Yet, there are many people who refuse them for themselves and their children. There seems to be a growing mistrust of science in the US. On today’s Health Show, a science and global health writer talks to us about that mistrust...what he calls Denialism. Then we’ll hear from another writer who says a full plate can help you lose weight, and we’ll get another visit from the Diabetic Chef. 2010-02-04T15:59:59-05:00 http://healthshow.org/audio/1140/healthshow1140.mp3 As we’ve reported before, one of the earliest and noisiest sticking points in the health care debate surrounded end of life care. After sifting through the nonsense about death panels and Nazi camps one fact was evident: Americans get most of their health care at the end of life. On this week’s Health Show, we’ll wade into those waters. We’ll hear a report that suggests that perhaps our health care system goes overboard with treatment when comfort might be a better route to take. We’ll hear from the editors of a new book of essays on the end of life. And we’ll welcome a new commentator to the program with her take on the topic. 2010-01-28T11:26:58-05:00 http://healthshow.org/audio/1139/healthshow1139.mp3
