Is Junk Food Really So Bad? & How Buildings Affect Your Health and Behavior

What if you could drink without getting drunk? Or at least feel the effects of alcohol less? One professional beer taster has a way to do it and this episode begins with his technique. And it is really simple.. http://www.esquire.com/food-drink/drinks/how-to/a26328/how-not-to-get-drunk/ Processed food has really gotten a bad reputation. But is it fair? Is processed food really that bad? Just because a food has a long list of ingredients or has chemicals you cannot pronounce doesn’t necessarily make it unhealthy – or does it? Here to discuss this is George Zaidan, an MIT trained chemist who created National Geographic’s web series Ingredients: The Stuff Inside Your Stuff and he is author of the book Ingredients: The Strange Chemistry of What We Put in Us and on Us (https://amzn.to/2Zykgij) . Listen as he explains what some of these ingredients are in processed food, why they are there and just how dangerous or healthy they are. Given how much time you spend indoors, you might be interested in hearing how your indoor environment impacts you in all sorts of ways you may never have realized. For instance, your health, your mood, your productivity, the way you think – even your relationships are influenced by your indoor environment. Joining me to discuss the science behind this is Emily Anthes , a science journalist whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Wired, Slate, Businessweek and elsewhere. She is also author of the book The Great Indoors: The Surprising Science of How Buildings Shape Our Behavior, Health, and Happiness (https://amzn.to/2Yr8ip3). Do you have a favorite brand of dishwashing liquid? If so, why? Is one brand actually better at cleaning dishes than the others?
