The Uncomfortable Truth About Why You Need To Stop Brushing Your Teeth, Drinking Green Tea & Meditating...And Start Using Nicotine, Caffeine, Alcohol & Marijuana.
Prepare to have your mind blown... Green tea is bad for you. You shouldn't brush your teeth very much. Vitamin Water has more carbs than beer. And you should start using nicotine, five or more than drinks per day, marijuana and copious amounts of coffee. These are all shocking claims made by the book "The Good News About What's Bad for You...The Bad News About What's Good for You." and written by today's podcast guest, Jeff Wilser. Jeff is a writer whose work has appeared in print or online at places like New York magazine, GQ, Esquire, Mental_Floss, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, and The Huffington Post. In addition to the book that we talk about in this podcast - The Good News About What's Bad for You...The Bad News About What's Good for You - Jeff has also written The ManCave book, The Maxims of Manhood, It's OK To Sleep With Him On The First Date, and more.
