Sugar

Interview with Dr. Kimber Stanhope

The Q&A!

Valentine’s day is here, and with it, mountains of sweets! Boxes of chocolates! Candy hearts that somehow still have phrases like “fax me!” There’s no limit to confectioneries for your cutie pie, but what does the research say about our sweet tooth’s connection to our overall health? This week on Health Wanted, we’re talking sugar, sugar.

Plus: Does measles vaccination protect against SSPE? Are these measles outbreaks caused by foreign or domestic strains? And the Sick of the Week

For a full rundown on all the information shared in today's episode, take a look at the show notes.
