All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg · Supercharging a New FDA: Marty Makary on Science, Power & Patients · 15 Jan 2026 podcast

Yeah, and the underlying environmental contributors, there's just so much going on that's different in our environment and our food system that are also being addressed that over time hopefully will result in maybe less of the general health effects caused by, call it an adverse environment.

Okay, last question.

What's most exciting to you in the frontiers of science in human health?

You're optimistic about the pipeline you're seeing there?

Well, for that, I don't know how anyone could disagree with the sentiment, the intent.

Thanks for the service.

Thanks for the work, Marty.

It's been great chatting today, and thanks for being with me.

Freakonomics Radio · 658. This Is Your Brain on Supplements · 9 Jan 2026 podcast

AlphaBrain is one of the most important supplements that I've ever found ever in my life, if not the most important one, and the one that I cherish the most.

Marty McCary, commissioner of the FDA.

Yeah, we've announced that we are challenging the GRAS standard, which basically says food companies can put a new chemical in food if they generally recognize it as safe.

You have to show us that something is safe if you want to add a newly engineered chemical into the U.S.

food supply that children are going to eat.

We have to look at every aspect.

Now, for example, we know that if you drink a can of soda, the caffeine can have a slight positive impact on your short-term memory.

Now, are we going to crack down on a social media influencer who says, you know, I drank this caffeinated drink to help me with my memory?

We have to prioritize what is safeguarding the public versus what's simply cracking down for cracking down's sake.

And so we've got to look at all of it and then come up with a priority list of where to start.
