Vitamin D Apr 01, 2024

Show notes

Today we discuss all things Vitamin D: what we need it for, how we get it, and what to do if you think you are deficient. We also delve into some of the claims around Vitamin D supplements.

Yuka, European Nutriscore, and Thrive Mar 25, 2024

Show notes

In another two-parter episode, we first discuss the French based app Yuka, which determines whether a food is "excellent", "good", "poor" or "bad". These classifications are based on the same criteria as the European Nutriscore classification system. We discuss what we think of this government backed program, and whether we recommend this classification app. Second, we discuss the MLM Thrive by Le-vel, which sells (this isn't a joke) health stickers. Take a listen to what we have to think about the product line of this company.

The Special K and South Beach Diets Mar 18, 2024

Show notes

In this two-fer episode, we turn the clock back to the mid 2000's when diets like "eat cereal all day" was somehow just completely accepted. The 2000's saw some pretty wild diet trends, and we enjoyed taking a look at these two programs.

Cholesterol (Should We Limit Eggs) and the Lion Diet Mar 11, 2024

Show notes

To egg or not to egg.. that has been one of nutrition's biggest questions over the last 30 years. Today, we discuss the current state of literature regarding blood cholesterol. Does eating cholesterol from foods like eggs increase your blood cholesterol? Is it actually sugar that is the culprit? What even is cholesterol?
Our BS PS is on the somehow even MORE restrictive version of the carnivore diet: the Lion Diet. Can this diet really cure your mental health?

Another Look at Artificial Sweeteners & Electrolyte Supplements Feb 19, 2024

Show notes

In 2022, we released our first episode on artificial sweeteners. In 2023, the World Health Organization released new guidelines on artificial sweetener intake and classified a particular sweetener, aspartame, as a Group 2B carcinogen. We take a deep dive into the huge paper that was cited for the new recommendation and discuss whether or not our view on artificial sweeteners have changed based on this literature. Our BSPS is on electrolyte supplements: who needs them, when, and what brands are best.

Zoe and Oxalates Feb 12, 2024

Show notes

Zoe claims it can send you some extensive home tests, and tell you exactly what to eat based on the results of that test. It's expensive, invasive.. so is it worth it or is it BS? Our (extended) BS PS is on oxalates. These compounds have been demonized in the media as "anti-nutrients" found in plants, with some people going so far as to say its a reason to fully eliminate most plants from you diet! What does the research have to say about these compounds?
