Can I Have Another Snack?

Hey team and welcome to Can I Have Another Snack? and a bonus free pod for you.This month we got sent a listener question about Emily Oster's take on a study about sugar rationing and whether that leads to better metabolic outcomes for kids. Since there is sooo much chat about sugar right now, we thought we'd answer it in a Rapid Response/Dear Laura/All of the Snacks mash up - so here it is, a bonus free podcast with my take on Emily O.For paying subscribers, I go into a ton more depth in a Dear Laura post (dropping on Thursday) about the history of so-called ‘natural experiments’, what this study actually says, and Emily’s response. It’s a little less off-the-cuff than this conversation and digs into the nuance of how they reported the stats a bit more. If you're not yet a paying subscriber and want to read that, do the thing here.Let me know what you thought of the episode over in the comments at canihaveanothersnack.com.

It's time for part 2 of our November ALL OF THE SNACKS podcast.

Ok so here's what happened: as we do every month, Lucy and I resolved to keep our answers snappy when we recorded our monthly ALL OF THE SNACKS episode. But instead we did the opposite and talked for like 90 mins. Rather than cutting a bunch of stuff, we decided to split the episode into two parts. Part 1 is here, right now where we're covering:👉 our varying success at DIY👉 whether glucosamine supps might actually (maybe) be worth a shot? 👉 And what if your teen becomes obsessed with protein and gains.In part 2 (dropping in 2 weeks), we're going to talk about:👉 the trifecta that is PCOS, insulin resistance and perimenopause. 👉Plus how to feed your kids when *everything is bad for them*👉 And finally, nostalgic party foodsPart 2 will be for paid dudes only.
