  • Great Podcast

    Your podcast on snoring and other sleep issues was very informative . I have had sleep issues since 2003 after l was diagnosed with Thyroid Stage 2..with life threatening surgery and 2 years of treatments which has whacked my immune system and many other medical issues. It took meds to get back to sleep and if l forget to take it l am up all night.

  • Sugar in our Drinks and Salt in Our Food -- Wrong!

    I could only stand so much of this incorrect information! The presentation on salt is incorrect. Salt is NOT well established as a major factor in high blood pressure. Powerful arguments rebut this -- read Gary Taube's "The (Political) Science of Salt". The arguments implicating salt are weak to non-existent. Insulin is a much worse offender, yet it receives no mention. Read the June 4, 2011 JAMA about a study that suggests low salt intake actually increases CVD and stroke risk!
