Summary

What’s in our medicines? There are active ingredients, and there are excipients, which is everything else. From colorants to emulsifiers to adjuvants, excipients hide many horrors, and it’s not even possible to know which ones are in your meds (or foods).

0:00.0	Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse podcast live stream. I believe it is the 274th. It is April 30th of
0:13.8	2025. I am Dr. Brett Weinstein. You were Dr. Heather Heying. A third of the way through another year.
0:19.9	Third of the way through another year. Third of the way through another year.

1:40.7	Yeah, so not true.
1:42.3	So I don't know that there's a luckily side of the experience.
