Speaker 1 (00:09):
Enount honest.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yes, you are listening to Michael Patrick Shields radio stations
across the state of Michigan worldwide at m I Big
Show dot Com. Thank you to Nbridge Energy for their
(00:59):
participation in this program. More on them coming up shortly.
And Jerry Jones, the Cowboys' owner, was apparently saved by
a multi million dollar experimental drug. We'll hear more about
that coming up soon. He had skin cancer. It sounds like,
(01:20):
quite seriously, let's talk about your house. Let's have a
drink and talk about it. Oh maybe let's not have
a drink and talk about it. I hear the song
coming from the orchestra right now, and it's true.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I like a Spitali.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
You don't have to get necessarily wasted, but you know,
we could get a little tipsy with our tipple whatever
it might be, copper Craft. Possibly. Fewer Americans are reporting, though,
that they drink alcohol, amidst a growing belief that even
moderate alcohol consumption is a health risk. A gallop pull
(02:00):
says a record high percentage of adults fifty three percent
now say that moderate drinking is bad for their health.
Do you know what that number was in twenty fifteen?
Ten years ago twenty eight percent, so fuzzy math, but
it's nearly double. Doctor John Wycoff is the founder and
CEO of the Ycough Wellness Center, East Lansing on Michigan Avenue,
(02:23):
a little east of one twenty seven and at Wycoff
Wellness dot com. And he is a doctor who deep
dives into what is best for you. And I remember
he told me once when I was having a consult
with him, that I should never drink beer again. It
wasn't the alcohol, it was the beer specifically, as I recall, doctor,
do you remember.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
That I do? Michael, good morning.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I think the idea that alcohol has some long term
negative effects even in moderate consumption is probably true, and
maybe that's what's gaining traction amongst people. I think we
think of alcohol as causing addiction and liver disease, but
clearly there's an association with alcohol consumption, cancer, heart disease, stroke,
(03:12):
and just having accidents, along with consumption during pregnancy causing
fatal issues. But the green specifically use for beer have
polic acid in them, and the poly acid can be
very hard to intabolize. A about half of the patients
or half the people in the world. So I think
there's some validity for just maybe not having.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Beer sometimes when I'm out and a cocktail is double
the price of a beer. That's what makes my decision
for me and Tom King, the great friend of J. P. McCarthy,
used to say beer is for poor people because he
drank whiskey. But I don't know if this would be
I wonder if these stats would be different in Europe.
(03:55):
I suspect they would, wouldn't They more people? Probably they
drink freely all day long, even at lunch. They don't
seem much bothered by it.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
You know. It is interesting the laws in Europe very
different with grains as compared to the US, where the
United States government requires that all grains be treated with
folic acid. That is not the case in most of Europe.
So I think you're right. The alcohol, especially the beer,
(04:26):
and probably the warine too because of fewer pesticides and
herbicides that are really allowed. Europe just doesn't allow the
chemicals to be tainting their food supply like we do
here in the United States.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Somebody from Ireland the other day, from Jermalin Castle, told
me that Ireland has a new drunk driving law. They
call it drink driving there. Zero zero is what you
must show if you're pulled over and you could blow
in the breathalyzer in Ireland, of all places.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Very interesting the societal shift occurring with the Irish.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I guess, so, do you think you can have one
pint and still get away with zero or probably not?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Huh not? Within probably a couple hours drinking. So that
is an interesting shift, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Young people seem to be driving according to the stats,
this move away from alcohol. Do you think it's because
they are using cannabis instead?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I think a lot of young people are, and maybe
older people too. You know, I don't think the police
department and enforcement really knows how to get their hands
around cannabis use and cannabis testing. I think it's much
more prevalent than people want to believe, kind of like
cel phone use with people driving, with the with all people,
(05:51):
but the young generation especially is such. It's so prevalent
and so dangerous.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
If somebody came into you and you know, Doc, I
got to have a little buzz of some kind. Should
I use marijuana or should I use alcohol? What would
you say?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I would probably suggest red wine. I think that's probably
the safest poison. I just never had been into the
cannabis camp. I think it's still a gateway type of drug,
and we just don't know the long term and even
the short term side effects, which I think will turn
out to be quite significant.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Interesting. I don't know about the gateway thing. I'm not
so sure about that. But you are the doctor, so
we will listen to you. Red wine not white wine.
Red wine? Why the distinction?
Speaker 3 (06:47):
You know, there's like sugar in the red wines. They
tend to be dryer. And you know, nothing wrong with
white wine either. But if you're looking for consumption, the
effect on glucose and insulin, probably going to see the
less for red wine, and the cannons and red wine
supposedly have some respratral and such. You this they may
(07:07):
have some help.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
The well Scott Ellis from the Michigan Licensed Beverage Association
just drove off the road. And it wasn't because he
was drinking it, just because he's fearful of the idea
of not drinking. Whycoughwellness dot com spell at wy co
