Just like Jamie and Adam did with urban legends and ancient stories on the Discovery channel, we are BUSTING myths commonly associated with diabetes and food.
The winning phrase of this episode is: "DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE" and just like we said on episodes 13 and 15, always read the ingredients' list of the food and beverages you consume.
GOLD MEDAL QUOTES

What are the fats that you are choosing and do you have a gallbladder?

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
