Fight Back with Libby Znaimer

Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. David Jenkins, a nutrition scientist at the University of Toronto and a staff physician at St. Michael’s Hospital, as well as Rose Reisman, a Nutritionist and Author.

It’s the latest food fight among researchers and if you are confused about what you should eat for your health, you are not alone! For years we’ve been told that red meat, especially processed red meat is bad and we should cut way back. Well, now, a big international study led by Canadian scientists is calling that into question. Their conclusion is that eating less red and processed meats will have little impact on reducing your risk of heart disease, cancer and other diseases that have been linked these foods. Their bottom line: keep doing what you’re doing and eating what you eat! Their argument after reviewing studies involving millions of people around the world is that the evidence is weak, it’s based on large populations, and can’t really be drilled down to individual risk. This was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine and the backlash was swift - certainly in the U.S. - The American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and other groups have savaged the findings and the journal that published them. So where does that leave us?

There was a flag raising this morning at City Hall for the 70th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China.

Mayor John Tory will not be attending. In fact, several local groups and citizens will boycott the flag raising over Canada-China tensions. With the world watching the ongoing chaos in Hong Kong, there’s also the matter of China’s imprisonment of two Canadian men.

Michael Kovrig, a former diplomat, and businessman Michael Spavor are being detained by the Chinese on suspicion of spying; their arrests are viewed as retaliation for Canada’s part in the arrest last year of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, who was picked up in Vancouver at the behest of the American government.

In a statement, Don Peat, Executive Director Of Communications and Strategic Issues Management in the mayor’s office, says it is not the city raising the flag — it is a courtesy pole where countries officially recognized by Global Affairs Canada are allowed to raise national flags.
