Episode 191: A New Year brings new questions and some new but mainly old answers – PART III

In episode 191, Mike and James finally get to the end of the latest listener questions. We try our best to answer issues about niacin, insulin, COPD, hypertension and most importantly sputum color. At the end we also question the questioner’s questions, which leads us to even more questioning.
