  • Reliable + Evidence Based

    Evidence based, nuanced, no hype. Expert interviews, deep dives, detailed and clear explanations. My go-to source for all nutrition questions. Having listened to well over 100 episodes, Sigma has easily become my favorite podcast. Danny is an exceptional interviewer, and he and Alan have a talent for cutting through the confusion to tease out what the science really shows (and how/why). I’ve grown in careful, critical thinking in all spheres of life. Highly recommend.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#575: How Does Dairy Impact Cardiometabolic Health? – Prof. Jean-Philippe Drouin-Chartier
Q: Can you maybe give us an idea of what do we know from the broader evidence base around the consumption of these different types of dairy products on blood pressure or hypertension risk?
Milk is associated with a lower risk of hypertension, while cheese and yogurt show less clear benefits.
#575: How Does Dairy Impact Cardiometabolic Health? – Prof. Jean-Philippe Drouin-Chartier
Q: What are some of those mechanisms that would lead to higher intakes of yogurt leading to this potential risk reduction?
Yogurt's fermentation process may introduce beneficial bacteria, and its lower sodium content compared to cheese might also play a role.
#575: How Does Dairy Impact Cardiometabolic Health? – Prof. Jean-Philippe Drouin-Chartier
Q: Can you maybe give us an overview of some of the findings, not only from your analysis, but maybe how that matches up elsewhere?
Yogurt shows a consistent association with a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes, unlike milk and cheese which have less consistent associations.
#574: Microplastics & Health: What Do We Know? – Prof. Ian Mudway
Q: What research needs to be done to ensure we understand the implications of microplastics in human health?
Future research should focus on developing accurate measurement methods for microplastics, assessing their accumulation and potential harm in human tissues, and conducting studies at realistic doses to determine health impacts.
#574: Microplastics & Health: What Do We Know? – Prof. Ian Mudway
Q: What do we know about the presence of microplastics in human tissues?
Microplastics have been found sporadically in human tissues, and while this indicates they can accumulate, the exact amount and their health effects are still not well understood.
