Myth-Busting: Comparing Clinical Beliefs to the Evidence Ep. 6
Manage episode 467455598 series 3291352
In this episode of the 5-Minute Check In with Dr. Thomas McGinn, our myth-busting team takes on two popular topics submitted by our providers:
- 5G radiation: Whether you are near a cell phone tower or holding a cell phone too close to your head, is 5G radiation harmful?
- Vitamin D: this supplement is marketed as a cure all for preventing falls, fractures, and even dementia. Should patients be routinely screened if they have no indication for deficiency?
Watch as we compare popular beliefs to the latest evidence.
