Segment 1:

Boy do we have the show for you today. It applies to everyone because we all have to eat. What we eat can either help you or harm you, so we brought in Chef Deb Cantrell from Savor Culinary Services for a whole hour of nutrition that tastes good and serves a purpose all at the same time.

• Chef Deb – What made you, a physical therapist, change course and become a chef?
• Why nutrition is such an important component to overall health?
• What are the commonalities among all diets?
• Why fad diets don’t work
• The fads the doctors have to laugh at – what were people thinking?

DOC SHOCK

We have long had tumor marker blood tests, but now there may be a new way to detect those cells. I’m talking about the cells that break off from a tumor and float through the blood stream. Researchers out of Stanford University School of Medicine have developed a magnetic wire that attracts these little cells and allows for tumor identification. The research hasn’t yet been tried in humans, but it seems to work well in mice. The key is to magnetize the tumor cells with nanoparticles. If they can find a way to do this through a FDA process, the wire may be able to detect the tumor cells more effectively and accurately.

DEMENTIA DEFENDER

LAST WEEKS RIDDLE WAS: An experienced diver can stay under water for nearly 5 minutes.  A news reporter tells him that she can stay underwater for 10 minutes without using any breathing gear.  The diver offered the woman $5,000 if she can do it.  The diver ends up having to pay her the money.  How does she do it?  A: She holds a glass of water over her head for 10 minutes.  

This week’s riddle: I have 4 fingers and a thumb, but not a breath do I take. What am I?
