As a health & medicine documentary, Is a Disease-Free Future Possible? These Scientists think so | Forging the Future uses disease, future, possible as its central frame. Health documentaries can illuminate care, research and public policy but do not replace medical advice. Pay attention to the quality of evidence, the experience of patients and clinicians, and the distinction between personal outcomes and general claims.

Importance of the microbiome for a disease-free world | The Future Is Here (5/6)

After several family members developed Alzheimer's disease, Julia Ravey decided to become a neuroscientist and find the cure. Following recent research that suggests a link between the stomach, the brain and mental health, she meets the scientists harnessing the power of what is called "The Microbiome". Julia travels to Australia, where she meets Dr. Barry Marshall, a Nobel-prize winner who infected himself with H. pylori to prove that bacteria could cause ulcers, leading to a breakthrough in the stomach cancer treatment. However, bacteria are not all bad – in the Netherlands, she visits the Micropia Museum, learning that microbes can also be essential to our way of life. Understanding the microbiome as a kind of ecosystem that is part of the human body, scientists are attempting to increase the presence of microbes across the body by intentionally infecting people with more infectious agents. As microbiologists from Rutgers University explain to Julia, increasing microbial diversity in the body boosts its immunity, and helps people fight disease from the inside out. The next stop is UC San Diego, home to The American

Mosquitoes, Grilled Meat & Brain Freeze: Everyday Myths Put to the Test | Myth or Science (1/6)

In Episode 1 of Myth or Science, microbiologist Dr Jennifer Gardy takes on some of the most common health and science claims we hear every day. Using her own body as part of the experiment, she travels from Florida’s mosquito labs to freezing cold research chambers, New York food tests, and a classroom ice cream challenge to separate fact from fiction. Can mosquitoes really prefer women over men? Does grilled meat increase cancer risk? Does alcohol actually warm you up in cold weather? Do we lose most of our body heat through our head? Can eating too fast make you gain weight? And can brain freeze happen even on a cold day? With humor, curiosity, and unorthodox experiments, Gardy puts each claim under the microscope, revealing the surprising science behind the myths that shape our everyday choices. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Intro: Are Common Health Claims True? ▷ 00:40 - Can You Spread a Cold Before Symptoms? ▷ 01:51 - Are Mosquitoes More Attracted to Women? ▷ 08:00 - Can Grilled Meat Increase Cancer Risk? ▷ 11:52 - Can
