Ask any dietician or nutritionist and they will tell you that everything in moderation is okay.  Dr. Martin has always disagreed with the statement.

A recent study is saying that two or more servings of orange juice makes you 2.5x more susceptible to getti...

There is a silent epidemic going on with acid reflux. Apparently 2 billion people on our planet suffer from acid reflux, and they don't even know it!

Because the symptoms aren't the usual ones, people aren't being diagnosed properly and are ending up with cancer. So...

It has recently been discovered that when you have insulin resistance, it causes your body to create antibodies.

Insulin is a food hormone. Every time you eat, you need insulin. Its primary job is to take sugar out of your bloodstream. But the key is how much insulin you need. If you use too much, you can develop insulin resistance. Dr. Martin looks at three new studies on insulin resistance. Researchers have discovered that apart from food, you can develop insulin resistance. A stressful environment, for ex...

Oxford University has come out with a study that's saying seed oils really contribute to cognitive decline. Dr. Martin has been saying this for years, to avoid bad oils, and here's more reason. There are two things that will especially destroy your body. Sugar and bad oils. Every dentist in the world knows that sugar causes cavities. We're told to brush regularly so that our teeth don't rot. But w...

The Center for Disease Control in the United States is reporting some terrifying statistics for 2023. It's being reported that for every 36 births, one child will have autism.
