Remember the big story about 2014’s TACT Study (the Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy)? Well, in light of its success, now there’s going to be a followup study, TACT 2. Dr. Tony Lamas, the TACT Director, joins us to discuss the implications of the original TACT Study, and what we can expect from TACT 2. The results of TACT were a surprise to the medical community—they strongly suggest that intravenous chelation with EDTA can reduce the risk of subsequent cardiac events in heart attack sufferers. The protective effect was particularly dramatic in diabetic patients. Why were the results greeted with such skepticism? Why isn’t chelation now being embraced by the medical community? Now that we know chelation works, do we know how? What additional information is being sought in TACT 2? What insights does TACT bring us for our understanding of how environmental heavy metals like lead and cadmium promote disease? Were the vitamins that patients took in the TACT Study beneficial?

Give the gift of healthy chocolate!
If you have a sweet tooth like me, the holiday season can be full of temptation.
Thankfully, FlavaNaturals’ line of products ensures chocolate lovers like me can obtain the full health benefits of cocoa flavanols along with great taste—all with less fat and sugar!
Cocoa is one of the most thoroughly-investigated functional foods on the planet. That’s why I take plentiful, flavanol-rich cocoa supplementation daily and have long recommended it to my patients and audience. But just taking any store-bought dark chocolate won’t deliver its benefits; FlavaNaturals cocoa products contain 5-9 times the beneficial flavanols of typical dark chocolate. I throw some powder in with my decaf or a smoothie, and even use it to make chia chocolate pudding!
Right now, FlavaNaturals is offering special holiday savings for my audience: Save 20% through December 19th with code HOFFMAN20
