I recently read an article on Gakwer called The "Food Babe" Blogger Is Full of Shit. It was written by today's podcast guest: Yvette d'Entremont.

Yvette, AKA "The Science Babe", has bachelor's degrees in theatre and chemistry along with a master's degree in forensic science. With a background working as an analytical chemist, she currently runs the Science Babe website full time. Her site is an interesting mix of debunking pseudoscience with humor and science. She lives in southern California with her stinky dog, Buddy (who makes a fun cameo in today's podcast). 

During our controversial discussion, you'll discover: -Why Yvette thinks that chiropractic treatment is total BS...-Why Yvette, in her post on the "Bullshitproof Diet", calls Dave Asprey a Douchebag...-How Yvette thinks that the Food Babe's Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte was blown way out of proportion...-What Yvette thinks is the next most unproven, hyped up, dangerous or scientifically inaccurate trend or fad currently making it's way down the health pipeline...-Why living by the rule "If a third grader can't pronounce it, don't eat it" is a dangerous rule to follow...-The details behind the group on Facebook called "Banned By Food Babe" that boasts nearly 6,000 members...-And much more...

Resources we discuss during this episode: -The Gawker article The "Food Babe" Blogger Is Full of Shit-Public Library of Science (PLOS)-Science Based Medicine-TheNess Neurological Blog-The "Natural Ingredients" In A Blueberry-My article on Bulletproof Coffee Enemas
