Dr. Joel Wallach begins the show discussing the fact that the U.S. is number one in obesity rates. Stating this is true because people followed the advice of their doctors advice. Contending that obesity in not caused by lack of exercise and eating too much. Asserting that weight gain and obesity are due to nutritional deficiencies.

Pearls of Wisdom

Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a news article about a Canadian study that found people discharged from the hospital around Christmas have and increased risk of death. It isn't definitive researchers believe it could be due to reduced staffing and lack of follow up. Patients released around the holdays also had an increased risk of re-admission. Previous studies have found a "weekend effect". An increased risk of death or return visits if patients are admitted on Friday or over a weekend. For much of the same reasons lower staffing, less experienced staff and delays in testing.
