0:18.3	What's going on everybody welcome back to another episode of the show. I'm your host Max Lugovira,
0:22.9	filmmaker, health and science journalist in New York Times best-selling author.
0:26.7	I've dedicated my life to unraveling the science behind how our choices, including what we eat and how we live,
