Description

This week, Dr. Kahn dives into new research linking plant-based diets to both a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and improved control in type 1 diabetes. (Fun fact: even eating one juicy mango a day can help with blood sugar control!)

He also tackles the recent Consumer Reports headlines about lead in protein powders, explaining why the use of California’s Prop 65 limits may have exaggerated the concern compared to what most health experts believe. 

Finally, Dr. Kahn reviews new data on Lipoprotein(a) and heart health—including one fascinating study that connects risk levels to waist size.
