Show Notes
This week, Dr. Kahn introduces the Contagion Kit at www.twc.health, along with the special coupon code Drjkahn.
The week saw two significant FDA updates: the ban on Red Dye 3 and a proposal for clearer front-of-package labeling. Dr. Kahn also discusses a new study on time-restricted eating and highlights research on reversing atherosclerosis in brain arteries using intensive cholesterol-lowering medications.
As a passionate advocate for plant-based nutrition, Dr. Kahn emphasizes the importance of eating colorful, whole plant foods. He shares a concerning new study from the Harvard School of Public Health, which links red meat consumption to memory loss. Finally, a groundbreaking paper from the University of Michigan quantifies how our food choices affect longevity.
The study reveals that eating just one hot dog may shorten life by 36 minutes, while a plant-based meal could add 48 minutes. It's a striking reminder of how every food choice can impact our health over a lifetime.
