Ep 5: Worried About Hormones in Beef? Soy, the China Study, Ornish's Angiograms, BPA and Vitamin A

Gram for gram, soy protein has at least a thousand times the estrogenic activity of hormone-treated beef. Dr Paul Mason and Alison work through your comments on the China Study and Denise Minger's reanalysis, Dean Ornish's 0.01 mm "reversal" of heart disease, eyeballed angiograms and stents, hormone growth promotants vs soy isoflavones, soy formula, lavender and tea tree oil, BPA on receipts and "BPA-free" plastics, feminised fish, polar bear vs beef liver, vitamin A and measles, oxalate dumping, and protein for hypoglycaemia. Plus two In the News segments: atrazine, and Novo's ZEUS trial on inflammation and heart disease.
