Fork U(niversity) Not everything you put in your mouth is good for you. There’s a lot of medical information thrown around out there. How are you to know what information you can trust, and what’s just plain old quackery? You can’t rely on your own “google fu”. You can’t count on quality medical advice from Facebook. You need a doctor in your corner. On each episode of Your Doctor’s Orders, Dr. Terry Simpson will cut through the clutter and noise that always seems to follow the latest medical news. He has the unique perspective of a surgeon who has spent years doing molecular virology research and as a skeptic with academic credentials. He’ll help you develop the critical thinking skills so you can recognize evidence-based medicine, busting myths along the way. The most common medical myths are often disguised as seemingly harmless “food as medicine”. By offering their own brand of medicine via foods, These hucksters are trying to practice medicine without a license.

episode 2: The Dirt in Wine: Tall Tales of Terroir
The monks of Burgandy would taste the soil to determine where to plant the vines. They believed great soil made great wine and the tastes went from the soil to the grape. Today a wine sommelier will tell you about where a wine is from, what the geology of the soil of the wine, and what tastes the wine has. When we taste the wine, are we tasting soil?
