January 21, 2019 Ep 10: Does sunscreen work??
From the age of 5 we’ve been slip slop slapping like it was going out of style. 30 years later the jury is still out as to whether the slop was really worth it. Sunscreen is getting a bad name. But is it justified??

November 09, 2018 Ep 6: What can Bolivian hunter-gatherers tell us about a healthy diet?
The Tsimané are an indigenous people of lowland Bolivia who still remain largely isolated. We’d scoff at their low diet diversity, but their levels of heart disease and type 2 diabetes are among the lowest of any population recorded in the world. This episode is probably a good reminder that you should stop eating sherbert for breakfast.
Inspiration for this week’s episode comes from the following article:
Nutrition transition in 2 lowland Bolivian subsistence populations (2018)
Thomas S Kraft, Jonathan Stieglitz, Benjamin C Trumble, Melanie Martin, Hillard Kaplan, Michael Gurven.

October 29, 2018 Ep 4: Ain't nothin but a M.S.G. thang
My mum still avoids M.S.G.
She swears that on the occasion that she lets her guard down and chomps into a chow mein, she’s instantly attacked with a slew of palpatory, perspitory symptoms that last hours. Now anyone that’s had a chow mein from Seq Fun BBQ house in Redfern will attest that this is a pretty good trade. But the question remains: is it the M.S.G or is she merely another victim of the vicious (and spreading) nocebo virus.
Have a listen and find out!
Hot tip: science chat starts around 20:00.

October 21, 2018 Ep 3: Are microwaves destroying the nutrients in my food?
In the third episode of Jeremy’s Iron we discuss the question that has hounded us for half a century: How do you actually set the f&%king time on a microwave? Mine’s been flashing 0:00 since 1998. We look at the overwhelming research suggesting that microwaves are safe, sound and might even be better than your cooktop for nutrient retention. More importantly, we discuss the reasons why some people are still reluctant, decades on, to use this safe technology.
