Wheat Allergies, Celiac Disease and Roundup Chemicals
A discussion regarding dietary restrictions focuses on the difference between celiac disease and general wheat allergies. Claims are made that modern wheat issues are often caused by chemical treatments like Roundup (glyphosate) rather than the grain itself. One host notes that a family member became "sick as a dog" from wheat following a COVID-19 infection.
Entyvio Commercial Warnings, PML Brain Infection
The hosts deconstruct a commercial for the Crohn's disease drug Entyvio, which includes a warning for a rare, fatal brain infection called PML. They note the disclaimer states the condition has "not been reported" with the drug, leading them to wonder why the warning is included. They discuss a theory that more horrific warnings actually increase consumer interest in pharmaceutical products.
A series of donations are acknowledged, including a "stonation" from Trevor Lewis, who also mentions a Crohn's disease vaccine being tested in Canada. The hosts discuss Edward Snowden's recent interview in Brazil where he reportedly sought asylum. Various "double nickels on the dime" ($55.55) donations are read from listeners across the globe.
