LIVE - Feb. 17, 2016

Next week's LIVE show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0xr3Y0ENn4 https://www.reddit.com/r/HCTriage/ This week's questions: 2:42 - How much sun exposure warrants sunscreen? What about artificial lighting? I know some of that emits UV too? 3:51 - I sit a lot for long periods. After watching your video on how bad stagnation is, I've started to set a 30 minute timer to remind me to knock that off. Is static stretching and a little bit of walking around fine, or should I do something more engaging? 4:57 - Could you please tell my friend that MSG is not bad for her? 6:54 - My parents are terrified of electromagnetic "radiation" or "electrical pollution" but I'm not. What studies are actually out there? 10:12 - Does microwaving food cause it to lose nutrients? 11:33 Laser health therapy: medicine or quackery? 13:26 - How do we balance the skyrocketing national costs of end of life care with the need for societal compassion? 14:45 - What data exist on the use of SSRIs for a period of several years or more? Is it a bad idea, or OK to stay on them to prevent relapse? 16:56 - Is it that people who don't drink enough water get kidney stones and thus need to drink more, or is it that some people have a predisposition to getting kidney stones and need to drink more water to counter that? 18:46 - What do you think of chiropractors that claim they can "scientifically" prevent SIDS with their adjustments in newborns? 20:26 - Could eating a variety of herbs and spices on a regular basis lead to better health/nutrition, or are the studies on this topic overblown? 21:45 - What do you think about eating high fiber foods? Do you support a high-fiber diet? 22:52 - Is there any research out there about the effectiveness of Telemedicine? How do you feel about it? 24:10 - My recent roommate insists that her immune system is compromised and that she cannot shower before bed because if she sleeps will wet hair she will catch a cold. Please explain why this is SO wrong
