July 16, 2025 The Medical Show S1E4: Supplemental Education
We start off with a listener message about whether diet sodas are healthier than sugary ones—concluding both are safe in moderation, but artificial sweeteners may alter your sweet tolerance and degrade into harmful compounds if heated. We then dove into dietary supplements: most aren’t harmful but rarely provide promised benefits unless addressing a deficiency. Multivitamins can be useful, but many are unnecessary and just produce “expensive urine.” Some supplements—especially for weight loss, sports performance, and sexual enhancement—pose real health risks. Supplements can also interact dangerously with prescription meds. Always consult a doctor before use. And loads more!
