Goodbye Red Dye #3

Tuesday, January 21 -  Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug recounts his weekend spent with his adult children in Los Angeles and questions the effects the air quality will have on the health of the community. Then, the conversation shifts to the banning of Red Dye #3, a neurological study shows eating greater amounts of red meat (especially processed meats) increases a greater risk of cognitive decline and dementia, and a new warning from the FDA requesting that nicotine levels in cigarettes be lowered to a nonaddictive level. Doug and Dr. Ken also discuss the FDA wanting a new package food label system putting nutrition information on the front of products instead of the back, and the best time of day to consume coffee for health benefits (it’s in the morning anytime between 4 AM - 11:59 AM) — all day coffee drinkers had no added benefit, as did non-coffee drinkers. Lastly, how to prepare for Winter’s coldest blasts of air and the best ways to keep your body heat from escaping if you have to be out in it, what’s happening with private practices and how doctors are getting paid from insurance agencies.Website: GoodDayHealthShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks
