From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Salt Sugar Fat comes an exposé of how the processed food industry exploits our evolutionary instincts, the emotions we associate with food, and legal loopholes in their pursuit of profit over public health. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Salt Sugar Fat comes an exposé of how the processed food industry exploits our evolutionary instincts, the emotions we associate with food, and legal loopholes in their pursuit of profit over public health. Everyone knows how hard it can be to maintain a healthy diet. But what if some of the decisions we make about what to eat are beyond our control? Is it possible that food is addictive, like drugs or alcohol? And to what extent does the food industry know, or care, about these vulnerabilities? In Hooked, Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter Michael Moss sets out to answer these questions—and to find the true peril in our food. Moss uses the latest research on addiction to uncover what the scientific and medical communities—as well as food manufacturers—already know: that food, in some cases, is even more addictive than alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs. Our bodies are hardwired for sweets, so food giants have developed fifty-six types of sugar to add to their products, creating in us the expectation that everything should be cloying; we’ve evolved to prefer fast, convenient meals, hence our modern-day preference for ready-to-eat foods. The book talks all about the legal battles, insidious marketing campaigns, and cutting-edge food science that have brought us to our current public health crisis, Hooked lays out all that the food industry is doing to exploit and deepen our addictions, and shows us why what we eat has never mattered more.

The recent death of famous and beloved actor Chadwick Boseman put more spotlight on colorectal cancer in young adults. The recent death of famous and beloved actor Chadwick Boseman put more spotlight on colorectal cancer in young adults. Researchers are studying what is at the root of the disturbing trend, but it is still under review. In the meantime, it’s important for young adults to be aware that colorectal cancer incidence is increasing in young adults, to know what symptoms may need to be investigated, and to be an advocate for themselves if they suspect something is wrong with their health. Colorectal cancer diagnoses have been rapidly increasing in younger individuals, even those in their 20s and 30s. While there's no clear answer as to why this is occurring, there are multiple factors to weigh. Dr. David Liska joins us in this episode to discuss these considerations and how Cleveland Clinic is treating younger patients with this disease. He is the Director of the Center for Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer at Cleveland Clinic. Want better health and nutrition?

Tell a stranger that you talk to yourself, and you’re likely to get written off as eccentric. But the truth is that we all have a voice in our head that powerfully influences how we live our lives. In this time of instability and skyrocketing anxiety, it’s more important than ever to know how to manage this voice to rein in our worrying so it's helpful but not debilitating. In his profound and practical book, CHATTER: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It, acclaimed psychologist Ethan Kross, one of the world’s leading experts on controlling the conscious mind, explores the silent conversations we have with ourselves and how we can move from anxiety to confidence by harnessing our inner voice. Interweaving groundbreaking behavioral and brain research from his own lab with real-world case studies—from a pitcher who forgets how to pitch to a Harvard undergrad negotiating her double life as a spy—Kross explains why our attempts to control the conversations we have with ourselves succeed or fail and how these inner monologues can shape our lives, work, and relationships. He warns that giving in to negative and disorienting self-talk—what he calls “chatter”—can tank our health, sink our moods, strain our social connections, and cause us to fold under pressure.
