32. Can Root Canals Contribute to Cancer Risk?   You better fasten your seatbelt for this podcast episode. Dr. Kelly J. Blodgett joins me today to discuss how oral health affects the rest of your body and the hazards of silver mercury fillings, root canals, and fluoride. I’ve never been one of those people that hated going to see the dentist. On the contrary, I always felt bad for them because no one wants to see them! Dr. B. felt called to this profession because he wanted to change how people felt about going to the dentist. I love Dr. B’s commonsense approach to dental work and oral health.

It's very nutrient dense and contains conjugated linoleic acid (I know, what the heck does that mean?), which means Bison has anti-inflammatory properties. Here are the other reasons why I love using Bison in place of ground beef: Higher amounts of omega three fatty acids. More b12, zinc, iron, and selenium than beef. Some studies show it's got four times the vitamin E compared to beef. Lower in calories and cholesterol. It is lower fat, so it will cook faster than ground beef. My friends at BB are offering a deal that they've never offered to anyone! I had to say "pretty please" a couple of times, and guess what? It worked!
