Carey and Rachel are back just in time for summer with The Checkup Greatest Hits Edition! Enjoy this health news podcast, a collaboration between Slate and WBUR, Boston’s NPR News Station. You can find more episodes in The Checkup’s individual feed.
From WBUR and Slate, the solidly reported and also somewhat opinionated take on health news for you and your family. This installment explores the pleasures and perils of sugar, the viral vegetable kale, and whether kale devotees can have too much of a good thing. With a bonus yarn about a chia seed-induced emergency room visit.
