Generally speaking comfort foods are a combination of salt, sugar and fat. We’re not food scientists, but why is it that salt, sugar and fat are always found in a lot of fast foods and junk foods? As Registered Dietitian Nutritionists we’ve noticed people of color die sooner and sicker than their white counterparts because they live in nutritionally sparked food swamps, desserts, and apartheids to name a few. Why is that?!?! Could it be because of systematic marginalization and the food choices available in the zip codes where people of color live? Today, on the podcast,  we have Dr. Eric Walsh, a practicing physical and health care administrator who served both President G.W. Bush and Barack Obama here to teach us about inflammation, epigenetic, free radicals, stress and how our food choices  play a role.
