The Benefits of Aged Garlic Extract, Part 1
August 14, 2014
Can Aged Garlic Extract (Kyolic) reduce plaque in the coronary arteries? We talk to Dr. Matthew Budoff, cardiology researcher at UCLA, about his latest study using precise arterial imaging to quantify the benefits of daily intake of Aged Garlic Extract; How does Aged Garlic Extract exert its therapeutic effects? How does Aged Garlic Extract compare to other garlic supplements? What about the allicin controversy? Is it better to just eat a lot of garlic? Does garlic have benefits for other bodily systems? Is it cancer preventive? We also discuss coronary imaging and it’s potential to spot developing arterial wall deposits well before they result in heart attacks—who’s a candidate for the test, which scan is right for you, and how often should you be tested.

Are supplements worthless? Part 1
July 31, 2014
Are vitamin and mineral supplements worthless? Are antioxidants dangerous? We turn to Dr. Balz Frei, Professor of Biochemistry & Biophysics, Director of the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University for answers. Was Linus Pauling wrong about taking vitamin C at high doses to “bowel tolerance”?How much vitamin C can the body absorb at a time? Could intravenous vitamin C prove helpful for cancer? Is there a problem with the research methods we currently rely upon to evaluate the efficacy of vitamins and supplements? Should cancer patients getting chemo or radiation stop taking their vitamins?

The Obesity Paradox, Part 1
July 22, 2014
The Obesity Paradox: when heavier means healthier and thinner means sicker; Dr. Hoffman interviews Dr. Chip Lavie, author of a controversial book that posits that sometimes those excess pounds may be not really all that bad. Is there also an "exercise paradox"? A "cholesterol paradox"? A "blood pressure paradox"? Can svelte be dangerous, especially for seniors? Is this new-think merely an excuse for doctors and patients to give up on healthy diet and physical activity? How can you tell if those extra pounds are OK, or do they pose a threat to you?
