Sugar, Bread, The Immune System Breakthrough & When to Exercise

Is spinach really bad for you? We break down the latest controversy around oxalates, calcium and whether leafy greens are as harmful as some claim.

A media doctor says two tablespoons of sugar are healthier than two slices of wholewheat bread—but is this just another viral nutrition myth? We unpack the science behind the claim.

Scientists have uncovered a new part of the immune system that could lead to a breakthrough in natural antibiotics. Could this discovery change the future of medicine?

Plus, new research suggests morning and evening workouts could lower cancer risk—does when you exercise really matter?

We also discuss why nutrition misinformation spreads so fast, why slushies are no longer recommended for kids under 8, and answer a listener's question on overcoming fear of calories in nutritious meals.
