A metastudy on pregnant women taking the painkiller acetaminophen is at odds with the leaked 'autism report' commissioned by US Health Secretary RFK Jr. Also, why so many people avoid information about their own health, and a beautiful obituary.

  • Awesome podcast

    I make it habit of trying to catch this podcast on CBC Radio early Sunday mornings. Very insightful yet not overwhelming with what’s happening in the world now. A must listen…

    Hello

    I am listening from west coast Vancouver Island.

    I used to listen late at night on CBC when I was not sleeping, then I retired (and sleep better) and found you as a pod cast. Love your podcast, very interesting. I love your comments, snorts, outrage and laughter. It makes me feel like we’re all talking together.

    Don’t change ! Your personal insights are interesting and helpful.
