  • Dr Oz

    Dr Oz, who once said he "uses a different standard of evidence than the medical consensus" to make medical decisions (aka he loves to cherry pick evidence that supports what he wants to do) is now appointed to be in charge of CMS, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services. Listen to today's episode on Oz's history of peddling whatever BS supplement is willing to give him a kickback and other reasons why we think he is a terrible pick.

  • Fluoride in Water and Diet During Pregnancy

    Thanks to decades of fear mongering... RFK Jr, renegade anti-vaxxer and anti seed oil-er, will likely be in charge of all health departments in the US! His first order of business - remove fluoride from drinking water! Does the evidence support doing this, or is this just another rabbit hole of disinformation that will be come public policy anyways? Can you feel our frustration radiate from this description!? Our BS PS is taking a look at the evidence around foods to avoid during pregnancy. What does the literature say about foods like soft cheeses, cold cut meats, caffeine, and alcohol?

    If you want to lose weight, did you know all you need is $5000 for a brain scan, hundreds of dollars for supplements... and that's it?

  • Oprah and Purium

    Oprah is an undisputed icon, and celebrated philanthropist.. and unfortunately, also, one of the biggest pushers of diet culture.
