  NEW: Butter vs Ghee: Cancer Expert Joins Saranne 02.10.2026 25p

   On today’s episode of Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne is churning up the fun with none other than Jacqui Bryan, the show’s functional medicine superstar and resident health punner. If you’ve ever been butter-confused at the grocery store or wondered if ghee should really get all that golden glory, this episode will leave you giggling and much clearer on what to spread, sauté, or skip. Saranne and Jacqui tackle the age-old butter vs. ghee debate, cracking open the facts on lactose, saturated fats, and the wild world of dietary myths, all sprinkled with delicious jokes and practical advice for anyone managing health concerns, from everyday eaters to those navigating Stage IV cancer. This convo is so smooth, you’ll be craving a baked potato just for the excuse to participate. Jacqui Bryan has been whisking up wisdom on Beating Cancer Daily for over 150 episodes. A certified nutrition specialist, whole health educator, RN, and certified health coach, Jacqui’s known for turning confusing nutrition fads into simple, bite-sized truths, always with a generous helping of flavor and a dash of corny humor. "The general guidance suggests that you keep saturated fat to 10% or less of your total daily calories. So, when you think about it, butter or ghee are not the only saturated fat sources that you're probably consuming." ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:·     Butter and ghee each have their own flavor personalities: butter is creamy and classic; ghee is nutty and toasty; pick your butter half wisely·     Saying “ghee” out loud at the supermarket is more fun than you’d think, but knowing what it actually is matters more·     With both, it’s easy to spread yourself too thin, or maybe too thick, so moderation is key, limiting saturated fat to about 10% of daily calories·     Ghee isn’t magical; it can bring the heat in your skillet, but neither ghee nor butter is going to save your heart or lower your cholesterol just by showing up on your toast·     If you are lactose intolerant, you might do butter with less bellyache by picking ghee; just don’t mistake it for a total allergy workaround·     Balancing out with the “cool kids” of the fat world, olive oil, avocado oil, nuts, and seeds keep your ticker happier·     Smothering a baked potato with butter or ghee is delightfully nostalgic, but drowning it might bump you past that daily fat allowance·     Remember, the best fat for your plate is the one you genuinely enjoy and fits your life, not the loudest fad on the shelfResources Mentioned: Beating Cancer Daily "Great Oil" episode comedycures.orgGuest Contact Information: JacquiBryan.com           2025 People’s Choice Podcast Awards Best Health Series FinalistRanked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025,and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 to 2025. Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in 150 countries across 7 continents and features over 420+ original daily episodes hosted by Stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg.

  NEW: Outsmarting Parasites: Cancer Expert Joins Saranne 18.09.2026 29p

   After facing the anxiety and uncertainty of food recalls during her own cancer treatment, Saranne explores real-world concerns about parasite outbreaks in fresh produce, focusing on the recent Cyclospora surge. She is joined by a recognized expert in functional medicine who clearly explains how Cyclospora affects people with compromised immune systems, such as those undergoing Stage IV cancer treatment. Together, they discuss practical, science-based strategies to minimize risk, maintain nutrition, and regain a sense of control. Jacqui Bryan is a registered nurse, certified nutrition specialist, whole health educator, certified health coach, and functional medicine expert. With years of experience helping individuals navigate complex health journeys, including those undergoing cancer treatment, Jacqui delivers trustworthy, actionable advice that blends medical science with practical everyday solutions. "Cooking destroys this parasite completely. Heat-treated produce carries no risk from Cyclospora." ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:·     Cyclospora is a microscopic parasite that contaminates fresh fruits and vegetables and cannot be seen, tasted, or smelled.·     The greatest risk for outbreaks occurs from May through August, making summertime especially important for food safety.·     Individuals going through cancer treatment, including those with Stage IV cancer, are at higher risk for severe effects from Cyclospora infection.·     Washing produce can reduce risk, but Cyclospora is stubborn and often survives normal rinsing. Even pre-washed items should be cleaned again at home.·     Cooking vegetables and fruits fully destroys Cyclospora, while freezing does not reliably kill the parasite.·     Avoid kitchen cross-contamination by keeping separate utensils and cutting boards for raw and cooked foods.·     Selecting whole produce over pre-cut or packaged options reduces the likelihood of contamination since pre-cut items have more surface area and handling.·     If diarrhea persists, especially during an outbreak, ask your doctor for specific Cyclospora testing and focus on hydration, using lower-sugar options like coconut water.
