Is drinking raw milk safe like RFK Jr. suggests? Can you reduce a glucose spike if you eat your food in, quote, unquote, the right order? I'm registered dietitian Abby Sharp.

There is so much food misinformation and disinformation out there, and it can feel impossible

0:27.9

to know what's real and what's BS.

2:16.2

I start to hear the phantom cries. And so, like, rationally,

2:23.1

I know that I'm not hearing Milo cry, but sometimes I have to turn off my sound machine and just
