3:30 - JoneseyBanana I often chew a lot of sugar free gum when studying to prevent myself grazing on junk food. Are there any potential downsides to this, especially dentally or to the jaw itself? (Our video on artificial sweeteners: [ Ссылка ])

4:36 - In the Guns and Physicians vid ([ Ссылка ]), you said you get a physical every year. I remember you told John Green elsewhere that annual physicals (for men) are probably not necessary. Can you elaborate?

6:27 - How are you able to keep up with all the new research on such a wide range of topics? And how do you make any judgements on areas of conflicting research?

8:36 - What are your thoughts on accutane (isotretinoin) and its continued use on people as an acne medication?

10:09 - Do we know anything about brain freezes? What causes them, how to prevent them, and how to stop them once they've happened?

11:19 - Can you talk about ozone therapy and Aloe Vera products (such as forever living products)! Both are promoted as miracle treatments! Any research? Any results? Your opinion?

12:55 - What's the actual research on best hand washing practices? Length of time? Best type of cleanser? Water temperature? (Link to antibacterial soap video: [ Ссылка ])

15:00 Can you talk about what adults who had their vaccinations as kids should do in areas where there are measles outbreaks?

15:55 - How can a hypochondriac, like myself, do from having anxiety attacks and annoying his/her doctor? How can we separate real pain from psychosomatic pain?

17:20 - My wife and daughter have celiac disease, and we're planning another child. Should we introduce our new child to gluten early?

18:16 - What is your stance on moderate alcohol consumption by pregnant and breast feeding mothers? Is there any available research?

21:06 - How do you Feel about the CHIP program? It seems to me like it insures a lot of kids for a very low price. Can we expand it?

22:58 - Codeine is available over the counter in most other countries. Why is that not the case in the US?

27:36 - Which SPF Factor should I use if I live in the UK and how often should I apply it if it is 20 degrees C and sunny? I have been told buying SPF 50 sun cream is pointless. Thank you! (Our episode on sunscreen: [ Ссылка ])

29:03 What does the research show for long-term risks associated with secondhand smoke exposure? For someone who was heavily exposed during childhood, is there any way to mitigate those risks as an adult?

29:53 - What is being done to address publication bias by the pharmaceutical industry? Just how effective are some of the most commonly used drugs, relative to their original FDA trial data? (Our video on conflict of interest: [ Ссылка ])

30:19 - Regarding Diet soda, is there any danger to drinking it in larger amounts (NOT the aspartame)?
