Culinary Medicine: Food Cons & Food Conversations: Recent Episodes
Dr. Terry Simpson
Over half of modern medicines come from food. Conversely, we still use food as medicine. But are either of those a good thing?
Dr. Simpson is not only a renown weight loss surgeon, but he's also a certified Culinary Medicine Specialist. That means he spends more time teaching patients to cook than he does operating on them.
Culinary Medicine separates out the legitimate science and medicine of food from those who would seek to practice medicine without a license. Where today's nutritional advice is the realm of hucksters, Dr. Simpson is taking it back to the realm of science.
Each episode will bust myths about food as he gives honest answers to questions like... can you really taste soil in wine? (No.) Are cranberries a treatment for urinary tract infections? (Maybe). Occasionally, Dr. Simpson will be joined by Food Network Stars like Simon Majumdar, or leaders in culinary medicine like John La Puma.

Look at wine labels and it might say that the wine was grown in Volcanic rock, or granite soil, or chalky fields. Sommeliers at any restaurant will describe the “earthy” tastes of wines, sometimes even describing the geology of the ground in which the wine is grown. Terroir is the entire environment in which wine is grown, not just soil. But the question, do we taste the soil - we don’t. Today’s guest is a professor emeritus of geology, who grows wine and will tell you the factors that make wine.

Culinary Medicine this week deals with Medical Marijuana and the studies that show other potential drugs which can come from this plant. We also discuss the two FDA approved drugs that came from it. Hemp seeds, which are really a nut- are nutritious also, and we import 90% from China. Even though we could easily grow this crop here. We need to reclassify marijuana out of the DEA scheduling one and make it easier for research scientists to study this drug. More details at http://www.yourdoctorsorders.com/2018/08/free-the-weed/
