Science Vs

Hi, I'm Wendy Zukerman, and this is Science Versus.

And I'm here sitting on my butt.

Today on the show, we are taking a look at how bad it is to just sit.

Welcome back.

Today we are finding out how bad it is to be sitting all day.

As I sit in the studio, Michelle Dang, producer at Science Versus, tell me how bad this is because it's comfy.

Hey, Wendy.

Wendy, how much do you sit a day? Are you worried about it? I

race, everybody has diarrhea kind of a thing.

You know, on Science Versus, I listened that there is a response to nervousness that also makes your like sphincter pulse.

Uh-huh.

And that is why the nervousness at the beginning, like people take like nervous shits.

Should you take testosterone? Hi, I'm Wendy Zukerman, and this is Science Versus.

All over the internet, people are saying that you need to be thinking about your testosterone.

Taking tea used to be something mostly done by bodybuilders, but now it's pretty mainstream, with prescriptions for tea going up more than 10 times over the last two decades.

It's beautiful in its perfection.

You don't need testosterone to be happy or healthy or have a sense of well-being, right? And so I think these young men are struggling, and they just need a hug and some reassurance that they are beautiful, their bodies are perfect, and testosterone isn't going to make them happier, more successful.

That's science versus.

How many citations are in this week's episode, Rose Rimla? This week we have 83

citations.

I was going to say some other research I saw.

Like there was a really good Science Versus episode that came out a little while ago that was addressing like, does vaping cause cancer? And I think the ultimate like...

thing was like we don't have enough research to say it does but the guy who's kind of like at the forefront of this research is like do you really want like we need decades to ultimately be able to say it is unequivocally causing cancer and killing people but he was willing to go on the record being like i think that is going to happen and it's just a matter of time because we have to do like long cohort studies to be able to prove that this is like doing so many awful things in people he was not saying that smoking is worse, but in, in this relationship of like, yes.

And then people who vape are vaping more and more and more.
