Monologue
Dr. Joel Wallach begins the show discuss a news article about a Harvard University study. Finding that one sugrary drink daily resulted in a 30% increased risk of heart attack or stroke. Cites the Crisco story as only being an ad campaign to sell the product. While demonizing butter and eggs with the myth that cholesterol causes plaque in the arteries.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discus a news article concerning a Gallup survey on Americans attitudes regarding medical bills. In the past year Americans borrowed some $88 billion to pay for health care. Some adluts chose not to seek treatment for a medical issue because of the cost. Another 41% of respondents also said that they did not seek care at an emergency department due to costs. Americans elected to forgo medications due to cost to the tune of 15 million not filling prescriptions due to cost.
