This week we put the vegan diet squarely in the spotlight where it relates to the physical health and neurodevelopment of toddlers. We try to take a balanced reading of the research keeping in mind we (a) don't have babies (b) are reasonably unlikely to have them in the near future and (c) are not vegan or vegetarian.

Conveniently, they found an old half-used antibiotics packet in their cupboard. So they agreed she should take a couple of anti-biotic tablets for a few days just to be on the safe side.  

Yep. This actually happened.

And we’re sure it happens all the time.

No wonder antibiotic resistance is a problem. Ignorance around antibiotic resistance is rife and bugs are slowly winning the war against the old guard of traditional antibiotics. This is bad. But! There is hope! And it comes in the guise of a bacteria-eating virus. This is our main topic for the episode.

We also deal with:

  • Youth mental health and screen-time

  • Why are Australian men now the longest living in the world?

  • Do caesarean sections increase the chance of the child developing autism?

BUT!

Is that ACTUALLY enough time for Darwin’s theory of incremental mutation to work its slow brand of magic??? A whole lot of smart people reckon it’s not. Justin and Justin try to find out whether they have a point! Spoiler alert: they don’t.

Justin Z also talks about his own recently published research looking at the health and educational deficit faced by twins.

PLUS!

  • What makes Malcolm Gladwell so delightful?

  • Survival-based selection vs Sexual selection

  • Was the primordial soup more of a bisque or a gumbo?

Jeremy’s Iron is an excuse for two mates to geek out over science, research and publication. It’s a conversation between a biostatistician (Justin Zeltzer) and an orthopaedic surgeon (Justin Bobyn).

He’s the CEO of Qwilr - an online document-creation platform. He’s also the lead singer of Winter People and a visual artist. But what brings him to the podcast is his regular meditation habit.

We ask him how meditation affects his high pressure work life and also how regular meditation might adversely affect the creative process.

Jeremy’s Iron is an excuse for two mates to geek out over science, research and publication. It’s a conversation between a biostatistician (Justin Zeltzer) and an orthopaedic surgeon (Justin Bobyn).

Each person with their own personal relationship to their practice. There are countless stories of meditation’s positive effect on people’s lives. From tales of rapture, to people who have come back from the brink through meditation to those that just feel that meditation makes them 10% happier.

Great! Meditation works then. Cool! No need for a podcast about it.

Wait. You’re saying there’s NO DEFINITIVE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE THAT MEDITATION WORKS? How is that possibly true? Well in this episode, Justin and Justin creep through the sticky weeds of why the effectiveness of meditation is decidedly hard to tease out. Or maybe…. just maybe… it might not be as amazing as we think!

We also talk about retired search engines, poop transplants and we announce an interview with Dylan Baskind (CEO Qwilr Industries). Note that the interview will be released as a separate episode to follow shortly!

In this episode we discuss the education principles of Montessori and Steiner schools and investigate any available scientific research on long-term effects to students.

Also in this episode: Do elderberries protect you from the flu? What is the gut-brain axis? Does Justin Z have a gambling problem? Who are the other members of the band Genesis?

Well it’s unlikely that the lads from Jeremy’s Iron have offered much in the way of segue. Consider it a sort of brutalist pastiche… half the canvas devoted to trivialites, and the other half a portrait of the most significant public health figure in history.

That said, there is way more than meets the eye to Flo Jo Nightingale. She is quite a controversial figure being at once a harsh clinician and a caring confidante, a feminist and an anti-feminist.

She swears that on the occasion that she lets her guard down and chomps into a chow mein, she’s instantly attacked with a slew of palpatory, perspitory symptoms that last hours. Now anyone that’s had a chow mein from Seq Fun BBQ house in Redfern will attest that this is a pretty good trade. But the question remains: is it the M.S.G or is she merely another victim of the vicious (and spreading) nocebo virus.

We look at the overwhelming research suggesting that microwaves are safe, sound and might even be better than your cooktop for nutrient retention. More importantly, we discuss the reasons why some people are still reluctant, decades on, to use this safe technology.

The inspiration behind this week’s podcast was an article boasting 600 reasons why turmeric may be the worlds most important herb. Sounds impressive, though none of those 600 reasons were compelling enough for turmeric to feature in the list of the top 15 most powerful herbs. Notably, the #1 herb appears to “prevent against bacterial affections”. It’s almost like these kinds of articles rely on subjective opinion, conjecture and delightful typographical errors.

None of that here! This week on Jeremy’s Iron we take to the scientific journals to see what hard evidence there is for magical healing properties of curcurmin (the active ingredient in turmeric).

On our maiden podcast voyage, we’re attempting to answer that age old question: “will flossing my teeth cure my impotence?”. The oldest chestnut there is. Well, it might sound spurious, but this seems to be commonly understood among holistic dental professionals. What’s an holistic dental professional?

Oh! Sorry. We’re actually asking. That’s not rhetoric. Please comment below.

In our first episode we get into the weeds with research that does indeed surprise us with the degree to which this phenomenon has been studied and supported. As always (we predict), the devil is in the scientific detail. Listen in, subscribe, and tell your buddies.
