. would not consider withholding weapons from Israel for blocking food and medicine from entering [Gaza].” It is illegal to block the delivery of humanitarian assistance under both American and international human rights law. As the paper notes, Grande's “candid assessment…raises questions about the seriousness of recent Biden administration threats to [withhold arms].” One attendee told POLITICO “[Grande] was saying that the rules don't apply to Israel.”3. Meanwhile, Israel continues its war on the United Nations mission in Lebanon. On October 20th, UNIFIL released a statement saying “Earlier today, an IDF bulldozer deliberately demolished an observation tower and perimeter fence of a UN position in Marwahin…The IDF has repeatedly demanded that UNIFIL vacate its positions along the Blue Line and has deliberately damaged UN positions. Despite the pressure being exerted on the mission and our troop-contributing countries…We will continue to undertake our mandated tasks.” UNIFIL added “Yet again, we note that breaching a UN position and damaging UN assets is a flagrant violation of international law and Security Council resolution 1701.”4. In a frankly dystopian story from the United Kingdom, British counterterrorism police “raided the home and seized several electronic devices belonging to The Electronic Intifada's associate editor Asa Winstanley,” despite the fact that Winstanley has not been charged with any offense. Electronic Intifada reports the raid was conducted under sections 1 and 2 of the 2006 “Terrorism Act,” which deal with the “encouragement of terrorism.” Human Rights Watch has previously urged the British government to repeal the repressive provisions of the 2006 act noting that “the definition of the encouragement of terrorism offense is overly broad, raising serious concerns about undue infringement on free speech.” Electronic Intifada further notes “In August, Britain's Crown Prosecution Service issued a warning to the British public to ‘think before you post' and threatening that it would prosecute anyone it deemed guilty of what it calls ‘online violence.'” Winstanley is the author of Weaponising Anti-Semitism: How the Israel Lobby Brought Down Jeremy Corbyn and has been interviewed by the Capitol Hill Citizen.5. According to the Libertarian magazine Reason, Bob Woodward's new book War includes a passage about a “shockingly blunt conversation,” between President Biden and Republican Senator Lindsey Graham regarding “Biden's attempts to negotiate a ‘megadeal' between the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.” Per Reason “Graham reportedly said that only Biden could secure a U.S.-Saudi defense treaty, because it would ‘take a Democratic president to convince Democrats to vote to go to war for Saudi Arabia'” Biden's response? “Let's do it.” Furthermore, reports indicate this security pact only fell apart after October 7th, with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman seeing a prominent deal with Israel at that time as a major political liability. Reason cites an article from the Atlantic in January wherein Salman reportedly told Secretary of State Antony Blinken “Do I care personally about the Palestinian issue? I don't, but my people do…Half my advisers say that the deal is not worth the risk. I could end up getting killed because of this deal.”6. In more international news, the Cuban energy grid collapsed on Friday, under strain from Hurricane Oscar. The complete grid collapse left the entire country of 10 million without electricity, per NPR. Reuters reports that over the weekend, the grid failed three more times as authorities sought to restore power. Brasil de Fato, or BdF, a Brazilian socialist news service, reports China, Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, Russia and Barbados are offering support to Cuba amid the total blackout. BdF further reports “The Alba Movimientos platform, which brings together more than 400 organizations from 25 countries, issued a statement...[saying] ‘No one can attribute this virtual collapse of the Cuban electricity system to a specific measure by the US government – that would be too simplistic…this is'“the result of a long strategy of planned destruction of the material and spiritual living conditions of the Cuban population…with the financial resources denied to Cuba due to the blockade policy, 18 days of accumulated damages equal the annual cost of maintaining the country's electricity system.” According to the UN, the U.S. embargo cost Cuba $13 million US dollars per day between 2022 and 2023 alone.7. A new scandal has rocked American Higher Education. Inside Higher Ed reports “Last week a lawsuit accused 40 colleges and universities, as well as the nonprofit College Board, of participating in a price-fixing conspiracy to jack up tuition rates” specifically, for children of divorced parents. The scheme itself had to do with consideration of the non-custodial parent's income, but the larger issue at stake here is the fact that the universities entered into a “cartel” in violation of antitrust laws. As this piece notes this is the “second major price-fixing antitrust lawsuit filed against highly selective universities since 2022, when 17 institutions…were accused of illegally colluding to set common financial aid formulas. So far, 10 of those institutions have settled for a combined $248 million.”8. Boeing has offered their striking machinists a new deal, which they hope will end their crippling strike. ABC reports “The new offer delivers a 35% raise over the four-year duration of the contract,” which is short of the 40% raise demanded by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers but considerably better than the aerospace titan's previous offer of 25%. ABC continues “The proposal also hikes Boeing's contribution to a 401(k) plan, but it declines to fulfill workers' call for a reinstatement of the company's defined pension.” As this piece notes, the machinists overwhelmingly rejected Boeing's previous offer last month; this week they will vote on the new proposal. Whatever the details of the final contract, this episode clearly demonstrates the power of a union, even going up against one of the most powerful corporations in America.9. A stunning CNN investigation reveals the extent of predatory fundraising by the major parties off of elderly people suffering from dementia or other forms of cognitive decline in their old age. According to “More than 1,000 reports filed with government agencies and consumer advocacy groups… deceptive political fundraisers have victimized hundreds of elderly Americans…into giving away millions of dollars.” These heartbreaking stories concern “Donors…often in their 80s and 90s…[including] retired public workers, house cleaners and veterans, widows living alone, nursing home residents…[with] money…from pensions, Social Security payments and retirement savings accounts meant to last decades.” To cite just one just one shocking example: “[an] 82-year-old woman, who wore pajamas with holes in them because she didn't want to spend money on new ones, didn't realize she had given Republicans more than $350,000 while living in a 1,000 square-foot Baltimore condo since 2020.”10. Finally, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has sent a letter to Rodney McMullen, Chairman and CEO of Kroger, decrying the company's “decision to roll out surge pricing using facial recognition technology.” Specifically, Tlaib cites concerns about price manipulation based on external factors like supply as well as discrimination based on race, gender, and other criteria determined through facial recognition. Tlaib ends this letter with six key questions, including “Will Kroger use…facial recognition to display targeted advertisements…?…What safeguards will be in pace?…[and] Are there plans to sell data collected in the store?” among others. Grocery prices continue to be a source of everyday economic hardship for working Americans and corporations are increasingly interested in surge pricing for essential goods. There is some comfort in knowing at least one member of Congress is concerned about this dangerous combination.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

The race for the White House is entering its final phase as the calendar changes to October this week, and some experts are saying the contest could come down to one small part of the nation, Nebraska's second district. The state, that splits its presidential delegates, has only awarded a Democrat a delegate in that district twice since 1992, but Democrats are hopeful they can win to avoid a potential tie in the Electoral College. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) joins the Rundown to discuss the importance of Nebraska's “blue dot” district, reacts to Vice President Harris' visit to the southern border, and shares his thoughts on Israel's strike against Hezbollah that killed its leader Hassan Nasrallah. Almost half of the population in the United States has been diagnosed with a chronic disease. Yet, many are considered to be diet-related, such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. As the U.S. gets sicker, Dr. Marty Makary thinks it's time for a wider conversation regarding the nation's health. Dr. Makary, a surgeon and professor at Johns Hopkins University, joins to discuss his new book Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health.

“We must protect science from politics!” science journalists shouted from 2017 to 2021. Then yesterday, the editors of Scientific American – the oldest ‘continuously published magazine' in the USA, with contributors including Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla – endorsed their second presidential candidate in the publication's 179-year history: Kamala Harris. Their first endorsement? Joe Biden in 2020. The publication had only a few positive words about the previous administration and “Operation Warp Speed, which developed effective COVID vaccines extremely quickly.” Should science publications stay out of politics – and how can scientists rebuild their credibility as nonpartisan, unbiased truth seekers?

It was based on one guy: Dr. Ancel Keys,” says Dr. Makary.How can America reverse the trend of chronic disease and poor metabolic health?

This episode is brought to you by Momentous, Lifeforce, and Lumebox.   We are spending more on healthcare than ever before, yet our population is sicker than ever. The healthcare system is flawed, and the focus on true health seems misplaced within the traditional system. What's at the root of this broken system and the advice being given to the public? Today's guest is here to share his expertise on the healthcare system and highlight its Blind Spots. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Marty Makary to discuss how decisions in healthcare are often made by a small, centralized group based on dogma rather than actual scientific evidence. Dr. Makary explains how this groupthink mentality has led to a reluctance to consider alternative opinions and a fear among physicians of being labeled if they criticize these decisions. He provides examples of how such decisions have resulted in poor outcomes and eroded public trust. Dr. Makary emphasizes that humility and a willingness to learn beyond what was taught in medical school are crucial for focusing on science and providing the best guidance for patients. Dr. Marty Makary is a renowned surgeon, professor, and author recognized for his contributions to public health, healthcare innovation, and patient safety. He serves as a professor of Surgery and Health Policy at Johns Hopkins University, where he has led initiatives to improve the quality of healthcare delivery. He is known for his research and advocacy on issues such as medical transparency, over-treatment, and the use of video technology to improve patient care. His newest book, Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health, is set to release September 17th.  In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Makary dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): The hijacking of our entire approach to healthcare and the consequences (00:00:20 / 00:00:20) Groupthink and fear of criticizing ideas (05:23 / 05:23) Lessons from peanut allergies (13:59 / 10:53) The motivation behind these grand opinions (20:16 / 17:10) The value of diverse opinions (26:56 / (20:50 ) The history behind the low-fat trend and cholesterol research (39:06 / 33:00) The importance of asking questions and true humility (46:06 / 41:00) Topics Dr. Makary is paying attention to (50:56 / (45:50) How do we change the process?

More Americans have peanut allergies today than at any point in history. Why? In 2000, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a strict recommendation that parents avoid giving their children peanut products until they're three years old. Getting the science perfectly backward, triggering intolerance with lack of early exposure, the US now leads the world in peanut allergies-and this misinformation is still rearing its head today.How could the experts have gotten it so wrong? Could it be that many modern-day health crises have been caused by the hubris of the medical establishment? Experts said for decades that opioids were not addictive, igniting the opioid crisis. They demonized natural fat in foods, driving Americans to processed carbohydrates as obesity rates soared.These failures of medical groupthink have been seen throughout history. Philosophers of the 16th century who claimed that blood circulated throughout the body (instead of resting in a layer below the epidermis) faced capital punishment. James Lind, who discovered that Vitamin C prevented scurvy, was ignored for 40 years. Ignaz Semmelweis was rejected by the medical community for suggesting that doctors should perhaps wash their hands before operating on patients.Today's guest is Marty Makary, author of “Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What it Means for Our Health.” We see how when modern medicine issues recommendations based on good scientific studies, it shines. Conversely, when medicine is interpreted through the harsh lens of opinion and edict, it can mold beliefs that harm patients and stunt research for decades.
