Soft Drinks, Starvation, and the State of Your Brain

from The ProBoh Show · host Rob Grams

In the first part of today's show, we looked at a new study linking soft drink consumption to depression through its effects on the gut microbiome. Then we talked about another surprising study claiming that going seven days without food may offer a range of positive health benefits. Today's unpopular opinion was: Humanities and arts are just as important as science and engineering. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name a school subject that people often become bad at in adulthood. The ProBoh Show is an English-language variety show hosted by Rob Grams.
