Episode 128 - January 23, 2016

What classic Canadian show did I get to be a part of this year?
Chef Tyler Shedden (Chase Hospitality Group, formerly of Cafe Boulud) gives us the lowdown on truffles (not the chocolate kind), including the  most expensive truffle sold, the difference between white and black and how people find these nuggets of gold in the ground.

Tim Caulfield (Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy, a Professor in the Faculty of Law and the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta and Research Director of the Health Law Institute at the University of Alberta) returns to the show to talk about all the things we're doing wrong when it comes to health and diet. What's the Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen diet and does it really work? And if you think celebrities don't influence your health and eating habits...wrong. 

Tim shares the scientifically proven ways to be healthier (you may not like them, but they work.)
