Uh Oh! Mrs. Pearlmania did her research on fortified foods and GMOs for this week's episode. Are we all about to get pipelined? Is Mr. P about to get listeria from Raw Milk? How did they get through this episode without mentioning RFK Jr. once?

Too Many Foods month continues it's slow march towards thanksgiving with this nuanced discussion about food health by two people with associates degrees from community colleges that did not offer nutrition classes.

The Pearlmans have a NEW Post Office Box: P.O. Box 72151, Thorndale, PA 19372.

Seasame street had a parody album called born to add from the late 80s/early 90s that was the only kids music besides Jerry Garcia's not for kids only I listened to as a kid

As a Taurus born in 1988, I feel both seen and sad. Thank you. 😂

Omg is Rickety come from Rickets? That’d be hilarious if true

Victor_Skylark

Can we get a Video version on patreon? I like watching Mr. P's face during the show but don't want to listen to ads

Pelicans are my favorite dinosaur

As a Taurus, I too was balking at baked potato soup and I love soup! Baked potato soup? Low on my rankings. I've been into fitness/weight lifting for 34 years. I stopped following 95% of social media fitness influencers in 2 phases: the election of Trump 1.0 and pandemic time. That world is right-wing, horror monkey land. Rickets make you rickety. Is that where they got the name? I could look it up but nah

Pelicans are my favorite dinosaur

Same. "Addy" was the one that my next door neighbor in 1985 had. It was on the attack all the time...until my cats approached, then Addy turned tail. All hail cats!

Speaking of highly nuanced possible unethical experiments in food science that led to medical breakthroughs, check out The Minnesota Starvation Experiment from 1944

Listen_up_poop_butt! You_are_a_cutie_patootie!

I would absolutely love! LOVE LOVE LOVE! A vlog style video of Alex making the deviled eggs. 🤌🤌 Signed..a fellow Taurus who loves a deviled egg & mashed potatoes

UvaMay

Greatly appreciate it it's like entering the 9 layers of retail hell

My Yorkie literally woke up and just stared at me like 👁️👄👁️ when you started talking about your hatred for Yorkies. Tell him you're sorry :(

Kristen Cocciante

As a cancer, obviously cancers want baked potato soup (cuz now I’m craving baked potato soup)

Pearlmania500

It’s not a hatred. It’s a fear, and I’m working on it and I’m sorry. - Mr P

ItchyN1pples

As a Scorpio I’m not particular on my spud preferences, it’s all taters precious.

Rebekah Shim

Sadly, you are so right about people born in ‘88. (Primary source: me!) One of my favorite songs from Sum 41 is “88” from their Chuck album, named that because it’s 88 bpm, released in 2004, but now some people think it’s sus. (Neurodivergent Tangent: Their album is named Chuck after the Canadian peacekeeper who saved them from terrorists in the Congo when they were filming a documentary on the conflict there to raise awareness.)

Kristen Cocciante

Yo I had rly bad acid reflux for like 3 years, turns out I had h pylori, they gave me antibiotics and now I’m fine 🙃 highly recommend asking to test for h pylori

Lorelana

Oh boy, if they look into this and Dr. Ancel Keys, I am a librarian at an institution that has some of this information.

Sierra

It makes me so happy to see you guys follow Hydroxied on tt as well I’m a fellow food scientist and her videos are the best feed cleanse. I get HEATED the amount of misinformation there is 😂

Nikki Ann

Deviled eggs are the only reason I go to the family Thanksgiving. My birthday is on Thanksgiving this year. And I saw a TT of a girl getting a deviled egg cake and now I want one. I think I’ll use your recipe to make myself a deviled egg birthday cake.

Nikki Ann

Also I was just diagnosed with Graves. No goiter lol. But I’m afraid to eat salt.

Maggie Stough

I’m a copy editor for peer reviewed scholarly publications, and if you think the published version is weird and convoluted, let me tell you that the accepted papers are a thousands times worse and only logical because of professional grammar nerds like me

Ravenna Roanoke

As someone born in 1988 I appreciate the sympathy lol I always hesitate and avoid saying it as '88 as much as possible

TitanOlaf

California Prop 65 warnings are a great example of how well meaning information sharing turning into paranoia propagation.

Pearlmania500

One year for my birthday my grandma made me a deviled egg cake! It was two trays of deviled eggs with candles in each one lolol~ Mrs.P

But also: rickets!

President of the Fishbein Fan Club

I am not a food scientist but I do get paid to make potions (for real). And it is as cool as you think it would be! Things I do know: vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat soluble - so it is possible to get too much of these. The rest of the vitamins (Bs, C, etc.): your body absorbs what it needs and then gets rid of the rest. What I don’t know: if fortification or supplementation has gone overboard in the US. That is a great question!! Rickets!

Okay listen, you have to make it through this book because the 5th one, ACOSF is the best one. My favorite, hands down

mr. buttons

Rickets. Also, am a Taurus. Apparently.

simplebrute

I think my favorite bit that's not really a bit is how you guys pronounce qanon. also do you think back in the day there was some street urchin in Boston who said "those are some wicked rickets"?

Arlo the Average

There was a puppy with rickets at the rescue I volunteer with, it made his ears curl back and he had flat feet

Mariah

Rickity rickets y’alllll

I haven’t even made it to the end of the episode, just needed to say, as a professional, Doodles definitely have GMO energy. And thanks for pointing out that we have been making GMOs for hundreds of years!

Laura H

Another problem with GMO is despite the fact they're meant to be sterile, sometimes the genes can escape through interbreeding with wild populations. Say you have a field of roundup-ready greens and then it interbreeds with a close relative that's not used by humans. Now you have a wild population of weeds that round-up can no longer work on. Suddenly you have a new pest that's immune to your poison. Then flip it to plants that make their own pesticide. Sure it may sound good on paper, you're spraying less and your plants still resist pests, but if that gene manages to jump into wild populations, you can end up messing with the ecosystem. We don't know what will happen with these genes when they start experiencing natural selection. Will they expose wild pests to pressures that make them resistant to our pesticides, or will they put excess pressure on pollinators, and end up damaging the local ecology? GMO aren't evil on their own, but you can bet your bottom dollar a corporation does not care about anything but their bottom line, the rest of us can burn if they can make a buck.

Rickets!! No joke my 18th bday was 666 where I AOL emailed my stepmother (dad had passed and mom was not around plus stepdad died year before) and moved out same day to my older sisters apartment for my SENIOR year of high school with my first job and survivor benefits. Best parties ever lol Now I am 36 and work retail.

Rickets!

RICKETS Fortify alchemy Not RFK Jr.

Demolition Dormouse

Rickets! Also: this made me realize that this is where the adjective, “rickety,” comes from (I looked it up just to be sure).

Sly Cooper

This episode came out during my yearly Skyrim obsession uncanny timing. Rickets

GOITERS IN AMERICA is the name of my Genesis cover band

After the deep and abiding sadness of the post-election podcast, it was delightful to hear Mrs P’s goblin giggle while talking about rickets.

review_of_academic_reviews

I actually am a scientist, but I do medical microbiology and immunology and wanted to say I appreciate how y’all talked about this bc it gave me perspective but also you didn’t say stuff that’s unabashedly incorrect. Good job team!

TwoHats

Mrs. P saves the day once again by reminding me I need to pick up spinach for dinner tonight. The podcast remains a panacea for life's many woes and ~13% of the horrors.

Inigo Montoya

Me successfully dancing on the edge of having the Rickets because my vit D is like 3-25 #growth

Rickety Crickets!

✨Sparkling Misandry✨

Yuppp my issues with GMOs are political/environmental, not nutritional :) but if you try to point this out, people think you're an anti-vax nutjob, lol. Also, when I was a baby my parents adopted a Doberman puppy who had rickets! He recovered and became a 100 lb beast who was still sweeter than any Yorkie I've ever run into 😆
