Circadian scientist Dr. Martin Moore-Ede reveals why the LED bulbs in nearly every home may be driving a rise in breast and prostate cancer, why he calls the light we now live under the tobacco of our time, and why the modern fear of the sun may be shortening our lives instead of protecting them!Dr. Moore-Ede discovered the master circadian clock in the human brain, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, and ran a sleep and circadian research lab at Harvard Medical School for two decades. He has spent 50 years studying how light governs human health, and now argues that the shift to blue-rich LED lighting has created an environment our bodies were never built for.He explains:◼️ Why breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer track almost exactly with how much electric light a society uses◼️ Why melatonin is not the sleep hormone you think it is, and what it really does at 2am◼️ How LEDs strip out the red and infrared your mitochondria need for energy◼️ Why the sun exposure data flips skin cancer advice on its head◼️ Why your children are going short-sighted, and the wavelength that prevents it◼️ Why the $200 blue-light glasses most people buy block the wrong blueAASTHA, LIVE LONGER WORLD:Episode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.com/p/mmooreedeX: https://x.com/aasthajs Instagram: https://instagram.com/aasthajs My health stack: https://www.healthstacked.com/aasthajsTIMESTAMPS:00:00 LED Light Is the Tobacco of Our Time01:33 The Connection Between Cancer and LED Lighting04:05 Why Hormone-Driven Cancers Are Hit the Hardest07:49 Is There a Link to Glioblastoma?08:14 Why Melatonin Is Not the Sleep Hormone11:40 There Is No Blue Light in Nature After Sunset15:58 We Live in Junk Light, Just Like Junk Food17:21 What Wavelengths Are LEDs Actually Missing?20:44 The Infrared We Lost When We Banned Incandescents22:52 The Two Ways LEDs Are Harming You30:05 Health Stacked30:56 White vs Yellow Light: Why It's the Wrong Question33:59 Lux, Lumens, and a 100-Year-Old Mistake38:27 What LED Light Does to Your Heart and Immune System40:44 Why Regularity Matters as Much as the Light Itself43:07 The Camping Study That Reset Everyone's Body Clock49:56 Sunlight vs Skin Cancer: We Have It Backwards53:03 The 450 vs 480 Spike Almost No One Gets Right59:52 Why Life Evolved to Run on Blue Light01:03:13 Melanopsin: Your Body's Blue Detector01:08:28 Do Melatonin Supplements Actually Do Anything?01:12:19 Why the Wrong Side of a Time Zone Can Kill You01:15:37 Is There Something Special About Dawn?01:17:12 Light and the Early Onset of Puberty01:20:53 The Aggressive Kid Who Changed When the Lights Did01:21:51 Should You Replace Your Windows?01:24:00 Do not wear sunglasses in the morning!01:26:44 What About Daytime Lighting?01:27:41 Do Blue-Light-Blocking Glasses Work at Night?01:31:20 Take Your Lighting Into Your Own HandsPRODUCTS I USE FOR BETTER CIRCADIAN RHYTHM:◼️VivaRays 4 in 1 Blue Blockers: https://vivarays.com/livelongerworld or code LIVELONGERWORLD for 10% off◼️Healthy Home Shop Circadian Bulbs: https://thehealthyhome.shop/livelongerworld for 10% off◼️Daylight Computer No-blue screen: https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/livelongerworld for $25 off◼️Chroma Circadian-Aligned Desk Lamp: https://getchroma.co/photonsfromaastha and code LIVELONGERWORLD for 10% offFull list of health products I use: https://www.healthstacked.com/aasthajsDr. Martin Moore-Ede:Website: https://thelightdoctor.com/Book: THE LIGHT DOCTOR: Using Light to Boost Health, Improve Sleep, and Live Longer: https://amzn.to/4yrwWWuHEALTH STACKED, the trusted longevity marketplace: https://www.healthstacked.com/RELATED POSTS:Avoiding the sun kills more people than skin cancer: https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/sunsmokingYour Lights are Wrecking your Sleep (Here's What I Use): https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/redlightsYour Screens Are Keeping You Awake: 60 second fix: https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/redphone

We're going to start today's show talking about smoking. It's back in the headlines after a recent bust saw more than a million cigarettes seized and five people arrested as part of efforts to crack down on the black-market tobacco trade. And the issue of excise tax is back under the spotlight with Associate Health Minister Casey Costello telling Newstalk ZB she would consider a review of it. She's since told RNZ she has no intention of reducing tobacco excise, nor had she talked about it. What she did or didn't say aside - we started thinking about the issue of smoking and the best way to break the supply of illicit cigarettes and tobacco. Janet Hoek is an Otago University public health professor and spokesperson for the Health Coalition Aotearoa expert advisory group on smoking and she chats to Perlina.

Tobacco companies see nicotine pouches as a lucrative replacement for declining cigarette sales and are investing billions to expand production.

Tobacco industry contributions to the development of ultraprocessed food in the United States, 1985–2007: A case study of Lunchables American Journal of Public Health Tobacco firms began acquiring US food companies in the 1960s-1990s to increase revenues and leverage research and development across holdings in tobacco, alcohol, and ultra-processed foods (UPF) subsidiaries. In this case study, the authors examine the development of Lunchables® following Phillip Morris (PMC) acquisition of Kraft and General Foods (KGF). PMC applied a “consumer-driven product development” strategy, previously used for tobacco, in the development process to maximize consumer appeal. PMC also used technologies from KGF to make lower-nicotine cigarettes and then low-fat versions of Lunchables®, in a “better-for-you” strategy to preserve market share in the face of health concerns about both products. The authors suggest public health strategies and policies used to address tobacco could be expanded to UPFs to reduce harm to children.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Send us Fan MailJeff and Scott chat with Ben Jaros, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, about his paper, “Tobacco Tariffs in the Colonial Chesapeake.” Ben explains how tobacco tariffs shaped the finances of colonial Maryland and Virginia, the English Crown, and the broader Atlantic economy from the early 1600s through the Revolutionary War. We discuss who actually bore the burden of these tariffs, why European consumers may have paid most of the cost, and how tobacco revenue helps explain Britain's fiscal interest in maintaining control over the colonies

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin welcomes Jason Grechanik, master tabaquero and host of The Universe Within Podcast, for a deep exploration of sacred tobacco as Amazonian plant medicine. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-358/?ref=278  Sacred tobacco is usually understood in the West through the lens of cigarettes, addiction, and commercial misuse. But in Amazonian traditions, Nicotiana rustica is understood very differently: as a master plant, a protector, and a powerful medicine that requires lineage, discernment, and right relationship. Drawing from nearly a decade of Amazonian immersion and more than 1,000 people guided through plant ceremonies, Jason shares how tobacco is worked with in dieta, ayahuasca ceremony, energetic protection, and direct relationship with plant spirits. Paul and Jason also discuss cannabis, indigenous cosmologies, safety, and what tobacco's history can teach the modern psychedelic movement about power, humility, and proper containers. Jason Grechanik is a master tabaquero trained in the Mamankunawa tradition under curandero Don Ernesto Garcia Torres. With nearly a decade of Amazonian immersion and more than 1,000 people guided through plant ceremonies, Jason spent many years at the renowned Shipibo healing center Temple of the Way of Light. He is the host of The Universe Within Podcast, with 180+ episodes and 20K+ monthly listeners, co-founder of the Nicotiana Rustica project, and has been featured in DoubleBlind Magazine. Highlights: Jason's path into Amazonian tobacco medicine Tobacco beyond commercial cigarettes Why tobacco is considered a master plant Dieta as direct plant relationship Tobacco as portal and protector Ayahuasca, diagnosis, and plant doctors Safety, toxicity, and proper containers Jaguar and hummingbird tobacco archetypes Cannabis, dreams, and plant relationship Lessons for the psychedelic renaissance Episode Links: The Universe Within Podcast Nicotiana Rustica Project Jason on Instagram Episode Sponsors: The Practitioner Certification Program by Third Wave's Psychedelic Coaching Institute.

Egyptian print media has historically functioned as a cultural barometer, shifting from the early official bulletins of the 20th century into a relentless and aggressive form of capitalism on steroids. Professor Bahia Shehab discusses her book, "A Trade in Dreams: A Century of Egyptian Print Advertising", unpacking how visual culture has been both a witness to and a victim of political upheaval. Her research illuminates a century where advertising functioned as legalized psychological operations, deeply embedded in the daily life of Cairo. By dissecting the visual language of the past, she provides a necessary framework for understanding the mono-culture and flattening of aesthetic diversity in the modern era.   00:00 Introduction 01:32 Invention of the Egyptian Press 04:00 The Business Model of Early Advertising 05:50 Motivations for Researching Advertising History 08:20 Discoveries in Beauty Standards and Race 09:55 Sequential Chronology and Political Tectonic Shifts 12:13 Napoleon, Egyptomania, and Early Visual Communication 17:14 1920s–1940s: Agriculture and the Tobacco Export Industry 20:00 Professionalization and Multinational Ad Agencies 22:31 Hybrid Aesthetics: International vs. Local Design 27:21 The Nasser Era: Socialism and Nationalized Media 30:57 The Sadat Era: Peace Treaties and the Open Door Policy 32:33 Influential Figures and the Silencing of Female Voices 37:01 Domination of the Soap Industry 48:58 The 1940s: The Golden Age of Egyptian Advertising 57:04 Egypt's Leading Role in Regional Advertising 59:08 Book Tour and Future Perspectives   Bahia Shehab is a multidisciplinary artist, designer, political activist and historian whose work focuses on the interaction and intersection of modern identity and ancient cultural heritage. Her imaginative combination of calligraphy and Islamic art history produced cutting edge, beautiful, impactful street art during the Arab Spring and continues to inform her work as an educator and designer. Having always been concerned with identity and preserving cultural heritage, she investigates art history to reinterpret contemporary Arab politics, feminist discourse and social issues. Her culturally oriented work enables her to use history as a means to better understand the present and find solutions for the future. She believes that art may be employed for the purposes of social change and has explored this phenomenon through her artwork, which focuses on socially charged themes such as the Arab identity and women's rights. Her research is largely concerned with understanding the Arabic letters and has been preoccupied with Arabic calligraphy in much of her work. Her work has been displayed in exhibitions around the world and she has received several awards and recognition for her achievements.   Connect with Bahia Shehab

What did the Word of Wisdom actually look like in the days of Brigham Young? In this fascinating episode of Church History Matters, Scott Woodward and Casey Griffiths explore how early Latter-day Saints understood, practiced, and sometimes struggled to live the Word of Wisdom during the pioneer era. From frontier medicine and tobacco use to coffee, tea, and homemade alcohol, Brigham Young's generation approached the revelation in ways that may surprise modern members of the Church. Scott and Casey examine Brigham Young's teachings, personal example, and efforts to gradually encourage the Saints toward greater obedience while building Zion in the American West. Along the way, they uncover stories about pioneer culture, the economic push to produce local goods instead of importing “Gentile” products, and the slow evolution of the Word of Wisdom from inspired counsel into a temple worthiness standard. This episode provides important historical context for one of the most recognizable practices in Latter-day Saint life today.

Chris Bayless is a former Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Special Agent who spent more than three decades working some of the most dangerous undercover investigations in the United States. An original member of ATF's Enhanced Undercover Program beginning in 2000, Bayless spent years infiltrating violent outlaw motorcycle gangs including the Outlaws, Grim Reapers, and organizations connected to the Hell's Angels, helping build major federal RICO prosecutions against organized criminal enterprises. Raised in a suburb of Chicago by two school teachers, Bayless was influenced early by mentors in law enforcement who shaped his path toward public service. After attending Manchester University in Indiana, where he studied Environmental Studies and Criminal Justice, he joined the ATF in 1987 in the Chicago Field Division. Throughout his career, Bayless worked major federal operations targeting violent crime in cities such as St. Louis, Oakland, Phoenix, Cleveland, and Albuquerque. His undercover work placed him deep inside biker gangs and other criminal networks, requiring years of operating under assumed identities in high-risk environments. Beyond investigations, Bayless served in the ATF Peer Support Program, helping fellow agents process trauma following critical incidents, including the aftermath of Waco. After decades of operating in violent environments and living in constant hypervigilance, he was eventually diagnosed with PTSD near the end of his career. Today, Bayless teaches at the ATF Academy, helping train the next generation of agents while reflecting on lessons from his career about trauma, resilience, faith, and redemption. Outside of law enforcement, he spends time restoring WWII Army Willys Jeeps and navigating life after decades of undercover work.
