Turmeric: It can kill youTurmeric is from the root of a flowering plant (Curcuma longa of the ginger family Zingiberaceae), known for being anti-inflammatory. Because of its anti-inflammatory nature, turmeric is one of the most common supplements I am asked about during my TikTok live sessions. This is because people like a "natural" anti-inflammatory supplement rather than over-the-counter medications.SupplementsSupplements are excluded from "black box warnings." Those warnings you see in the package inserts in pharmaceuticals. This article is meant to provide references for those interested in doing more research about Tumeric to realize it is not benign.Turmeric has many potential applications for cancer, brain injury, and many other diseases. The key is knowing what dose of turmeric is toxic, what dose is effective, and what dose is ineffective. We also need to know how to mitigate potential dangers.Contrast with AspirinAspirin is a known anti-inflammatory agent with many uses. Since aspirin is regulated, we know the dose effect of aspirin. If you have a headache, the 81 mg dose of aspirin will not relieve your headache. But the 325 mg dose will decrease headache. And you know that taking two hundred tablets of aspirin is a toxic dose.A single aspirin can cause a bleeding ulcer, which may lead to death. Some people are allergic to aspirin, and an allergic reaction can lead to death.What we don't know is the effective dose of Turmeric or the lethal dose of it in that supplement bottle. But we know that turmeric, curcumin can lead to liver injury and death.Turmeric and Liver InjuryToxicity is always in the dose. High curcumin levels, the active ingredient in turmeric, have caused liver damage (Ref 1-13). To quote from one of the references:Liver injury due to turmeric appears to be increasing in the United States, perhaps reflecting usage patterns or increased combination with black pepper. (2)Turmeric and CookingThere is no danger in using turmeric as a spice in cooking. First, because your intestines do not absorb turmeric well. Unlike a supplement, which has high doses of curcumin. In addition, supplements also have black pepper, which increases absorption. Since turmeric has a mild anti-inflammatory component, this might have limited benefits as part of a healthy diet. Tumeric belongs in the cabinet, not in a capsule.TEXT FROM THE PODCASTYou probably have some turmeric in your herb and spice drawer.You've probably heard that Turmeric's active ingredient Curcumin has anti-inflammatory properties and has been used for centuries as an “ancient” medicine.That yellow powder comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, a member of the ginger family.Turmeric has a warm, bitter taste, and I use it in Paella, curry, and add it to salads, rice, or other starches like pearl barley.But what you haven't heard is that too much Turmeric can kill you.Today we will make sense of the madness surrounding Turmeric. From its promise as an anti-cancer agent to its toxicity, and who should avoid it for daily use.FORK UI'm Dr. Terry Simpson, and THIS is FORK UFork UniversityWhere we make sense of the madnessBust a few myths!And teach you a little bit about food as medicine.InflammationInflammation is a complex biochemical, physiological, and even pathological process.

Diets. They work for some, but not for others. "You're just not on the right diet," purveyors of the latest trend will tell you. "You're just not on the right diet for your blood type, ethnicity, age, hair color," says another set of true believers. So what's right and what's wrong? Today on Fork U, a conversation between Dr. Terry Simpson, weight loss physician, and https://twitter.com/CaloriesProper (Dr. Bill Lagakos), nutritional biochemist and physiologist, where they expose the truth behind diets and why they may, and may not, work for you. And check out Bill's book, https://twitter.com/CaloriesProper (The Poor Misunderstood Calorie). TRANSCRIPT:Terry Simpson: Bill, there are a lot of weight loss programs out there. The one that I'm hearing the most about most often is the Keto movement, which says that they're going to cure everything from heart disease and cancer. Bill Lagakos: I think from a 30,000-foot view, Keto works for a lot of people. So does low fat. I like some of the recent work, the studies showing it's more about the level of processing of the food. So you can have a vegan diet or you can have a Ketogenic diet and as long as it is excluding a lot of processed foods, it tends to not be over eaten. And people that tout the magical benefit effects of any of these diets, 99% of the time it's due to weight loss. Terry Simpson: We actually had an experiment with Evo, who you met. He uhh did it several years, three or four years in a row for one month, Evo would go on a beer and sausage diet, rigorously kept his calories to 1500. We measured his liver function tests, his lipid panel. Every year he lost weight, kept it off, and every year his liver function was fine, surprising with the number of beers he had a day, which was limited to six. But it was, he had weight loss and he had sustained weight loss over the year with a, kind of this funky diet we sort of made up. Bill Lagakos: Well, that's terrific. And that's an awesome diet. I'm jealous. But, uh, yeah, that, that basically proves the point. I mean, even if it's not a lot of weight he lost, I think a weight loss is a major driver in a lot of the health improvements that people like to attribute to particular dietary trends. Terry Simpson: There doesn't seem to be a lot of long-term data in these diets. When I look at the sort of metadata, I see that if you eat really high on the low-fat side, you have a little lower lifespan. If you eat really high on the high-fat side, you have a little lower lifespan. If you have your carbs at about 55%, you seem to have a little longer lifespan. Is there much good data saying one diet versus another, other than the Mediterranean, has great long-term results? Bill Lagakos: I don't think so. I don't think it comes down to macros at all. I think that there's the confounding in those studies is so deep that I don't think the macronutrient composition of your diet is going to be what kills you in the end. Terry Simpson: Part of your job is helping people lose weight. What are sort of the big messages you try and get through to people? Bill Lagakos: One of the biggest things is the importance of adherence, which is why I try to say, you know, what do I know that, that you can adhere to 100%? It's what you've been doing because you've been doing it. So let's try and find the lowest hanging fruit that we can change so it doesn't turn your whole world upside down, which is something that would probably never work. Terry Simpson: So in other words, you're not going to change a Keto into a vegan or a vegan into a Keto. Bill Lagakos: Correct. However, I don't like to put those two at odds because there is, there have been a few studies on the vegan Ketogenic diet. Terry Simpson: So give me an example of some of the things for our audience, some of the things that they can do to incorporate it in their life now to help them lose weight and just feel a little better about themselves. Bill Lagakos: Well,

Dr. Terry Simpson, MD is a physician, research scientist, weight loss surgeon, cook, author, dad, and a proponent for healthy eating. "And not in that order." He's talking all aspects of food to control weight and over-all health.

In Vino, Veritas – or In Wine, Truth – by Pliny the Elder When the Holy Roman Empire was forming Charlemagne gave lands to the monks in order for them to plant vineyards to make wine for the Eucharist. Those first vineyards, planted by Benedictine monks, make some of the classic wines of all time.  Wine was in France centuries prior to Charlemagne, but it was those monks that we have a provenance of today's wine. It was also from those Monks that we got the concept of terroir. Today terroir is the “in” thing that wine sommeliers will talk about. One of the myths is that you can taste the soil of the wine.  This traces back to those monks who would taste the soil in order to determine where the best wines would come from. What those monks didn't know was that the vines get their ingredients from carbon dioxide and sunlight. Wine geology is complex, and recently Alex Maltman, a distinguished professor emeritus of geology, published a book about the geology of wine.  His book: Vineyards, Rocks, and Soils The Wine Lover's Guide to Geology is a reference guide for those who want to know more about the geology of the wines they are drinking. Dr. Maltman was also a guest on the podcast where we talked about wine geology and dispelled the myth about tasting the soil. Dr. Maltman notes that the chalk of Champagne is the soil, and the soil is important to drainage of the vine, but the plant doesn't take up chalk (which is a silicate compound), and when the inorganic compounds of chalk are broken down, and some of those minerals are taken up they are tasteless. What people taste are the many organic compounds that the plant makes from the carbon from carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and coded on the vineyards DNA. You also taste the byproducts of fermentation – as those compounds are put through yeast, bacteria. Where the confusion lies is that some of the organic compounds of the soil smell like some of the products of fermentation of the wine. The monks didn't know about photosynthesis, nor did they know about DNA encoding for the proteins and organic chemicals, nor did they understand the complex chemistry of fermentation. They just knew wine is delicious- and sometimes the soil tastes a bit like the wine, so they assumed that the vine took up the soil and put it into the grape (the wine takes up the water, not the soil). Today Sommeliers everywhere love to talk about the geology of where the wine you are buying came from. They love telling you a story – because we love stories about our food. As Maltman points out, we love to know the provenance of our food, and in an era of large multinational corporations, wine is one of the few places you can know about where a grape was grown, harvested, what were the conditions that year, what is the makeup of the land – even what side of the mountain that wine came from. But what you cannot taste, is the soil from the rocks. That, my friends, is not only impossible because of how and what the plant takes from the soil (water and ionic forms of inorganic compounds, as Maltman points out in his book) but ignores the most glorious and complex part of wine. In our conversation, Maltman talks about the grapes that no one has heard of that are making a comeback in Greece, Croatia, and Eastern Europe. Oh, and we bust the myths of resveratrol and people who want to add this as a supplement for weight loss, long life, etc. ----- http://forku.com (Fork U) is part of the https://your-doctors-orders.captivate.fm (Your Doctors Orders network of podcasts) and is hosted by noted physician and surgeon Dr. Terry Simpson. https://www.tiktok.com/@drterrysimpson?

The term "microplastics" was originally described in 2004 for plastic particles that are less than 5 millimeters in diameter, originally being seen on beaches. But everywhere scientists have looked on planet earth, they have been found. From fruit, vegetables, nuts, beer, baby bottles, in the air, in our water. Some have estimated that we ingest 100,000 microplastic particles per day or the equivalent of a credit card of microplastic in a year. That number will only increase, as we are producing over 400 million tons of plastics a year, and we have over 5 billion tons of plastics in landfills. Plastic degrades over time, from sunlight, from ocean water, from wind. Some of those plastics become so small they cross the blood-brain barrier in humans. These plastics come in all shapes and sizes. As they are exposed to the environment and degrade, they become smaller and smaller. They come with different types of plastics with different reactions, but mostly we don't know. The problem is we don't know what these plastics are doing to us. We don't know what the toxic levels of microplastics are. We don't know what, if any, physiological systems that microplastics would interfere with. We don't know if they increase cancer, heart disease, auto-immune disease, dementia, liver cirrhosis - we just don't know. We don't know if they inhibit the growth of children if they cause the loss of fetuses in women who are pregnant. We do know on larger levels; plastics cause issues with marine mammals. Shopping bags in the water look like the turtle's favorite feast, a jellyfish, and they will consume those, and those plastics become stuck in the turtle's digestive system clogging up their intestines and leading to their death. Most have seen the turtle whose nose was stuffed with a plastic straw. What we don't know is what happens when the small microplastics enter into cells, or cross the blood-brain barrier, or land in our lungs. Those finds led to the laws to decrease plastic one-use bags and plastic straws, but that is just the tip of what might be a more serious problem. We know that mice fed microplastics had lower sperm counts, smaller offspring, but again, mice are not men. We also don't know what the different types of microplastics will do - one type might be harmful, another type might be benign. Some plastics might pass through us like fiber, indigestible matter that has no consequence other than moving stool along. What can you do if you are worried? If you feed your child formula, use bottles instead of plastic. If you use your microwave, don't reheat food in plastic containers. Try not to use plastic containers for storage, and don't dispose of them so quickly. Water bottles - well, time to use reusable water bottles made of metal or glass. For now, we can do a small part, but it isn't the entire part. It is a problem that may be a larger problem or less of a problem. But it probably is an issue. We already know that some plastics do cause endocrine disruption, and those products have been outlawed. But it isn't just a marine problem; whether you are a vegan, pescatarian, vegetarian, omnivore, or carnivore, there will be plastics in everything you eat. ----- http://forku.com (Fork U) is part of the https://your-doctors-orders.captivate.fm (Your Doctors Orders network of podcasts) and is hosted by the noted physician and surgeon Dr. Terry Simpson. https://www.tiktok.com/@drterrysimpson?

Ever since the YouTube video of Dr. Lustig and the evils of fructose went viral in 2010, many have advocated that fructose is the single most common cause of obesity in the United States. The video had metabolic pathways that had the hypothesis that most fructose either becomes fat in the liver, or that it might go down a pathway to cause joint issues, leaky gut, and inflammation causing obesity. Here are the two chemical structures of glucose, also known as the "good sugar" and fructose, or the bad sugar. I cannot help but thinking of the good witch and the bad witch on the Wizard of Oz. Dr. Lustig's hypothesis was based on studies done in mice and rats. In those studies, published two years before the viral video, found that high fructose diets in mice lead to increased "gut leak" and led to liver damage (1). This was even confirmed with a small study of 8 men (2) who had their complex carbohydrates replaced by fructose and fed normal caloric diets - meaning, these eight men had increased liver fat, more de novo fat formation (de novo lipogenesis) . This all makes that logical sense since sugar-sweetened beverages are associated with chronic inflammation and these days everything to do with chronic inflammation increases the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and aging. Then came a double-blinded, randomized, crossover study where a group of people were fed a standard diet but drank 25% of their calories as either fructose (the evil sugar), or glucose (the good one) or a high fructose corn syrup sweetened beverage. Oddly, there was no difference in any of those groups with regard to markers of inflammation, intestinal permeability, or inflammation in the fat tissue. To quote from the study: "Excessive amounts of fructose, HFCS, and glucose from SSBs consumed over 8 d did not differentially affect low-grade chronic systemic inflammation in normal-weight to obese adults." SSB = sugar sweetened beverages. There have been a number of human trials looking at sugar-sweetened beverages and inflammation, and the results are not consistent. Even finding that people who drink large amounts of either glucose of fructose didn't find changes in inflammation or visceral fat. Mice are not men, and the link between gut permeability, leading to systemic and chronic inflammation, occurs in mice, but not men. And while in mice fructose can lead to inflammation and liver issues, this doesn't happen in human beings. (4) The key may not be fructose itself, but increased caloric intake.  If you eat more, you will increase in weight, but it is not fructose alone. It is, in fact, high caloric intake combined with sugars. Meaning, that great tasting snack with the high levels of sugars and fats act in concert with the increased calories consumed to give you that portly look. To be fair, all of the studies were short term, less than a couple of weeks. Fructose, over the long term, may still be a bad actor. What about fruit? It is exceedingly difficult to eat enough whole fruits to make this a problem. To eat the excess amount in some of these studies you would have to eat several pounds of apples, and most people simply cannot do that in a day. And whole fruit consumption, as a part of the Mediterranean diet reduces the burden of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and even erectile dysfunction.(5) In fact less than 10% of most Western dieters have adequate levels of fruit (6) leading to a serious threat to human health. Maybe a couple of apples a day will keep the doctor away. ----- http://forku.com/ (Fork U) is part of the https://your-doctors-orders.captivate.fm/ (Your Doctors Orders network of podcasts) and is hosted by noted physician and surgeon Dr. Terry Simpson. https://www.tiktok.com/@drterrysimpson?

The Carnivore diet is the most extreme of the low-carbohydrate diets, with its expressed point that humans did great on a diet of flesh and evolved to eat a diet high in fats. While we cannot make up what people ate in the past, we can see about the diet of the Yupik's of Alaska.  These people have been studied extensively by the https://canhr.uaf.edu/ (Center for Alaska Native Health Research) (CANHR) at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks who partnered with https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/circresaha.115.306566 (Genetics of Coronary Artery Disease) in Alaska Native people. First the CANHR found that Alaska Natives who ate processed meats (hot dogs, lunch meat, fried chicken) had higher triglycerides. Those Yupik's who consumed lots of omega-3 fatty acids and ate lots of meats with saturated fats developed coronary artery disease. As much as we like to get our omega-3 fatty acids from the sources, and few in the world eat as many as the Yupik's, that cannot protect you from coronary artery disease in the presence of the over-consumption of saturated and trans fatty acids. It further showed that, at least for the Yupik's, consuming processed meats, and meats high in saturated fats like beef, pork, lamb and chicken with skin was not healthy for the Alaska Natives. The Carnivore diet excludes greens and berries, however sea greens and berries are a large part of the traditional Yupik diet. The diet that they have is high in marine mammals, fish, game animals, greens and berries that provide high levels of fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E, and K) as well as iron. The Biotruth of the Carnivore Diet:A biotruth is a logical fallacy, usually found to be a misunderstanding of evolution. In this case the idea that early human ancestors were meat eaters and that the adaptation of cultivation of crops led to chronic disease. When CT scans were looked at from 137 mummified remains from four geographical regions, ancient Egypt, Peru, the Pueblo, and Unangan from the Aleutian Islands were examined they found atherosclerosis in all of them.  “Interpretation: Atherosclerosis was common in four preindustrial populations including preagricultural hunter-gatherers. Although commonly assumed to be a modern disease, the presence of atherosclerosis in premodern human beings raises the possibility of a more basic predisposition to the disease.” It should be noted that those were diverse diets from those who ate primarily marine mammals and fish to those whose diet was composed primarily of vegetation with little meat. The Myths of LDLThe low carbohydrate community propose that LDL isn't an issue with heart disease. This flies in the face of the recent article in JAMA looking at 34 clinical trials and finding that lowering LDL-C not only decreased the risk of heart disease, but all causes of mortality. While the low-carb crowd likes to point out how sugar indeed has a role in development of heart disease, they quietly forget to point out that diets rich in meats are overwhelmingly an issue. ----- http://forku.com/ (Fork U) is part of the https://your-doctors-orders.captivate.fm/ (Your Doctors Orders network of podcasts) and is hosted by noted physician and surgeon Dr. Terry Simpson. https://www.tiktok.com/@drterrysimpson?

When it became clear that remote work was here to stay, businesses scrambled to provide workers with the appropriate tools. Companies of all sizes turned to automation solutions like those that Nintex offer to cope with the new strictly digital environment.

Australian heartthrob and crooner Hugh Sheridan opens up about the devastating earthquake in Nepal and his quest to find his missing brother lost in the devastation and the controversy that ensued. Hugh Sheridan is an Australian actor, musician and television presenter, born in Adelaide, the second youngest of seven children. At 16 Hugh was encouraged by his parents to study dance to support his music and drama. That same year his dance teacher Terry Simpson, suggested he audition for the prestigious Australian Ballet School, she knew that experiencing the rigorous and gruelling entry process would set Hugh up for future drama institution auditions. To Hugh's surprise (and his family's) Hugh was granted entry to the Advanced Diploma in Dance. So, he moved to Melbourne to study dance at the ABS, while there he also studied opera part time at the Victorian College of Arts under Monique Brunelle. As a student Hugh was selected to work with The Paris Opera Ballet, The English National Ballet and The Australian Ballet. Hugh, at just 18, was accepted into full time Bachelor of Arts in Acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney. In his final year Hugh won the role of Ben Rafter in Seven's pilot for Packed to the Rafters, a show that spanned six series, consistently holding #1 drama in Australia. Rafters would make him a household name and give rise to him winning four Silver Logies in a row. As for his music, in 2010, Hugh signed with Sony Music Australia. He released the single "Just Can't Throw Us Away" which made an impressive #2 debut on the iTunes singles chart and was followed by the successful debut album "Speak Love”.  In 2013 Hugh signed with Parker and Mr French and is managed by internationally renowned Todd Wagstaff. Hugh is back in the recording studio between the US and Australia, which plans to release a major project. http://hughsheridan.com/  Twitter: @hugh_sheridan Have a listen and visit the show’s website at http://secondchances.tv/.

Special guest: Dr. Terry Simpson. Cigar of the Week - El Baton. From JC Newman Cigar Company, a rebirth of an old brand, intended to be bold and spicey. Nicaraguan Corojo Wrapper and Nicaraguan binder, filler.

The Cigar of the Week is the Oliva Serie G Double Robusto. We also smoke this month's Bonus cigar, the Esteban Carreras 10 Anos, Congratulations to Chris Cambell - he came up with the longest cigar name and wins a sampler pack from DWCR! We listen to a Herfline review from Angry Bill on the Pinar Del Rio. What's my Band? Bob smokes a Felipe Gregorio Dominicana Boa, Dale smokes a Topper Cosmo Perfecto. Doctor Terry Simpson joins us to talk cigars, junk science and economics! On the Dark Side - a brief review of the cigar industry in Cuba since the revolution. We also preview the new cigar releases from Habanos S.A. from the 11th Festival de los Habanos. What else have the DWCR guys been smokin'? Casa Magna, Cruzado, Padilla Series 68, Montesino, The Brick, Jameson Red. This week's winner of the year long subscription to European Cigar Cult Journal is Jay LeDao! Opening theme music provided by : 25 Smokin' Figurados from their album Divine Spirits, Holy Smoke Closing theme All or Nothing provided by Immortal Alice

The Cigar of the Week is the Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic 1970. Unless you are new to premium cigars or have been living in a cave, the name Don Pepin Garcia is sure to invoke visions of tasty smoke wafting ghost like through the air. Pepin Garcia is the talent behind many of the most popular cigars in today's market. The Cuban Classic line (or Black Label as it is sometimes called) is the third line of cigars created under his own name, the first being the Blue label and the second being the Serie JJ. This Cuban Classic line hit retailers shelves in late 2006 and quickly rocketed to superstar status among passionados. The wrapper is a Habano Rosado variety and both the filler and binder are Nicaraguan. Don Pepin Garcia cigars are rolled in Pepin's Tabacalera Cubana factory in Esteli, Nicaragua and his El Rey de los Habanos factory in Miami Florida. The Cuban Classic Black Edition is available in six sizes: Perla (4.25x40), Corona Especial (5.5x38), Robustos (5x50), Belicosos (5x54), Figurado (6x60 and the Toros (6x52). All of the Don Pepin Garcia lines are rolled in the traditional Cuban style and the boxes are each stamped with a date code. In tribute to the Cuban traditions that Jose Garcia came from, and the American market which has been so kind to him, the band on each cigar has a Cuban and an American flag overlapping on each side of the center motif. Dr. Terry Simpson joins us to discuss the latest "third hand smoke" pseudo science. This is junk science thrown out as another rally point for the anti-smokers. Dr. Simpson says that publicizing this misinformation is at best irresponsible. We also discuss the state of the Alaskan cigar business and of course, we get a lesson in current politics. Another way to get involved - the Tobacconist Preservation Act is a proposed piece of Federal Legislation to preserve the rights of retail tobacconists to conduct business with their customers who must be able to taste, smell and sample their products in their stores. You can go sign a petition electronically to help move this along - www.thepetitionsite.com we'll put a link up on our site. We discuss the Tobacconist Preservation Act and the role that Heather Haddad of FumeeWorld.com has taken on to help promote what could become a critical piece of federal legislation. Sign the Tobacconist Preservation Act at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/tell-a-friend/2692569 On the Dark Side - Marca - Saint Luis Rey, Frontmark - Doble Coronas, Vitola - Prominente, 194 mm (7.6") x 49 ring gauge. This brand was created in 1938. The Doble Coronas is a highly scoring Prominente vitola, often listed as one of the top 3 in this format. The character is typically between that of the lighter Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona and the fuller Ramon Allones Gigante. What else have the DWCR guys been smokin'? Ted's Made by Hand natural and maduro, Aurora 100 Anos robusto, 5 Vegas Limitada 2008, Tatuaje Reserva J21, Isla de Cuba. Scandanavian Tobacco Group buys Latin Cigars Nicaragua and Latin Cigars Honduras factories. More consolidation in the cigar industry announced last week - Noble Cigars, a division of the Scandinavian Tobacco Group (Which acquired the CAO brands last year) acquired Latin Cigars Nicaragua and Latin Cigars Honduras on Dec 31 for an undisclosed sum. Those factories were owned and operated by Torano cigars and the Fidel Olivas family. Torano and Olivas will continue to operate the factories, which make a combined 20 million cigars annualy, including all CAO brands, Torano brands and others.

No Rachael the Intern's hot internet finds this week.  Amazingly the Fat Guy is being followed by over 3 dozen people who are interested in what he eats each day. Who would have thought?  Anyone can follow the Fat Guy's eating exploits on Twitter.  Food journals are great ways to lose weight and the Fat Guy is always trying anything in order to lose those last 20 pounds. So take a peek into his food diary. You never know what he'll write. Somehow he can stay compliant to writing on Twitter but he can't fit in exercise each day. That's right, moments after he eats something the Fat Guy Twitters about it and you can follow him so that one day if you try real hard you too can look like the Fat Guy. Please go to www.twitter.com/fatguy Hot mom, Kathie Larkin was in the studio lending her thoughts and laughter.  You know Kathie as the host of Real Savvy Moms.  Real Savvy Moms is a great show for hot moms, fat moms, all kinds of moms and is available on most PBS' around the US and online and now on in Atlanta.
