Registered pharmacist Ben Fuchs discussed the latest in health information and alternative treatments, and tackled callers questions about various ailments. He commented on a new study that indicated vegetable oils are not necessarily healthy for the heart, and praised butter as actually a healthier option for cooking, as it's a good source for iodine, selenium, vitamin K, and specialized fats. As it's not found plentifully in the diet, "supplementing with selenium is one of the all time great anti-aging, anti-cancer, heart-protecting...minerals of all," he noted.

Clogged arteries can be related to an excess production of cholesterol and weakness of the blood vessels, and one of the ways to deal with this is to watch one's sugar intake, he said. Eating more protein (especially whey) and drinking more fluids can be a way to wean yourself off sugary products, he continued. B vitamins can increase the health of the blood vessels, while the amino acid, arginine, can improve circulation, he added. As far as auto immune disorders, Fuchs cited the importance of digestion in the small intestine, and recommended taking probiotic (healthy bacteria) supplements.
