Episode Details

A study finds that vegetables aren't as healthy as you'd think. Could we have been wrong about leafy greens, bright red peppers, purple cabbage, and delicious yellow corn this whole time? Could greasy hamburgers and fat steaks be the key to long life with a healthy heart?

Umm, no and no.

Renowned cardiologist Dr. Kim Williams points out a major flaw in the research that had many parents wondering whether they'd been doing their kids wrong by not letting them leave the table until they finished their Brussels sprouts.

He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room to discuss the major point missed by researchers and push back against the notion that vegetables aren't necessary heart healthy. Also, he reveals which vegetables may offer the biggest benefit to your heart!

Dr. Williams also discusses other new research on rising rates of high blood pressure during the pandemic and the best diet to treat hypertension. Plus, discover the surprisingly little amount of alcohol that is heart healthy.
