From Johns Hopkins medical expert Dr. Marty Makary, the New York Times-bestselling author of The Price We Pay-an eye-opening look at the medical groupthink that has led to public harm, and what you need to know about your health. More Americans have peanut allergies today than at any point in history. Why? In 2000, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a strict recommendation that parents avoid giving their children peanut products until they're three years old. Getting the science perfectly backward, triggering intolerance with lack of early exposure, the US now leads the world in peanut allergies-and this misinformation is still rearing its head today. How could the experts have gotten it so wrong? Dr. Marty Makary asks, Could it be that many modern-day health crises have been caused by the hubris of the medical establishment? Experts said for decades that opioids were not addictive, igniting the opioid crisis. They refused menopausal women hormone replacement therapy, causing unnecessary suffering. They demonized natural fat in foods, driving Americans to processed carbohydrates as obesity rates soared. They told citizens that there are no downsides to antibiotics and prescribed them liberally, causing a drug-resistant bacteria crisis. When modern medicine issues recommendations based on good scientific studies, it shines. Conversely, when modern medicine is interpreted through the harsh lens of opinion and edict, it can mold beliefs that harm patients and stunt research for decades. In Blind Spots, Dr. Makary explores the latest research on critical topics ranging from the microbiome to childbirth to nutrition and longevity and more, revealing the biggest blind spots of modern medicine and tackling the most urgent yet unsung issues in our $4.5 trillion health care ecosystem. The path to medical mishaps can be absurd, entertaining, and jaw-dropping-but the truth is essential to our health.

John Kanell is beloved for his aspirational lifestyle and food recipes that feed the eye first. As his kids get older and life gets busier, John recognizes the need that all busy families have for food that is at once practical to prepare and delicious. < Preppy Kitchen Super Easy was born of that need. He's created a cookbook of simple dishes that feel special. With particular attention to variations for nearly every recipe, John makes it easy to prepare any dish at any time. Ran out of mayo? Use sour cream in the Ranch and Feta Dip. Need to use up those tomatoes and peppers before they go to waste? Swap 'em for the cukes in the Wild Rice Salad. In each recipe, John breaks down instructions with simple steps, streamlines ingredient lists, and gives dozens of ideas for riffs and make-aheads. John explains how easy it is to vary vessels with a single recipe: a quick bread or cake can bake in a muffin tin, a baking dish, or a cake pan; pancake batter is good for a waffle maker or a griddle. He leans into a small cache of hands-off appliances such as the Instant PotT and air fryer. And, best of all, he's developed recipes you can make once and eat all week, along with dressings and spreads that morph from snack-time dip to salad accompaniment to just-add-a-protein main dish. Recipes include: -Breakfast: Breakfast in a Cup, Breakfast Burritos, "Ice Cream" Overnight Oats-Main dishes with hands-off cook time: Skillet Steak with Garlic-Herb Butter, Cream Cheese and Caraway-Stuffed Salmon, and Crispy Orange-Glazed Chicken Strips-Easy sides to elevate the simplest of main dishes: Browned Butter and Garlic Mashed Potatoes-Favorite snacks and small bites for grazing throughout the day: Bruschetta Dip, Grape and Tarragon Chicken Salad, Mango and Radish Shrimp Ceviche-Quick and easy delicious desserts: Brian's Favorite Chocolate Cake, Slice and Bake Shortbread Cookies, and Chocolate Chunk Pecan Pie Bars

 Nutrition researcher and New York Times bestselling author Neal Barnard, MD, introduces a plan that traps, tames, and burns calories for easy and permanent weight loss in his new book, The Power Foods Diet. Dr. Barnard shows that certain foods actually cause weight loss, like a weight-loss medication without a prescription. The plan focuses on everyday ingredients, such as blueberries, cinnamon, and citrus fruits. These and other powerful foods are built into more than 120 mouthwatering recipes by master recipe developers Dustin Harder and Lindsay S. Nixon. “Weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic, which come with side effects and a prohibitive price tag, have received an extraordinary amount of media attention,” says Dr. Barnard. “In reality, the best solution for reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is a low-fat plant-based diet that excludes animal products. It’s effective, inexpensive, and side-effect free!”Obesity and overweight are among today’s top health concerns.

It turns out, when properly chosen, certain foods cause weight loss, with no need for the deprivation and planning that most weight-loss regimens require.THE POWER FOODS DIET reveals three weight-loss breakthroughs supported by research that:Reduce the appetiteTrap calories so they are flushed away and cannot be absorbedIncrease the body’s ability to burn calories for hours after each meal

Melted butter on hot toast and served up on a plate.It seems like nothing, really, could be clearer or more straight.But though, in terms of things required, the number is just two,there is a lot of wiggle room for what there is to do. Cook and author Tara Wigley had been to cookery school, read hundreds of cookbooks and developed recipes for over a decade. Yet she found the fewer the ingredients in a recipe, the more confusion there was about how best to make it. The result is HOW TO BUTTER TOAST, a collection of rhymes that will enlighten and entertain, reassure and ultimately liberate the culinarily confused. The rhymes provide reassuring - and memorable - answers to the culinary conundrums we often face: How long should I boil an egg? What's the best way to crush garlic? How do I make mayonnaise, a martini or indeed the perfect cup of tea? Tara's playful take on these food quandaries seems effortless but belies her knowledgeable and carefully researched approach to cooking. Beautifully packaged with bold and witty illustrations throughout, HOW TO BUTTER TOAST is the perfect gift for cooks of all levels.

Every living thing must solve an equation. How much nitrogen to eat, how much sodium, how much phosphorus, etc. The body solves that equation by taste and flavor -- by making living things crave what they need. Our appetites are linked to nutritional requirements. Taste: The Flavor of Life, a new docuseries on Curiosity Stream, explores the world of taste and how deliciousness unites us with the rest of animals in surprising ways.For example -- Organisms need salt for their cells to function properly. If a food has salt, the taste receptor sends a signal to the brain, creating pleasure. The umami taste receptor rewards animals for finding nitrogen, an element that’s essential for building proteins and genes. Sweet taste receptors encourage animals to find foods with enough sugar to fuel their daily activity. Taste: The Flavor of Life traces the impact of taste from animals’ first steps on land to top Michelin star restaurants!Taste: The Flavor of Life comes from biologist Rob Dunn and is inspired by his book Delicious – The Evolution of Flavor and How It Made Us Human (co-written by Monica Sanchez). A Professor at NC State University, Rob leads the Public Science Lab, a group of scholars from diverse disciplines who work to make new discoveries about daily life. His research has been awarded more than ten million dollars in grants from more than twelve different sources for work in 20 different countries. An avid writer, Rob has published many articles in National Geographic, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal among many others, as well as seven books including The Wild Life of Our Bodies and A Natural History of the Future.

It wasn’t long before Debbie Wilson-Berment discovered that the kitchen was where she wanted to be. As a young girl growing up in Trinidad and Tobago, she would often help her mother, Alma, an accomplished and award-winning chef, prepare family meals, as well as dishes for her mother’s catering clients. By the time she was 16, Wilson-Berment, who is known professionally as Chef Sagajo, had clients of her own and a steady stream of requests for the beautiful special occasion cakes she made.  You’ll find more than just sweet treats (but you can find those, too) in Chef Sagajo’s first cookbook, THE SAGAJO EXPERIENCE: Recipes for Lifestyle & Entertaining (Virago Global Publishing, February 14, 2024). She goes beyond a cookbook, showing you how to create moments, not just meals—a feeling she learned from her mother and continued with her family. You will find page after page of easy-to-follow, yet elegant, recipes, but she extends her culinary canvas beyond the plate. She offers suggestions about other ingredients that make meals memorable, such as the settings you choose, the stemware you use, the flowers you display, the styles (formal or informal) you create, the wines you select and, most importantly, the people you choose to gather around the table. She provides an amazing smorgasbord of delicious menu ideas (with accompanying recipes) for some of life’s more common gatherings, such as family dinner, lunch (or tapas) with friends, breakfast in bed and those special occasions when you pull out all the stops with a menu that includes beef brisket, whole roasted red snapper, roasted duck, spatchcock chicken and Chilean sea bass. You can also find tips on food and wine pairings and a helpful “In My Pantry” guide, which lists all the ingredients that you will need.  Her recipes and tips for entertaining are easy to follow whether you are a seasoned chef or an aspiring cook. Beautiful, eye-catching photos throughout the book bring the meals to life, as well as the family and friends who gather around her table, including her husband, grandchildren and three children, Sasha, Gabrielle and Jonathan. (Her children are the inspiration behind her professional name and brand. Sagajo--pronounced sah-ga-joe—is an acronym from the first two initials of each of her children’s names.) Since that early start in her mother’s kitchen, Chef Sagajo has gone on to a successful career as a private chef, a pastry chef, a culinary educator and now, an author. Her dishes reflect the rich Caribbean flavors of her early roots along with the cooking traditions she learned while training at top culinary programs in the United States. She calls her style Caribbean meets Mediterranean. She hopes her recipes will inspire others to gather, entertain with joy and adopt an approach to life that has long guided her personal and professional path: “Life is meant to taste and celebrate.”

For the first time ever, agave spirits (made from Mexico’s agave plant such as tequila and mezcal) will outsell vodka in U.S. bars this year, becoming the #1 selling liquor category. And sales for Mezcal in particular, (often referred to as tequila’s smokier cousin) have soared, making it the fastest-growing spirit in North America. According to a new research report about the skyrocketing growth of mezcal, part of its popularity is due to consumers’ fascination with Mexican cuisine and culture. Others note that more and more people are developing an appreciation for premium artisanal spirits and are drawn to mezcal’s unique flavor profile. Whatever the reason, the hottest bars and restaurants across the country now feature mezcal cocktails on their menus. Previously viewed as an up-and-coming spirit, mezcal has gone mainstream and 2024 is poised to be its biggest year yet.

When it comes to successful, enjoyable home cooking, starting with the right kitchen equipment is every bit as important as following a good recipe. Think about all the ways that your equipment can make or break your experience in the kitchen. A skillet that heats unevenly might leave you with nothing to show for your efforts but a scorched mess. An ice cream maker that turns out soupy frozen desserts might have you swearing off home-made ice cream forever. On the other hand, tools that work as they’re intended make your life easier and your time in the kitchen more rewarding. A sharp vegetable peeler breezes through tough squash skin; a good coffee maker extracts the perfect balance of flavors from coffee beans; an absorbent dish towel makes cleaning up after yourself just that much less tedious.

ATK’s kitchen equipment experts Lisa McManus and Hannah Crowley, (hosts of ATK’s popular Gear Heads YouTube show), share everything they’ve learned during their decades of hands-on equipment testing, from buying dos and don’ts to maintenance and cleaning tips to stories from their own experiences.

Board-certified preventive medicine physician, Emmy® Award-winning producer, and self-described “wellness crusader,” Michael Crupain, MD, MPH, brings us an essential cookbook, with 75+ recipes that focus on the five food groups to keep you living longer—without sacrificing flavor or favorites. The Power Five: Essential Foods for Optimum Health is In many ways, the culmination of a life dedicated to medicine and cooking. First in medical school, he staged at David Bouley's Austrian restaurant, The Danube; with pastry chef Walter Luque from Palma; and spent transformative time cooking with Silvestro Silvestori at The Awaiting Table Cookery School in Puglia, Italy. As a result, Dr. Crupain presents a book grounded in food expertise and medical knowledge. In The Power Five, he puts the five essential foods for living longer—fruits and vegetables, beans, whole grains, seafood, and nuts and seeds—to work in 75 recipes that maximize taste, texture, and flavor, championing the idea that eating and living healthier no longer feels like work. Each chapter delves into the science and nutritional information in a playful, at times humorous way, making it easy to digest why each of these foods is essential and powerful.

But you don’t have to give up beloved treats to live to a long life. Dr. Crupain includes chapters on meats and sweets, and guidance on how to eat them—but less often—underpinning Michael’s belief in balance and practicality.

What is it about the garden that suits it to literary murder? Perhaps it is the poisonous plants, sharp tools, shady corners, and ready-made burial sites that make gardens a mainstay in the mystery genre. Perhaps it is the gardeners (and writers) themselves, with their “natural malice toward weeds, rodents, and other garden undesirables. Rare is the gardener who can approach a slug without homicidal intent.” No matter the motive, gardening and writing are enduringly linked. In her new book, New York Times Best-Selling author Marta McDowell explores this deeply rooted connection between gardens, writers, and mystery novels in Gardening Can Be Murder: How Poisonous Poppies, Sinister Shovels, And Grim Gardens Have Inspired Mystery Writers

You'll never look at a restaurant meal the same way again. As you've probably noticed, much recent food- and restaurant related media has focused on previously unheralded, unsung kitchen and farm workers, and on related issues such as immigration, operating expenses, and sustainable sourcing. Perhaps you've covered some of these topics yourself. In THE DISH, author Andrew Friedman-who's been reporting and broadcasting about chefs and kitchen culture for nearly 25 years-stitches together all these threads by profiling the key restaurant and farm employees whose lives and work culminate in a single dish at an independent Chicago restaurant. Told in real time during a dinner service, the book tracks one dish (a deceptively simple composition of aged strip loin, tomato, and sorrel) at Wherewithall restaurant from the moment it's ordered by the guests at a table to when it's completed and presented to them. During the intervening hour, as elements of the dish are prepared, cooked, and brought together on the plate, we meet the people who made the dish possible. Friedman, who refers to himself a "chef writer" rather than a "food writer" recognizes the shift in industry and media culture the book represents: "Like many authors and journalists, for years I almost exclusively profiled chefs," he says. "It's long past time that we also recognize and celebrate the others-in and out of restaurants-who make crucial contributions every day."

In The Blue Zones Secrets for Living Longer, Buettner returns to Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; Okinawa, Japan; Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula; and Loma Linda, California to check in on the super-agers living in the blue zones and interprets the not-so-secret sauce of purpose, faith, community, down-time, natural movement, and plant-based eating that has powered as many as 10 additional years of healthy living in these regions. And Buettner reveals an all-new blue zone-the first man-made blue zone yet explored. Throughout his two decades of research, Buettner has worked with some of National Geographic's top photographers-including David McLain and Gianluca Cola-to document the healthy habits of the world's long

In "Eat Everything," readers can discover the secret Dr. Sherling stumbled upon while on vacation in Italy as the key to conquering her own irritable bowel syndrome symptoms in this straightforward guide to eating just about everything (yes, even bread, pasta, and ice cream!) without pain, worry, or guilt. Offering a better alternative to complicated, minimally effective, and highly restrictive diets, Dr. Sherling lays out compelling new evidence implicating food additives as the real culprits behind diet-related diseases and shares simple, actionable advice to heal. In this refreshing and accessible guide, readers will learn how to lose weight without a restrictive diet, how to navigate eating at restaurants-for any meal or occasion, tips for filling our grocery bags with REAL food, and how to embrace healthful cooking at home, with 25 delicious recipes. "We're constantly told to fear carbs, gluten, and dairy, and we turn to strict diets to solve our health problems," says Sherling. "Yet Americans still have one of the highest rates of obesity and diabetes in the world, and millions suffer from digestive ailments like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)." A graduate of the Yale University School of Medicine, former Instructor in Medicine at Harvard University, and board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and dedicated to combating the digestive illness epidemic in America and around the world, Dr. Sherling unpacks the science behind why emulsifiers and additives in the typical American diet are responsible for many digestive illnesses and diseases, and walks readers through simple, easy ways to reclaim their health without a restrictive diet. Digging into emerging research, Dr. Sherling realized it's not the foods but the food additives, especially emulsifiers, that are at the root of our problems - additives that our bodies can't digest that are everywhere in the ultra-processed foods that make up about half of our daily diets. "A trip to Italy taught me what real food and feeling good about food can look like," says Sherling. "It isn't mysterious or difficult; it just takes a reframing of how we choose to eat. I hope that the millions of people that are suffering with diet-related diseases can find the relief I did and stop blaming themselves for their ailments. We have a lot of healing to do and we can do it one bite at a time."

Although metabolism is still not fully understood, its implications for how we gain and lose weight and its impact on our overall health have never been more important in our need to prevent and identify causes for various conditions. In fact:-The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciencesc urrently recognizes more than 500 metabolic disorders.-A 2019 seminal study on metabolic health published by researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found that only 12 percent (one out of eight) of US adults have optimal metabolic health. But where there's a challenge, there's also tremendous opportunity. In response, a science based "Met Flex" (short for Metabolic flexibility) program from #1 New York Times bestselling author and Harvard alum Dr.Ian Smith is publishing on April 4, 2023 from HarperCollins/Harvest. Dr. Ian says, "After very quickly learning the definition and physiologic underpinning of this term, I thought about those carb statements I'd been hearing for years but never fully understood. Metabolic flexibility addresses the body's ability (or inability) to switch from burning carbs to burning fats and vice versa. I had one of those eureka moments as the last twist of the bulb finally turned on the light in my brain. What all of these people (and I'm sure millions of others) have been feeling and describing is a state of metabolic inflexibility....with this six-week program, you become your own mechanic." Dr. Ian shares how what we have largely believed to be indisputable facts about metabolism have been refuted in the Journal of Science ("Daily Energy Expenditure through the Human Life Course";August 2021). The major findings include that the belief that all of our metabolisms start to slow down at 30 is not true. Rather we have FOUR life stages of metabolism that highlight:-people between ages 20-60 generally have stable metabolisms-there aren't really any differences between men/women when you control for size/muscle.

Thank you for being part of the conversation. This is Play It Forward. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward Episode 569 With Steven Raichlen Creator Of The Barbecue Bible. Steven Raichlen is synonymous with barbecue. The James Beard Award-winning author of an impressive array of New York Times bestselling cookbooks, a Barbecue Hall of Famer, indefatigable barbecue anthropologist and a PBS star, he has shaped America’s obsession with live-fire cooking for decades. It started in 1998, when Workman published Raichlen’s groundbreaking THE BARBECUE! BIBLE, which fired a grilling revolution around the world, transforming the arts of smoking and grilling to the cult status it enjoys today. When this 500-recipe homage to global live-fire cooking was first published, American grilling was limited to simple summer weekend cookouts with little technique or creative thought. And now, it’s hard to believe that there was ever a time when grilling and barbecue weren’t ubiquitous American obsessions.

On average, only nine to twelve percent of people keep their New Year’s Resolutions. When it comes to weight loss in particular, many people get discouraged when the number on the scale doesn’t drop as quickly as they’d like – but a plateau is often a normal part of any weight loss journey. Dr. Chris Mohr, registered dietitian and ambassador for Nutrisystem -- the leading provider of health and wellness and weight loss solutions – can offer a number of tips to overcome these hurdles. Among them:• Get Enough Shut-Eye -- Lack of sleep can disrupt weight loss. If you’re having trouble getting some shut-eye, try sticking to a regular sleep schedule and limiting your caffeine consumption and screen-time in the hours before bed.• Don’t Skimp on Protein & Fiber -- Protein helps to preserve lean muscle mass while losing weight to help maintain metabolic rate. Also, protein and fiber are strongly related to satiety, which keep you feeling full longer.• Keep a Diet Journal – Track your food intake including all eating occasions (even nibbling), portion sizes and ingredients. This way, if you notice the scale is stuck, you can look back at your journal and see where you may be overdoing it. Nutrisystem’s NuMi app is one way to organize your meal plan throughout your weight loss journey.• Overeating – sounds obvious, but remember that weight loss is dependent on “calories in” being lower than “calories out.” Meal delivery programs like Nutrisystem can help eliminate guesswork by providing the right balance of nutrients at every meal.
