Episode 45 – Preventative Medicine: the Mediterranean Diet and the Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder

Welcome back Rounds Table Listeners!

We are back today with our Classic Rapid Fire Podcast!

This week, podcast guests Dr. Emily Hughes and Dr. Justin Boyle discuss two recent papers – one, exploring the benefits of the Mediterranean Diet, and the second investigating the relationship between the progression of alcohol-associated liver disease after medical therapy for alcohol use disorder. Two papers, here we go!

1. Long-term secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease with a Mediterranean diet and a low-fat diet (CORDIOPREV): a randomised controlled trial (0:00 – 6:54).

2. Incidence and Progression of Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease After Medical Therapy for Alcohol-Use Disorder (6:54 – 18:28).

And for the Good Stuff:

• Coffee drinkers may be at lower risk of early death, study suggests (18:28 – 19:50).

• Small-scale possession of illicit drugs will be decriminalized in B.C. starting next year: Ottawa (19:50 – 21:09).
