In Decoding Medical Research part 2 Doctors Koren and Labos venture further into the world of medical research with an eye-opening discussion salt, heart health and inflammation. Listen now to discover the hidden truths about sodium intake and its complex relationship with your health. With most of us consuming far more sodium than recommended, the episode promises to unravel the delicate balance needed in our diets. You’ll learn why some groups, like athletes or those with specific medical needs, might need more sodium and how government initiatives aim to swap sodium with potassium in processed foods to benefit heart health. This isn’t just another discussion on salt—it's a comprehensive exploration of how tailored medical advice can make all the difference.
You'll also get an intriguing comparison of the US and Canadian healthcare systems, inspired by insights from a newly released book. This episode is brimming with knowledge and practical advice, guaranteed to leave you with a clearer understanding of these pivotal health issues. Tune in and enrich your perspective by subscribing to our podcast or visiting MedEvidence.com.
Dr. Christopher Labos is a cardiologist with a master’s degree in Epidemiology. He is a columnist with the Montreal Gazette and Medscape, featured on the Sunday Morning House Call on CJAD radio, and has a regular TV segment with CTV Montreal and CBC Morning Live. He is an associate with the McGill Office of Science and Society and co-hosts the award-winning podcast “The Body of Evidence.” He is the author of “Does Coffee Cause Cancer?”, a story about food epidemiology and why food headlines are usually wrong. He is a course lecturer in the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health at McGill University and he occasionally practices as a cardiologist so he can buy groceries. To date no one has asked him for his autograph.
