February 19, 2024 Another Look at Artificial Sweeteners & Electrolyte Supplements
In 2022, we released our first episode on artificial sweeteners. In 2023, the World Health Organization released new guidelines on artificial sweetener intake and classified a particular sweetener, aspartame, as a Group 2B carcinogen. We take a deep dive into the huge paper that was cited for the new recommendation and discuss whether or not our view on artificial sweeteners have changed based on this literature. Our BSPS is on electrolyte supplements: who needs them, when, and what brands are best.

February 12, 2024 Zoe and Oxalates
Zoe claims it can send you some extensive home tests, and tell you exactly what to eat based on the results of that test. It's expensive, invasive.. so is it worth it or is it BS? Our (extended) BS PS is on oxalates. These compounds have been demonized in the media as "anti-nutrients" found in plants, with some people going so far as to say its a reason to fully eliminate most plants from you diet! What does the research have to say about these compounds?

February 05, 2024 Realfoodology and Salt Substitutes
In what is probably the most hypocritical nutrition influencer we have ever covered, we cover Courtney Swan, aka Realfoodology, as she slams the profession of dietetics for being "paid off" while simultaneously accepting countless brand sponsorships to shill diet and wellness products, AND convince you to stop taking medications! What fun!

In our BS PS, we discuss potential legislation that will allow food manufactures to use potassium based salts in processed foods as a substitute for sodium. We discuss what are the pros and what are the potential dangers if this legislation passes.

January 08, 2024 The Zone Diet & 75 Hard
The zone diet was originally created to reduce inflammation in athletes. Today, it has morphed into... well, not that. Can the zone diet really stop "decreasing wellness" and "improve aging" and other vague and undefinable claims like that, or is it just a bunch of BS? Our BS PS, presented by dietetic intern Ellen Tingey Doyle, is on 75 hard. Is this a challenge you should try, or should we look to other tactics to change health behaviors?

January 01, 2024 Gary Brecka
Happy New Year and welcome back! Today we discuss a self-proclaimed "human biologist" who has taken over the media scene in the world of bio-hacking. He calls himself a "human biologist", we call him the "human Dunning-Krueger effect", because he seems to think he knows a whole lot about topics he clearly knows very little. We hope you enjoy!
