Skeptic Check: Playing Doctor

Macfadden, the eccentric who kicked off America’s fitness craze; he believed that eating less was good for you, but he didn’t believe germ theory.

It’s Skeptic Check… but don’t take our word for it.

Guests: Phil Plait – Author, badastronomy.com and Death from the Skies!: These Are the Ways the World Will End . . . Mark Adams – writer and editor, and author of Mr. America: How Muscular Millionaire Bernarr Macfadden Transformed the Nation Through Sex, Salad, and the Ultimate Starvation Diet Jim Underdown – Executive Director, Center for Inquiry, West – Los Angeles Steven Novella – Assistant professor of neurology at Yale School of Medicine
