Summary: This is the audio version of the LIVE Show as found on youtube.com/healthcaretriage. Master question list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dk-KPVNfkzC1R4YDDF69Fn1Z4KcPxTl5Whis_VtNnDU Are red meats really more unhealthy than other meats? Why or why not? Are there studies that show negative effects of makeup on the skin eg. irritation, cancer etc.? Why does a broken bone still hurt even after it's set and immobilized? At what age should you worry about a baby/child's spine curvature(scoliosis) ? Does it correct itself from infant to toddler or toddler to adolescent? Are moderately or heavily processed vegetables (tomato juice or Harvest Snaps branded Snapea Crisps) an adequate source of daily vegetable intake or should they not be considered a (real) vegetable? Is there any evidence that different types of headphones/earbuds are better or worse for long-term hearing damage, or is volume the primary issue? What are some of the pro and cons of teaching toddlers sign language. my son is 27 months and still refuses to talk, only signs. Is it safe to eat slightly charred food? (I don't mean completely burned black, that's just unpalatable...) I've heard it could cause cancer. What percentage of women use birth control for noncontraceptive, medical reasons? I, personally, don't know anyone on the pill for contraception, so the debate about coverage of these medications really bothers me. Some of us actually do require these drugs to deal with medical issues. I eat significantly more than the daily recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables, but none is organic. Are there downsides to eating this many pesticides every day? What do studies show? I'm 28 and supper picky, No Italian and no seafood right off the bat and even beyond that I'm really picky about seasoning and like very few vegetables. How can the picky keep a balanced diet? Does vitamin D help with healing broken bones? I've read that OTC cough drops are only as effective as placebos (namely, hard candy). Is there any truth to that? Are there any health risks related to consuming moderate levels of diet soft drink beverages. I know aspartame doesn't have long term effects on health but what about other ingredients in diet sodas. I'm training for a triathlon but when I spend any useful amount of time on an exercise bike my penis falls asleep. Am I at risk of reduced sperm count/erectile dysfunction/anything falling off? A bunch of people I know (myself included) developed shingles in our 20s. Should those young people be concerned of their risk for shingles reoccurring moreso than older people who develop it? Could you say something about the importance of blood donations? I am doing a double red-cell donation today to the Red Cross. You said in your nutrition recommendation video that no guidelines are supported by RCTs. Why are RCT's difficult to do in nutrition? What do you think about the new American Psychological Association study saying video games cause violence in real life and do you think they cause violence? Thanks. Why do stomachs growl and should I go eat? I really like eating whole lemons. Is this bad to do 1-3 times a week if I brush my teeth immediately afterwards? Does it do bad things to parts of my body other than my teeth?
