The Truth About Popular Food Myths & Modest Inventions That Became Life Changing - SYSK Choice
Something You Should Know
Ever notice that every restaurant kitchen has a giant exhaust fan above the stove? There's a reason it's required by law — and it's not just about smoke. You probably have one at home too, but chances are you're not using it nearly enough. Listen as I explain why that little fan plays a surprisingly big role in keeping your home and your health safer.
"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." "A glass of wine keeps your heart healthy." "Red meat is bad for you." These are just a few of the food beliefs we've heard for years — but are they true? Cardiologist Dr. Christopher Labos, author of Does Coffee Cause Cancer?: And 8 More Myths about the Food We Eat breaks down the science behind these myths and reveals what's fact, what's fiction, and what we still don't know about the foods we love. Christopher is also co-host of The Body of Evidence podcast.
Imagine a world without nails, wheels, or springs — it wouldn't just look different, it wouldn't work. These modest inventions quietly built modern civilization. Structural engineer Roma Agrawal, who has designed bridges and skyscrapers, joins me to explain how simple objects have had world-changing impact. She's the author of Nuts and Bolts: Seven Small Inventions That Changed the World in a Big Way.
Think you can spot a lie? According to experts, the biggest giveaway isn't in a person's body language — it's in how they tell the story. Listen as I share a fascinating linguistic clue that can help you tell truth from fiction.
