  • Confused about Cheats for WWF
    Uneducated doctor
    If he doesn’t understand something it doesn’t exist. He blames anxiety as the diagnosis if he doesn’t understand the symptoms. His solution “ prescribe a placebo or a Vitamin C capsule and see if it helps”.

    Fascinating, Enlightening & Quite Funny
    I absolutely love this podcast. My entry into it was actually being asked to participate as a guest. But I have since listened to every episode have found the format, discussion and banter not only extremely informative but also quite a lot of fun. Please keep up the good work!!

    Amazing Show
    I’m a science enthusiast in general and this hits both my funny bone and my desire to learn more about the world. The hosts put a lot of effort into making a fun creative show that entertains but also informs. I highly recommend this show it is one of my favorites.

    Some nonsense mostly facts
    These people do the background research to provide either the best or multiple views of an issue. Would you expect nothing less with a show of its name.

    Delightfully edu-taining!
    I love the informative fun that both Jonathan Jarry and Dr. Christopher Labos bring to what can at times be weighty or difficult subjects. Even the driest of the dry stats can be interesting as these engaging witsters tackle each subject with zeal and appeal. They demonstrate a deep knowledge of their fields and are able to convey complex concepts in way that the layperson can understand and the professional can appreciate. Doesn’t hurt that they have cleverly crafted zingers and a lot of fun extra details. Thanks C & J for a wonderful and interesting podcast. Looking forward to more.

    No-nonsense but plenty of silliness, and best of all, NO ADS
    I’ve been listening to this show since the beforetimes, and loving it all along. Jonathan Jarry

    Combating Lies
    As we enter an era of misinformation overload, “The Body of Evidence” provides refreshingly truthful, scientific and verifiable answers on many, many topics. I am thankful for doctors that still exist today who desire to factually prove the answers to “why” and “how” in the medical field instead of caving into the imbalance of unprovable medical practices just because it sounds “natural” and “healthy”.

    Best medical podcast
    I am a physician. Love this podcast. Great guests, great topics all handled with both fun and critical thinking.
  • Lucy Pasteur
    Do your own REAL research - if you want the truth!
    Some truth woven with mostly pHARMa-sponsored corrupted evidence. Listen to their tone and how vague they are. For truth that benefits YOUR health rather than their pocket - go to podcast Learn True Health & vibe - Robyn openshaw among many others. Ewg- environmental working group. You think “they” care about you? Then - check if you’re REALLY thinking!

    Reliable Medical Information
    With the jokes, you get good information that should save you from the many medical scammers out there. Also check out McGill Office for Sense and Science for more, and the Body of Evidence website for blogs and videos.

    Nice, but …
    Mostly an interesting podcast, but not all the subjects are interesting to me. I’m knocking off two stars because unlike all the other podcasts I listen to, the show notes only appear if you download from iTunes.

    Impressive podcast
    I ran across this podcast a few months ago & it’s amazing. The hosts are extremely knowledgeable & do an exceptional job explaining the science, or lack of, behind trending health topics- and somehow make dry research entertaining. Their quirky camaraderie adds to the fun.
