The Cheese Trap
A must listen to interview! Here are a few bullet points for a sneak-peek:
Why is cheese bad?
1. It’s addictive.
2. It’s adding pounds to our waistlines.
3. It’s contributing to our diabetes epidemic, which will affect one in three children if our dietary patterns remain stagnant.
4. It’s draining our economy, but earns government subsidies.
5. Its nutrients come from supplements, which we could easily consume without the added calories, cholesterol, and fat.
The average American today consumes 30 pounds more cheese, per year, than we did 100 years ago.
In 1909, the average American consumed 3.8 pounds of cheese each year.
In 2013, the average American consumed 33.4 pounds of cheese each year—a tenfold increase over a 104-year period.
Listen... then get the book! The recipes included are amazing!
Dr. Neal Barnard, joined us to discuss his facinating new findings on our love affair with cheese, and why it may not be so loving after all.
Cheese—a beige, high-fat, high-cholesterol, and high-sodium topping—is nearly everywhere, from K-12 school lunch rooms to elegant dinner parties. It even has its own aisle at the grocery store. Could steering clear from this product, one that’s a linchpin in the standard American diet, be the catalyst to weight loss, optimal health, and disease prevention? One doctor says so.
Neal Barnard, M.D., F.A.C.C., has published more than 70 clinical research studies and dietary reviews. He’s influenced our nation’s dietary guidelines, in a good way, and it’s his research that fueled Beyoncé’s foray into plant-based nutrition—along with many others, including Oprah.
He is filming his fourth PBS special about diet and health, teaches nutrition and preventive medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, and in his 17th book, following two New York Times bestsellers, he has a message about cheese: We shouldn’t eat it.

The Raven God
Alane Adams, author of
The Raven God.
Perfect for fans of Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, the Legends of Orkney series received multiple awards and critical acclaim from Kirkus, School Library Journal, Foreword Reviews and more since the release of the first installment, The Red Sun, in August 2015. Kalifus Rising, book two in the series, released in 2016.
When her 12-year-old son challenged her to write a book that he would actually want to read, author ALANE ADAMS knew she had her work cut out for her. Flash forward to the present day, and that challenge has manifested itself in Adams's award-winning LEGENDS OF ORKNEY trilogy, concluding this fall with THE RAVEN GOD.
