This interview was first released on Epoch TV on September 17, 2024.
Dr. Marty Makary is a surgeon, professor at Johns Hopkins University, and author of “Blind Spots: What Medicine Gets Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health.”
“Groupthink is a huge problem. It creates bandwagon thinking and in the field of science, it creates dogma that can take on a life of its own. And it turns out that dogma can do far more damage than some of the good that’s discovered in medical science,” he says.
“We’ve got to recognize now the best practices are exactly opposite of what the medical establishment pounded into pediatricians for 15 years.”
In this episode, we explore the culture of medical groupthink and cases where health recommendations have produced disastrous results, looking at diabetes, peanut allergies, opioids, C-sections, and the low-fat diet.
“The medical establishment created a dogma in 1955 that fat was bad for your health. It was based on one guy: Dr. Ancel Keys,” says Dr. Makary.
How can America reverse the trend of chronic disease and poor metabolic health? Is there any hope?
