×A recent study suggests that long-term yogurt consumption, which typically contains a genus of probiotic Bifidobacterium, is associated with a 20% decreased incidence of colorectal cancer. Listen in this week as Dee explains how Bifidobacterium works in the gut, why it may protect against the formation of tumors, and how much yogurt you need to eat each week to get the same amount reported in the study.

A century ago, goiters resulting from iodine deficiency were rampant in people living in inland states from Appalachia and the Great Lakes to the northwest United States---an area that came to be known as the "goiter belt." Iodized salt solved that problem. But now iodine deficiency and goiters are making a comeback in the U.S. Listen in this week as Dee discusses why this is happening and how to ensure you get enough iodine in your diet without iodized salt.

Two studies published in the same week reveal how seed oils like canola, corn, soy and cottonseed may increase inflammation, creating a pathway for cancer to thrive. On the flip side, omega-3-rich fish oils show promise in reducing inflammation and bolstering the immune system. Listen in this week as Dee discusses the science behind these findings and their potential impact on your health. References: Aronson, W. J., Grogan, T., Liang, P., Jardack, P., Liddell, A.

Peeling Back the Benefits: The Wonders of Banana Peel Flour Most people discard banana peels and only eat the fruit inside. However, research shows that the peels of bananas have many health benefits when dried and ground into flour. Listen in this week as Dee discusses this sustainable, nutrient-rich flour and some creative ways to incorporate banana peel flour into your recipes while reducing food waste and supporting a healthier lifestyle.

It is widely known that episodes of high stress, even short ones, temporarily impair artery function. To make things worse, people often eat high-fat foods in times of stress, which puts more stress on the cardiovascular system. Listen in this week as Dee discusses a study showing how drinking a special kind of cacao drink may be the antidote to the cardio impacts of high stress and high fat meals. Reference: Baynham, R., Veldhuijzen van Zanten, J. J. C. S. V., & Rendeiro, C. (2024).

Why do people regain weight more quickly than expected after successfully losing it? Research shows that once someone has been overweight or obese, the genes in their fat cells undergo changes, creating a "memory" of the overweight state.

Reference: Hinte, L. C., Castellano-Castillo, D., Ghosh, A., Melrose, K., Gasser, E., Noé, F., Massier, L., Dong, H., Sun, W., Hoffmann, A., Wolfrum, C., Rydén, M., Mejhert, N., Blüher, M., & Von Meyenn, F. (2024).

1 Why the 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Likely Won't Take a Stance Against Ultra-Processed Foods 9:49
A promising change for the USDA's 2025 Dietary Guidelines to suggest limiting or avoiding ultra-processed foods has been dashed. A scientific advisory committee has declared there is not enough evidence to recommend avoiding them.
