Dr. Kahn breaks down a new article on the 93 million CT scans done yearly in the U.S. and the potential cancer risks linked to medical radiation. He shares helpful tools like knowyourdose.ucsf.edu to better understand how scan-related exposure compares to everyday life. Another useful resource: nrc.gov/about-nrc/radiation/around-us/doses-daily-lives.html
He also covers fresh research on meat and heart disease, plant proteins and blood pressure, the Portfolio diet for young adults, and the benefits of flavanols from foods like apples and cacao. Plus, quick hits on Broken Heart Syndrome, taurine, and niacin.
