60,000 miles long. That’s the length of the tube system inside us that transports blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the cells in our body.If these tubes fail, the result can be fatal. In some cases, it’s a heart attack.

2022/09/15

Our planet is overheating. Human society is creating too much carbon dioxide, stopping the sun’s warmth from escaping back into space.

Floods, droughts, and wildfires are already becoming much more common.Some effects of climate change are now irreversible, but there is still hope, and adjusting what we eat might play a bigger part than you’d imagine.In this episode, Jonathan speaks with a

Kanchan Koya grew up in a house filled with wonderful fragrances from the spices simmering on her grandmother’s stove. In India, it was a common belief that spices were more than just pleasant tastes. Ancient wisdom said they had medicinal properties, and it was common for household medicine cabinets to store dried spices, not pills.Kanchan grew up to become a molecular biologist, studying in the US at Harvard Medical School. When her lab began to investigate turmeric’s healing properties, the

How food can improve your mood

ZOE Science & Nutrition ·

2022/08/04

We’ve all felt the effects of food on our mood, so it would stand to reason that dietary intervention for mental health would be well studied and a regularly deployed treatment.But this is far from reality, as historically, psychiatry was only concerned with what happened from the neck up.In today’s episode, Jonathan is joined by Felice Jacka, Professor of Nutritional Psychiatry and Director of the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University.

A recent study claims that eating a hotdog reduces life expectancy by 38 minutes, and eating salmon could extend it by 70 minutes.

2022/07/07

Keto has been promoted as a magic bullet for weight loss by its supporters and slammed as dangerous by its opponents. It's no surprise - completely removing almost all carbohydrates is not what most people consider ‘a balanced diet’.With carbs off the table, Keto diets involve a dramatically increased fat intake. At the same time, drastically reducing carbs means starving our gut microbes of the fiber that feeds them.Nonetheless, doctors prescribe keto diets to treat people with severe diabetes and

It’s a biological process that we need to stay alive. Yet too much of it leads to disease and a shorter life.Inflammation is the immune system’s response to an outside event it thinks is dangerous. This stimulus could be an injury, like falling off your bike or an infection by a virus or bacteria. But inflammation can also be triggered by our food in the hours after we eat.But if this natural process is required to protect us from infections and injuries, why is inflammation usually cast in a

Can bread be healthy?

ZOE Science & Nutrition ·

2022/05/26

It’s no exaggeration to say that bread shaped modern humanity - it was the cultivation of wheat for flour that transformed our ancestors from hunter-gatherers to city dwellers.Today, millions of us start the day with a slice of toast, and most lunches in the US and UK are wrapped in a slice of bread or a burger bun as a cheap, flexible, and delicious energy source.But modern industrial processes designed to reduce the time and cost of baking mean today’s bread would be unrecognizable to our
