Saving The World From Soda: How ‘Big Soda’ Has Made The World Sicker
Would you believe that the soda industry’s success is largely built on the manipulation of data and scientists? Our guest this week details all the behind-the-scenes scheming that created a billion-dollar industry. She discusses how Big Soda schemed their way into American homes by controlling how scientists studied nutrition, diets, and obesity.

However, rising global temperatures are forcing these microscopic organisms to adapt and survive in hotter environments. Our guest this week breaks down the terrifying reality of what could happen if these heat-resistant fungi evolve to conquer our immune systems and trigger a real-world pandemic.
Guest: Dr. Arturo Casadevall, microbiologist, infectious disease expert, Chair of Molecular Microbiology & Immunology, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, author, What If Fungi Win?
