Dr. Friedman, I’m really enjoying your book. Seems like you are not a fan of soy. What about organic soy milk powder?
-Paula, Wilmington NC
Dear Dr. Friedman, I am a new listener and have been binge listening to all your previous shows. My question is, with all the recent lawsuits on Monstanto’s Round up causing cancer, what can I do to make sure my family isn’t consuming it?
-Shelly, Smyrna GA
I’m 55 years old and was hoping you could suggest something natural I can take to help with my hormones. I’m sick of the hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and feeling like crap all the time. I don’t want to take a prescription.
-Ann, Ft. Worth TX
Dr. Friedman, I love your show and always learn so much. I just got a gym membership for my wife and I. But she doesn’t want to go because she’s worried she’ll end up grotesque and muscular like a professional female body builder. Can you please set the record straight?
-Mike, Dayton OH
What’s the difference between yellow bananas and red bananas. Also, I’ve heard that if a banana has brown spots on it, this means it’s been chemically ripened. Any truth to this?
-Leslie, Los Angeles CA
Dr. Friedman, I’m a long time listener and love your show. Lately I’ve been getting brain fog. I forget things and seem to be living in a cloud. Is there anything I can eat that might help?
-Nicole, Montana
Dr. Friedman, your book Food Sanity has helped clear up most of the confusion on what we should be eating. What’s your opinion on coffee? Some say it’s bad for us while others say it’s healthy. What’s your take on coffee?
-Richard, Lexington KY
I’ve eaten oatmeal all my life but I’ve heard recently that oats are bad for me. What gives?
-Jennifer, Joliet IL
I have osteoarthritis and I don’t want to be on anti-inflammatory drugs or steroids. Is there a natural remedy for arthritis that works?
