This is Health for the Unhealthy

On December 27, the new podcast Health for the Unhealthy will premiere with David Eberhard as host. The series highlights perspectives on public health that rarely come up in the debate, but that many people think about. Can you eat a bag of chips a day without getting fat? And if so, is it dangerous? Is it better to be active and overweight than to sit still and be thin? Should I smoke e-cigarettes or snuff? Give up meat or sugar or neither? Experts come together to answer questions they don't usually get asked.
