| 0:00.0 | 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. I host a nutrition myth-busting podcast called Bite Back with Abby Sharp. And those are just some of the questions I tackle with qualified experts on my show. |
| 0:21.4 | 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. |
| 0:30.7 | On Biteback, my goal is to help listeners create a pleasurable relationship with food, |
| 0:35.3 | their body, and themselves, which in my opinion is the |
| 0:38.6 | fundamental secret to good health. Listen to bite back wherever you get your podcasts. |
| 0:44.9 | This podcast is brought to you have always wanted. Good morning. I'm going to say good morning because I'm |
| 1:13.8 | recording this at 8.30 in the morning. I realized last night, so usually every week on Thursdays, I send |
| 1:23.6 | the next Tuesdays episode to my editor. And last night, I'm falling asleep just as I'm about to fall asleep and I'm like, oh my God, |

| 1:48.4 | Milo had a cough and a runny nose a couple weeks ago, so I kept him home. And then we went up to |
| 1:54.6 | my parents' place where he was totally fine. And then on the car ride home, he started his cough |
| 2:00.2 | again. And he's still all like flemy and boogery and so |
| 2:05.5 | rather than bringing him to school like he's otherwise fine you know he just has those symptoms |
| 2:12.4 | but i'm just like you know what i'm so sick of sick, especially because I still have like a dry cough. |
| 2:20.2 | It's really weird. It's like my chest feels dry. It gets worse in the evening. But I was just like, |
| 2:26.9 | you know, I'm just going to keep him home. And I want him to be totally 100% better before I send him back to school. |
| 2:35.8 | And once he does go back to school, I'm just going to, you know, wait until he gets sick again. |
| 2:40.7 | I feel like that's what I've been doing since he started daycare. |
| 2:44.2 | So yeah, that's that. |
