Aired on Monday, January 18th.
On this edition of ST Medical Monday, we re looking at the connections between diet, weight control, and health. Our guest is Gary Taubes, the investigative science and health journalist who co-founded the non-profit Nutrition Science Initiative, and whose bestselling previous books include Why We Get Fat and The Case Against Sugar. He joins us to discuss his latest book, The Case for Keto. As was noted by this work by Lewis Cantley, director of the Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medicine and New York Presbyterian Hospital: Taubes vigorously challenges the conventional view that low-fat, plant-based diets are healthy and that eating fats is risky, providing an historical context of the effectiveness of keto diets that goes back more than 150 years.

COVID-19 has had an indirect toll on heart health around the world, as cardiovascular testing volumes plummeted and cardiovascular deaths rose in 2020, researchers found.
CDC data revealed that in the first U.S. coronavirus epicenters like New York, the number of people who died from ischemic heart disease and hypertension increased dramatically after mid-March compared with historical controls from the year before.
It remains unclear whether the excess deaths were related to people avoiding necessary medical care for fear of contracting SARS-CoV-2 or reflected other factors, such as undiagnosed COVID-19, according to study authors led by Rishi Wadhera, MD, MPP, MPhil, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School in Boston, reporting in the
