Back in the 1800s, one of the most hotly contested “celebrity” feuds was between two French chemists: Louis Pasteur and Antoine Béchamp. Chances are, you’ve only heard of one of these scientists, which means that he ostensibly “won” the debate. This is true, but it does not tell the full story, or even come close.

Anemia is the result of the body receiving too little iron for too long. “If you’re low on iron, the body will protect red blood cell production first,” says Malcolm Munro, MD, FRCSC, FACOG, a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of California, Los Angeles. This can have serious consequences for the entire body. “Iron is responsible for [many] enzymatic processes in the body, including those in [the] brain, the repair of DNA, and making liver enzymes,” Munro explains.

Castor oil is enjoying a moment. On TikTok, more than 100 million videos feature it, with many extolling its virtues. Some promote its topical use for thicker eyelashes and softer skin, while a stunning number celebrate the traditional Ayurvedic practice of navel pulling: pouring castor oil in the belly button before bed to relieve menstrual cramps, improve digestion, or lose unwanted weight.

Two facts about fruit are indisputable:1) It is full of healthy phytonutrients, antioxidants, and fiber; and2) it contains glucose, fructose, and sucrose. But nature built in a safety check, and that’s fiber. The fiber in whole fruit buffers the impact of sugar on blood-glucose levels, says Robert Lustig, MD, MSL.

By some estimates, as many as one in five older Americans suffer from some form of anxiety disorder. These can range from specific phobias (my irrational fear of dentists, for instance, is known as dentophobia) to full-on panic attacks, and they may contribute to a variety of chronic illnesses. So, I was struck the other day by a couple of recent studies showing the effectiveness of nonpharmaceutical remedies to these disorders. They seemed to offer some hope for those wallowing in worry.

Many traditional foodways offer a helpful framework for upgrading your diet, and most give pride of place to vegetables and fruits — unlike the typical American diet. Of all traditional diets, the Mediterranean may be the best studied. “The Mediterranean diet is a great mood-supportive way of eating and living,” Lockhart says.
