The Uncomfortable Truth About Why You Need To Stop Brushing Your Teeth, Drinking Green Tea & Meditating...And Start Using Nicotine, Caffeine, Alcohol & Marijuana.

from Boundless Life · host Ben Greenfield

Prepare to have your mind blown... Green tea is bad for you. You shouldn't brush your teeth very much. Vitamin Water has more carbs than beer. And you should start using nicotine, five or more than drinks per day, marijuana and copious amounts of coffee. These are all shocking claims made by the book "The Good News About What's Bad for You...The Bad News About What's Good for You." and written by today's podcast guest, Jeff Wilser. Jeff is a writer whose work has appeared in print or online at places like New York magazine, GQ, Esquire, Mental_Floss, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, and The Huffington Post. In addition to the book that we talk about in this podcast - The Good News About What's Bad for You...The Bad News About What's Good for You - Jeff has also written The ManCave book, The Maxims of Manhood, It's OK To Sleep With Him On The First Date, and more. During our discussion, you'll discover: -When green tea can be bad for you (and shocking news about Snapple)... -Which version of water has more calories than Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream... -The absolute worst time of day to brush your teeth (and what kale smoothies have to do with that)... -Why being happy all the time and meditating may not be all it's cracked up to be... -The surprising benefits of nicotine... -The part of the population that should absolutely drink alcohol... -Why limiting yourself to one cup of coffee a day may not be the best thing... -The beneficial ways that marijuana changes your brain... -What happened when Jeff went on a 30 day junk food diet... -And much more! Do you have questions, comments or feedback about good things that are bad for you, or anything else Jeff and I discuss in this podcast?
