Sunday House Call, #623,  July , 2017: Chili burns your taste buds but not your fat

Topics today include: Deconstruction of an ad for Chili Burn (TM) in the National Post misrepresents science with its claims of burning your fat to induce weight loss.

Your calls about:

• A man with Marfan syndrome and a vertebral artery aneurysm. What should he do.
• Choosing the best sunglasses for a person who has macular degeneration
• A person with a throat infection for 3 months. What is the explanation for this
• PGX for glycemic control and weight loss. Another pseudoscience product.
• A woman with laryngitis for 4 weeks. She is using an inhaled steroid and likely this has contributed to her hoarse voice.
