Show Notes

What a pathologist doesn't know (or catch) could kill you. If you haven't found a way your parents messed you up yet, check your relationship with your siblings. Even diabetes experts don't think mouthwash causes diabetes, but if you get a large enough sample size, you can find some wacky associations. And low dopamine levels cause Parkinson's. BEST OF ALL: CRISPR makes another cameo on the show.
