The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel dives deep into the "witches' brew" hiding in the American diet, lifting the "Norman Rockwell filter" on beloved foods. We expose the chemical cocktails in favorites like bacon and turkey, including known carcinogens like nitrosamines, hormone disruptors, antibiotics leading to "slow immune sabotage," and the sodium bomb. Lionel also tackles pervasive health myths: is the Mediterranean diet really the cure-all, or was it post-war starvation rations?. Discover why smoothies might sabotage your health, what the food industry hides under the phrase "natural flavor," and why quick-fix fads like methylene blue distract us from the poisons we ingest daily.
