EPHI - Environment and Public Health Institute
Which party is best at promoting social democratic policies, and how much responsibility for one’s own health should be placed on the individual? Jan Emanuel answers these questions in this week’s episode.---“Health for the Unhealthy” highlights perspectives on public health that rarely come up in the debate, but that many people wonder about. Can you eat a bag of chips a day without gaining weight? Is it better to be physically active and overweight than to be sedentary and thin? Should I smoke e-cigarettes or use snus? Should I cut out meat and sugar—or neither? Experts come together to answer the questions they don’t usually get asked. And politicians try to figure out what they actually want to achieve—and how. “Health for the Unhealthy” is led by Dr. Vincent Amble-Naess and EPHI’s communications director, Nicolina Söderqvist. ---The Environment and Public Health Institute (EPHI) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank and forum that addresses the environmental and health challenges of our time.
