Streaming Chicago's progressive talk from TuneIn World and what we can do before it's too late, renowned author Joseph Chilton Pierce writes, To discover brilliant, innovative, creative and original thinking is one of life's rare privileges. To discover that such a thinker has focused on the most critical of all issues facing our species is encouraging. Because the last hours of ancient sunlight is a seminal work offering a viewpoint original yet ancient, I see our situation today in a new light and because of the scope and depth of this work, I find it inspiring as well as disturbing. I rather exhausted superlative and praise of Tom Hartman's book, The Prophet's which Way, I rightly called the most important book I've ever read. But now I find the sequel calling for equal praise, since the issue here addresses the whole of our species and indeed all species.

This came out of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and the Massachusetts General Health Care System and it published was in the Journal of the American Medical Association, no slouch organization, a peer -reviewed scientific journal. And the title of the report is Sugar -Sweden and Artificially Sweetened Beverages and Risk of Liver Cancer and Chronic Liver Disease Mortality. This was a study of 100 ,000 postmenopausal women as part of the prospective Women's Health Initiative Study and it followed a median of more than 20 years. 20 year long study, 100 ,000 women. And what they found and they were looking at liver cancer and deaths due to chronic liver diseases including fibrosis, cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis and other related things. And they note that roughly 65 % of American adults drink sugar -sweetened or artificially sweetened beverages on a daily basis. Two -thirds of Americans every single day. Well this is what they found. The 6 .8 % of women who consumed one or more sugar -sweetened beverages daily had an 85 % higher risk of liver cancer and a 68 % higher risk of liver disease mortality compared with those who had fewer than three months. Wow. So I guess the safe level of a sugar -sweetened beverage is like three times a month? Don't even think about drinking sugar -sweetened stuff every single day. This is incredible. It's an incredible study. So, anyhow,

EPA Tests Air, Water for Chemicals After Ohio Train Derailment
"Know they're actually testing the water right now in Louisville, Kentucky? This is how serious of a situation we're dealing with, and yet nothing from The White House. Nothing at all. So there is grave concern about what's going on. Now we understand that 5 of the derailed tanker cars were carrying vinyl chloride. Now this is a pretty standard chemical that's used in manufacturing plastics. There's a pretty good chance you have items in your household that were created using vinyl chloride. But there's a problem when vinyl chloride catches fire and explodes. It has been linked to all sorts of very horrible things, including brain cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, cancers of the blood. Reading from The Washington Post, but much of what we know about how this chemical affects people is from studies of workers who breathed it for long stretches of time. It's less understood how a sudden release, such as the one in Ohio, could affect people living nearby, or how the authorities decision to burn off the vinyl chloride might affect its dispersal. My understanding is vinyl chloride is actually more dangerous when it sat on fire. The EPA says it's monitoring other chemicals, by the way, those weren't the only chemicals there. I mean, this is a, this is a bad, bad thing. The Environmental Protection Agency says its modern monitoring two other chemicals, including hydrogen chloride that may be released into the air. Neither of these is good news.

How to Live A Fantastic Life

"Well, that's absolutely true. And I think we have to live our lives the way we want to the best we can. But we have to do it with principles that we think are best. And I've always thought a person should have a list of their life of non negotiables, things that they won't negotiate, like for me, I try to exercise every day. And my family is on that list of non negotiables of things that they take precedence to everything else. And those are my non negotiables. What are your non negotiables? You know, it's easy. It's interesting that you asked that. I had a friend that I went through high school with. And when we were in the corporate grind, we would call back and forth, and we would talk about retirement. And how many days to retirement? And one of the things that struck us was that if we were around the house that much, our wives would kill us. And our golf games were really bad. So we decided that retirement for us was going to be fun things with interesting people and write it all off as a business expense. Well, Brian died passed away suddenly of liver cancer. But when I turned 50, I started to think about and I'm like, I'm going to retire. So I'm only going to do fun things with interesting people and write it off as a business expense. So I still want it to be profitable because as I'm blessed, I can bless other people with that. But I've got those that check marks or that litmus test is this fun, is that people that I want to work with. And if it's not, I'm going to pass and say, no, thank you. It could be a great opportunity, but it's not one for me. There's another sort of litmus test I look at. Derek sivers, who was the founder of CD baby, which is the precursor to iTunes. He wrote a book and I always loved the title of it. And it was heck yes or no. And he said in life there was always two answers. Tech yes or no. And the more you said that the more clarity you got. If I'm offered an opportunity, I looked at my gut and say, is this something I really, really want to do? And if not, I'll pass on it. So those are sort of my litmus test, my gut checks that I use. I'm going to ask another provoking question and that is if you met a younger version of yourself today..

Because like we're word met of prime importance so here. These verses are researchers that time discover they they. They thought they had discovered the important thing of all about food called a protein and so ever since then we have made decisions Both privately as well as commercially. And you know publicly. We make commissioners. That's the main thing when you special perky usually meant protein from animal sources and and plants provide all the protein. We we do not need to eat. Animal bass rose to get the parking so the protein idea has really come just sort of locked into rather narrow way about six. Yeah i would agree and you know. I've i've asked you this question before. But the china study was written almost twenty years ago. Now can you share with us. How you came to write it and for anyone. Who hasn't read at what was what were your main findings. I grew up on a farm milking cows. And so i was very much at school thinking. If you will like many other people were and I wanted to school did graduate work and in by dr dissertation i actually. I did it on the question with an attempt to advanced consumption more protein animal. That is so that was my background. And so when. I got my purse tackler position not too long after i saw some i.

Chance of all things was crazy but intact it does. It does much testing this and kind of works out With across the board with the kinds of information we have so. I went through the years. i focus on that question but then learning a lot of other things along the way. That nutrition is not about individual nutrition. What they do is technically i. Suppose you can say that but What we need to do is considered the whole food. The way nature prepared and let our bodies determine how much of this whatever else is in the food really wants to send here or there or elsewhere. So yeah no there. So we'll finish concept and what we're what. We had two years to multiple over the years in verse. Society should not have a frog been very much influenced by how much protein is in the food.

"You have a relationship between guns and butter so i considered you know maybe history because that's sounded serious and just considered that well just a bunch of true story. So how hard could that be. I knew i could never major an english because the girls at yale who majored in english had amazing hair and super long eyelashes and they had beautiful clothes. And i didn't stand the chance. So i think i took a few writing classes and actually won some prizes but it never occurred to me that i could be a writer now. Why is that well because and my mind. Writers were people like sinclair lewis. I was born in south korea. English was my second language and in the late eighties when i was in college. I decided that i would take an asian american literature class just to figure out if there were any asian american writers. I didn't know of a single korean american writer then and when i took the class in the syllabus they were to korean american women who had written novels the first one i read was by an author named theresa hot coun- cha who wrote a wonderful book called dictate. It's incredibly innovative. And smart. and it's still read today and immediately. After she published a book she was murdered in one thousand nine hundred eighty two. We still don't know what happened. They haven't caught. The person killed her. And then i read another novel. A historical novel called clay walls by run young kim and immediately after she published her book. She died of cancer. So for korean-american women. If you wrote a novel you died. I declared my major in history now. The second thing that i brought up earlier about my high school years was that i was i. Hepatitis b. chronic carrier in high school. I was as symptomatic and in college. It turned out that i would get very very ill and my doctor at yale newhaven hospital said that i would get liver cancer in my twenties or early thirties. My parents were working the day that i went to go see. The doctor and i had gone to the hospital by myself. And i remember listening to dr. Rubin say these things and the only thing that i thought was. I had to be very careful with my time before. I graduated from college. I attended a lecture featuring an american missionary a nice white man who had gone to japan to help. The poor korean people are living there.

That's probably how we're going to get the donor was like okay right and you know i. I don't want to take us onto five attention but this next part was completely unexpected. There was another chinese pastor and his wife who went to a different church than i was part of but they knew my sister my brother in law and so they were praying for him to deliver. Okay well couple of weeks later. A former deranged member of that church came back to one of the services with a a weapon and shot and killed that pastor as well as the head deacon in chinatown. I don't know if you know that story. And so that afternoon of the killing of the husband. The wife calls me up. This is before cell. Phones calls me at the church and says hey so You know we've been praying for months that you're brother-in-law get deliver well. Would you like to have my husband's like what you know at the time. You're not even thinking that theology it's like is that god answers prayers. That's nice. oh wow so did it. Did it work that transplant. So i we had to ask by sister and her husband. This is a donor that you know who was just horribly killed in the middle of a worship service. You wanna go for this. So that will you know. There's nothing that can prepare you for that question and so finding my sister. My brother-in-law with their little babies. They said okay well with our beliefs like we believe however horrible is death was you know. He's he's now in heaven so it's a match of the tissues. So how do we say no to this right so they put my brother-in-law start prepping for surgery and they are harvesting the other person's liver and then we finally get word hours later when my brother-in-law's in recovery that when they went into get deliver the bullets had done too much damage to the pastor's liver and it was unusable and so my brother-in-law woke up out of his. You know anesthesia fog. And it's like so. Do i have passer so-and-so's liver in my sister had to say no. You still have yours. With the tumor. They had the so. You backed up. Yeah yeah so.

An accident they medevac deliver over to the ucla hospital and my my brother in law was in surgery for like eight hours and long story short when the surgeon came back to the waiting room. The talk to all of us he said. So much time elapsed. And we weren't giving him chemo. Because we're trying to keep the chemo out of his buddy that when we finally got ready to do the transplant the cancer had gone into his bile duct and without that bile duct. We can't use the liver so we just showed them up and were saying you have to take into hospice care and so basically you know he. He died of that. I mean it was an unbelievable journey for you know our whole family. I can't imagine what it was like for my sister in him. But i know i know that from sorry thank you. I mean one of the things that we did learn. And maybe this is news to some of our audience that many asian immigrants actually have hepatitis. And you know. I don't know if that's how your dad had the virus But a lot of times if the birth mother has it even though she's a symptomatic just passing the baby out of her she passes on the virus and riot those babies okay literally literally one of those babies. Yeah twenty three. Which of you know. Asian the asian people. You know i. it's just in us. But if you're one of the three you can have active and inactive tested for the virus. I i i did. And i would have to get blood work every year with my mom because of this and my mom's still says to me matthew you know we have to be extra careful because of this fact you know and and i think i was like fifteen sixteen when i got blood drawn. They said it was inactive. Now shut for all those years. Yeah so it. Yeah men The medical field and and technology behind that thank goodness for it yet that we have the ability to check and get blood work in to stay up to date and Especially during this time where people are getting vaccinated now and You know people have overcome d- some people have had more severe complications but the medical field You know that hats off to everyone that is working super super hard during this time because it's not a lot of a lot of them certain of when you get diagnosed even when we when we catch cova. I think a lot more people regardless. If you're healthy young can resonate with that fear of. Wow i have this what now or i got the vaccine in. What will my symptoms be. And i think. Just there's so much humanity in that in those moments and i think You know i just. It's i hope no one is going through. Were going through death or have some of that. They love going through death but It's like the inevitable that we all kind of deal with eventually in in our in our life and there's some kind of weird Camaraderie team feeling when you hear about someone else. That has a close family member that had liver cancer. Kinda lost that battle.

I played nursing school or something. I don't know but during this whole period i don't develop decides which is fluid in the abdomen. And at that point. I went and saw a hepatitis. And that's sorta one nicer to see a liver specialist but didn't really carry on until recently when i started going into have pathology and i said you know what i want. I really wanted to go see a have tala. Just make sure. Everything's okay because i'm learning more about the cardiac affecting the liver and so forth so it just really started recently that i started seeing a half the tallest and got more invested within the past year to okay. So what exactly have they done to assess your liver. I had imaging done every six months and that involves and ultrasound. Cats can as well as blood were. And that's done about every six months and that looks to see if the liver has any sort of damage to it because when you have this increased pressure your liver can develop scar tissue which can look psoriatic which can then lead to liver cancer. That's what we're looking for but often if you have a radiologist that and knowledgeable about this. They can mistake. The appearance of a congested liver for cirrhosis. Which is where there needs to be more information and research right so now talking about fault are fontane associated liver disease. That wasn't even an expression twenty years ago right. This is something that i think we do need to train the radiologists and hepatic jests because it's kind of new phenomenon you're twenty nine. My son's twenty six. There's this huge cohort that are in their mid to late twenties and even thirties and forties. That have survived to this age. That didn't before so now there's a whole lot of information and a lot more of you patients out there effort before. Yeah it's amazing. How many of us are surviving now. And now we're kind of dealing with this. Oh my gosh all these people are surviving and now all these quote unquote complications from the surgery. Twenty thirty years ago now. We have to make sure that their health long term is okay right. Girls are looking at these other things like the liver and so forth so there's a lot missing as far as the research and knowledge. I don't think it's as developed jet that needs to be. Yeah it's to get there. Yeah i think so too. I think that we have a lot of doctors and researchers now who are realizing. Wait a minute just because they have a heart defect. That doesn't mean that's the only organ that can be compromised and especially as you guys grow up and live long term. It's just like people like me. Who do have a healthy heart. I have to watch out for my other organs as well. Because as they age things can happen whether you have a c- hd or not. Yeah you're exactly right. I'm kind of surprised that you decided to focus on the lever as a profession. Because i don't hear too many nurses who are doing that. Can you tell me why you chose to do that. I actually was going to look into congenital defect cardiology. I did that as a nurse. Not so much. General heart defects for cardiology. And as i went into the nurse. Practitioner world i started doing gastroenterology and then the holiday and i just thought it was so fascinating. Cassisi how the long term effects from the heart diseases specifically see. Hd affects the liver eggs. A long term outcomes. Because there's so much we don't know and there's other liver diseases that i'm interested in as well like hep c. Abbas really passionate about and focusing on that for a while. But then i realize it actually met some patients that were like me with a single ventricle at also had liver disease and at the time. The gastroenterologist that i was working with was kind of overwhelmed. That seeing this liver and this young person.

"We have had hepatitis B vaccines available for a number of years, even decades, But the older vaccines were a little bit difficult to get through the entire syriza vaccination because they required Reshot given over six months so many people didn't complete that month. Fully protected. We now have a newer vaccine called helpless of B. This is a two dose vaccine that you finished within one month and then you're fully protected so that in of itself is a huge advancement. With his wife partnered with the makers of helpless of the Dyna Vac to raise awareness about hepatitis C and about vaccination. You might be wondering, Is this gonna cause me any side effects it can cause mild side effects. Arm soreness or fatigue or headache, but you wouldn't be expected to have any severe side effects and again the upside it protect yourself from a really dangerous virus, two shots within one month Yeah, I mean, absolutely. And that's what astonishes me because this question I want to make sure we got this in because it's really bugging me. Why hasn't hepatitis B already been eliminated if there's been a vaccine available for more than 40 years? I mean, not everyone can be a chicken like me. What gives? It's a great question and up Until recently, we haven't really focused on vaccinating the general population. We were focusing on the highest risk groups. So those having unprotected sex those using intravenous drugs those with HIV, those who are on Dialysis machines for kidney failure. Etcetera healthcare workers included there, but in reality, this type of virus will continue to circulate in the community, especially a virus like this. That may not cause any symptoms. Might spread from person to person with an England realized. So now we focus on vaccinating Children, and we also have the vaccine available to adults. Even if you don't necessarily fall in the what is considered a high risk population. You can go to your doctor and get back to me. So this because you're concerned about being exposed to the virus and what it may do to you if you develop chronic hepatitis C I love that now, when you're talking to people about this, and of course you're a doctor specializing in this. What do you find to be the biggest shocker to your patients when they're finding out about this when they're saying, Oh, my God, I had no idea that hepatitis B blank blank blank. What do you find it to be? The biggest surprises When you're educating people on this. I think a lot of people don't recognize that hepatitis B can stay in your body long term. Right, and that it is a major cause of cirrhosis, liver failure, liver cancer, the major cause of the need for liver transplant. And so I don't know that everyone appreciates how severe disease that can be, but hepatitis B very different type of buyer. Unbelievable. You got a lot of people out there. Where do we send them? For more information, Helpless have be calm for information about hepatitis C about how to protect yourself. And about the vaccine. Happy with them. Be excellent, doctor.

There's hard it requires long studies is hard to do randomized trials, if not impossible, And if you wanna make regulatory policy on nutrition science, it's a tough thing to do. Can you explain the mechanisms by which obesity could be a driver of cancer? Many possible mechanisms. We don't think it's a single thing. Obesity is associated with alterations of certain hormone levels that we think might have a carcinogenic effect. Obesity in some situations appears to be assisting with chronic inflammation. Which we think can be a driver's cancer. And then obesity might be a proxy for other behaviors that confounded this analysis and really the cancer driver. I think the present data or quite strong that as obesity becomes a greater problem, United States we're seeing more of certain kinds of cancer like breast cancer and gastric cancer and liver cancer. They tend to be the solid organ cancers and then that predominantly driven by obesity or no. Yeah, we think largely it's cancers of the upper GI track, the liver and gall bladder and the stomach.

This is Janek Ke vich Any issues? What? We're basically the agreed upon magic words. Now you can smash your telephone. The reason he wanted to smash the telephone was because the night before after that, sorry, the order general mobilization. That's our had been called back and changed his mind. This time he was going to smash his telephone. So we know what the what the generals wanted. It was clear. They want a general mobilization. That's more or less the way general. See things. I mean, they're planning a war. They want to make sure they have every advantage possible so soon enough is the one who should have one of these could have Intervened, not simply to stop it. I mean, here's the thing. He's actually the one who made it happen. It's not just the one who didn't stop that. He's actually the one who made it happen. The fiction of partial mobilization, full mobilization. You identify that this language was used to To escape, blaming Russia at the time. It's 100 years later, Should we drop that pretends and say that mobilization is mobilization secret means that the Russians had malice in their hearts when they started partial Well, they're still argument about this. Of course, 100 years later now I'm not sure that I will say that partial mobilization did not exist, at least on paper on paper that exist on paper. There was a plan. They absolutely have an idea that they were going to try to mobilize against Austria, Hungary alone. They talked about this in 1912. They talked about putting it in emotion. In fact, during the first Balkan war in November, 1912 and back then the argument had been about Well, what will the Germans say? Because to mobilize against Austria, we have to use Russian Poland in the railway. Up of war. So on the Germans will inevitably be alarmed and so on and so forth. Practically speaking, it's almost impossible to mobilize against Austria, Hungary without also mobilizing against Germany. In fact, it was no sharp Distinction between the variance. There were, however, variance in the stages of mobilization. That is the period preparatory to war as it was called, which was secret. It's Took long enough to kind of transpire. That is nearly a week before it got to the stage where it was really undeniable, and the red placards went up, and so on. The whole point of the thing was to give Russia plausible deniability. Okay? I don't think it's entirely a fiction that there was some stage before general mobilization. But as far as what their attorney East, officially announcing, to the public into the French and the British, I I do think that was full. Got that. Is that this thing? Look, this is on Lee mobilization against Austria because in the Germans are, of course, forced on the defensive and they're trying to say But look, you know, we have this evidence that the Russians are mobilizing on our frontier, which was in fact true. The Russians have plausible die ability, which they needed for diplomatic purposes. Mostly to being Britain, and they could more or less count on friends. They were pretty sure they could count on France. Britain was the wild card. So Britain Woz what the partial mobilization Diplomacy was about it was about winning over Britain for belligerents will turn the London next so far in the accused list. I add that the Romanoff's entirely the Grand Duke and his brother, That's our says on off the foreign minister, certainly, and the ambassadors at the critical capitals.

Interview with Andrea Wilson Woods
"Welcome back. I've got Andrea Wilson Woods on the line Andrea. How are you? I'm good. Thank you. Great to have you here in the pre-show. We were talking about all kinds of different things we could talk about and we're in the middle of a pandemic at the time of this recording so we had talked about, you know loss in in grief, and I know that's something we want to dive in and your backstory a bit off beforehand, but ultimately, you know, when we will get to the point of with covid-19 and and some of the losses and and the grief that people are facing right now. So sure what the audience your backstory and in the world to do. I'm sure so when I was twenty-two years old, I was living in Los Angeles. I had graduated from college and I was trying to figure things out like most people I think and I ended up getting custody of my then eight-year-old sister Adrienne and I became her legal guardian and I was her only parent and I raised her. All through my 20s until a month after her fifteenth birthday. She was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer and it was really shocking. I mean she was a very active kid. She had no symptoms until the day she felt pain which was the day and ER doctor told us what he saw on her CAT scan and that was day one of her very short 107 day off cancer journey, and she died a few months after my 29th birthday and it just changed the course of my life because she she was everything to me and so about a year later after I turned Thirty. I started a non-profit dedicated to primary liver cancer and I like to tell people that when I took my advice on this, you know, I did not want to start a non-profit. It was not like in my dreams when I was a little girl. I wasn't stupid scared me. It's just at that time. There was not a single organization involved. Us doing anything about her particular type of cancer and that's the only reason I started one. I'm so grateful I did and I've been doing that over 17 years and then less than two years ago. I actually started a health Tech startup. It's a for-profit. It's for all cancer patients and caregivers. And then I also published a book last fall which is about raising and losing my sister to liver cancer and it's called better off bald. What's amazing work you do and and I agree when we're little kids. We don't tend to think long going to run a non-profit no choice firefighters police officers or or you know leaders of businesses or you know race car drivers or princesses or all options are on there. I don't recall wage are running a nonprofit is being on my original list. Oh I did I did run a few non-profit organizations for a little over a decade. So I now that I am Don't I can't say that I I miss some elements of it. I miss others of course, but there are some aspects of it. I don't miss it at all. But that's another story for another day. So I see you had all of those things happen in the in the you had thrust on you. Okay, you're going to be a caregiver now and then a very short window of time after that unfortunate bounce houses. And and when you go through something like that, you know, it it for me it wouldn't you know, I talked with people that have gone through something like this is with the shock of it. All is so intense that it you know for some it says just makes them Nam. It's like they're not, you know, they're still grieving they hurt or in pain and they're sad. It's just the shock of the the quickness of it. All is something that a lot of people, you know has a long-term effect on them just a shock of how in the world that that just home. What will you know any like what hippie it kind of thing. So I'm sure you've experienced something similar to that. Of course, you know with working with people that have to deal with that horrible horrible disease thought I lost many family members to cancer and a variety of different types too. And it's devastating for families and everything, but I'm sure they knew people that you work with and all of that that's gotta be one of the biggest thing I have to deal with is just the shock of of hearing that news and and trying to navigate through it. Yeah. Definitely. I mean I've in addition to my sister. I've lost five other family members to five different kinds of cancer and birth. I agree. I mean when you're in it cancer forces you to live very much in the present and you know, you're making decisions often on the Fly and you're just you're just ended and your office certainly adapting to changes the often you have no control over but then after whether it's after you survived cancer after your loved one dies, you know then off. Just sort of go through all those emotions and you know, there are the five stages of grief and what's interesting is, you know, people think that they go in a certain order know they don't, you know, anger depression a bargaining acceptance Cohen denial, right? I have accepted my sister's death for a long time, but the one stage of grief I had never experienced was anger because I didn't know who to be angry at and I was really, you know, I didn't know and there were plenty of other people who are angry might be half. So I didn't I didn't have to do that but a few years ago, I was watching this TV show TV show Netflix and the final episode was this girl walking across the stage in her high school graduation, and then it faded to walking across the stage in her college graduation and my sister loves school. She was an honor student 4.0 GPA. She already knew where she wanted to go to college. I mean, she she had all these plans and for some reason and that dog Moment that hit me and it was I was angry like I was just furious and and the anger just to hit me more than fifteen years later. I'm really shocked me, you

First of all, he was clearly a man with AIDS and it wasn't going to be around very long and I wasn't going to keep silent about. How he got that. because I had lost so many friends myself very brave people who've been openly gay and dealing with the prejudice. Most of all. I knew that the world would be kindly or to rock if somebody spoke intelligently about what sort of man he was and honestly they were lying brost hunter, his producer was lying and talking about a watermelon diets and things. And the liver cancer liver cancer just ridiculous panicked responses. And I. I didn't I couldn't take it. And Rock ended up sending his biographer to meet me he said you're the first person I should talk to so. I realized that he understood what I had done. Why done it but a lot of queers didn't really. Thought it was a betrayal because they were still that code of secrecy you must.

It is dysfunction make American healthcare great again is pouring money into healthcare and yet more than a third one in three Americans either have no the health insurance all insurance that comes with big medical bills that they can't afford politicians and activists saying this is not good enough. They will just want a chance to get their healthcare without doing broke America. We're focused on because they gotta rest. They're ah one of the big ideas to fix. This is Medicare for all. I wrote the bill. That's right but everyone on the same government plan kind of like what they do in Canada the UK it's one Medicare to rule them all and some police say it's my precious that is it'll fix all our healthcare problems. All out of pocket expenses are gone Medicare for all. Is the gold standard but others say. Wait a SEC. This shall not pass one medicare for all. It's dangerous for the millions of Americans who have good in health insurance. This new thing will be was gonna take away the right of people to choose they wanNA take it away. Give you lousy healthcare. It's pretty incredible and conservative outlet. Skeptical to this thing. Look what's happening in other countries. That do this kind of thing like the UK or Canada. You Want Health Gatt Eh. That waited in the hallways waiting for a kidney transplant. So I want the millennials who think that they love socialism so much to look at what's going on in the UK and see either a future said today on the show The millennials who love socialism so much deluded if they would just put down not talking that Avocado Toast for one second and look around and the healthcare in the UK. What would they say we're going to get past the stump speeches isn't talking heads and look at the data to find out who is to blame for the broken healthcare system in the US? And how do we fix it. He's Medicare for all all the best way to go. Because when it comes to health cam there's lots of O'Neill's who think that. They love socialism so much but then does science. Science says healthcare is coming up after the break. Welcome back. Today we're asking is Medicare for all the dream that will solve America's healthcare woes currently the US spends three point six trillion dollars lives on healthcare trillions with a T. It's about eighteen percent of genie pay. It's huge and when you compare it to other wealthy countries the US is about twice as much per person so tons of money is being poured into the system that doesn't manage to cover everyone. They fix it. The first thing we want to do is to take a close. Look at that big pile of money. Where is it going is very very very clear that we're overpaying states dramatically? That's Professor Harold Pollack Healthcare expert at the University of Chicago and he says Al Price Tags for basically basically everything just too high. That's true for hospital. Care for Pharmaceuticals is true for pretty much everything so for example the exact same in cholesterol lowering drug exact same cost sixty six stole is more in the US per month than in France an MRI. On average costs. Three hundred Dole is more in the US compared to the UK pacemakers cost thousands of dollars more in the US compared to Germany over and over again academics found that things are just more expensive in the US. A famous economist. Ost Why is health care is so expensive in the US. He's ANSA quite. It's the prices stupid okay. So why is America getting shafted on prices. Well if you've got off tic TAC and started reading the economist instead you would know of a little thing called the free market to be more specific in the US. We've got the manufacturers like drug companies. The service providers like doctors and hospitals and the insurance companies are in the middle. The insurance companies negotiate the other to the hospitals and the doctors does that the prices that they're willing to pay and he is. What's been happening? Say Your an insurance company about to go into a pricing battle with the hospital. So you imagine that that I'm Bluecross Blueshield of someplace and I go to the fancy fancy hospital you walk up to that really Nice hospital cutting edge treatment amazing doctors beautiful lobby and you start you negotiation so you ask. How much is your liver? Cancer Treatment Hospital tells you it's seventy two thousand dollars and you say she. You know your Liberte heard cancer. Treatment seems awfully expensive. And you know we really WANNA pay Less the hospital can say back. Well I'm sorry. Seventy two thousand thousands dollars is our price. If if you don't WanNa pay that's fine you can explain to your members that they can go down to the county hospital and get liver cancer care. They'll be a lot cheaper MHM and is very very hard for the private insurers to say okay you know well We're GONNA Walk Away Insurance Company. He isn't a bit of a bind. Either they suck it up and pay the high prices or risk losing business because their plans. Don't cover this treatment and the hospitals can afford to negotiate this way because they are fast becoming the only game in town he's over the last few decades lodge hospitals have been merging. They've been gobbling up mom and pop private practices as well as the hospitals and that means in many places hospitals have become a kind of monopoly monopoly according to a survey from two thousand sixteen more than one hundred million people in the US living places with quote moderate to highly concentrated hospital title markets and that is giving these hospitals a disturbing amount of market power and that allows them to charge awfully high prices. Some of them are essentially the size of a fortune and five hundred company. And we don't think of them as a you know as as a major corporation but in many ways. That's that's what they are and that's the way they behave hospitals already. Eddie tend to be more expensive than private practices and research has found that as hospitals. Gobble up things. They Jack up the prices even more so for example studies. Lisa found that prices generally increase by around ten percent after a merger and hospitals are the only bad guy him if insurance companies do get had a bad deal. Studies have found. They don't suck it up. They often passed the box along to their customers and there are other players to mechanic getting gouged left left right and center. Drug Company Manufacturers Doctors. Everybody who sells a BANDAID so they're many villains to this piece in terms of why the costs Kassir so high and they ease one more villain. That's worth talking about. He and that villain paperwork a big chunk of that not all that but a big chunk of that is stupid annoying stuff that is very wasteful with all these different groups. Haggling with each other and haggling with you. It's a lot of time time and money and dumb lettuce promising to explain your benefits and a study from last year found that all of that crap really adds adds up to more than two hundred billion dollars. That's right eight percent of what we spend on. Healthcare is spent on administration. That is way more than other wealthy countries. Okay so now. We know why. America's health care is so expensive time to talk about how to except and this some politicians say is where Medicare for all comes in when it comes to solving the cost most problem. He's one way that Medicare for all could fix it. If you want to take power away from hospitals and pharmaceutical companies to set the prices you could replace all these insurance companies with one big bat us a government health plan Imagine that scenario you heard before fancy hospital says okay Buck Ru. It's seventy two thousand dollars for liver. Cancer Treatment is hey we you pay fifty. That's what we pay. And that's a fundamentally different position and so you're using the leverage the the tremendous Indus marketing power on the demand side of the federal government all the millions and millions of people. That would be in one plan to really

Aflatoxins in Nuts: Danger or Hype?
"Due to their relatively high fat content. But these aren't just empty calories along with those healthy unsaturated fats. You're also getting fiber and protein which help keep you from getting hungry. And that could be why dieters who include nuts in their meal. Plans lose more weight and report feeling less hungry, and in general people who eat nuts on a regular basis are more likely to maintain a healthy weight. Despite those calories nuts are also rich in vitamin E, which is good for your skin heart and brain, they contain Fido stairwells natural plant compounds that help to regulate your cholesterol levels and regular consumption is linked with reduced risk of heart disease and other diseases. So far, the news is all good. But several of you have written to ask me about aspergillus or aflatoxin in nuts. And whether this is something that we need to worry about I can tell you that some of the. Scariest things you may have encountered on the internet are probably exaggerated or taken out of context. Nonetheless. These are not imaginary concerns first, let's take a minute to understand exactly what these compounds are. And we're we're likely to encounter them aspergillus is a type of fungus that's found in the soil, and it can cause disease in certain food crops, especially leg. You gms. Grains and tree nuts. An aspergillus infection can weaken the plants enough that it reduces crop yield. And that's obviously a concern for the farmers. But even when crop yields are affected, only minimally the aspergillus fungus continues to be a problem after the crops are harvested, it can cause grains or nuts to rot in storage leading to more losses for farmers or distributors. But the main concern in terms of human health is that aspergillus produces potentially harmful compounds called micro-toxins in particular were concerned about a group of micro-toxins called aflatoxin. Zain's? These are known to be carcinogenic chronic aflatoxin exposure can lead to liver damage or liver cancer, especially in individuals with pre existing conditions such as hepatitis b infection breathing in the spores of the aspergillus fungus can also cause lung irritation or damage again, especially in individuals with pre existing lung disease such as to Berkeley losses or COPD. And that's why most developed nations have very stringent monitoring for aspergillus and aflatoxin in foods products that are most likely to be infected such as peanuts or tree nuts are routinely screened, and if those aspergillus are aflatoxin levels are above a certain very low threshold the foods cannot be distributed. Now, this is obviously motivated growers to develop growing and handling practices that reduce the presence of aspergillus aflatoxin in their food and their feed. Crops, and these efforts have been very successful. According to the World, Health Organization, control strategies have mostly eliminated harmful exposures in developed countries. Unfortunately, those living in developing nations may still be exposed to harmful levels of contamination. Especially those in tropical regions where these crops may also serve as dietary staple the WHO says that food insufficiency and a lack of diversity substantially contributes to the susceptibility of individuals and communities to apple toxins, knowing you consider that hepatitis B and Turkey losses are also much more common in developing countries. You can see that apple toxins present a real public health concern in these developing nations, the World Health Organization in the centers for disease control are working hard on a number of initiatives to combat the problem everything. From public information campaigns to developing aspergillus. Resistant strains of these crops to enhanced screening protocols, but the problem is not yet solved before I share some tips on how to protect yourself against this threat word from this week's
