Rob offered an alternative suggestion for having homemade soup that offers so much more goodness, taste and health benefits.

Tune in to hear about the differences between broth and stock and how to make delicious soup from scratch.

Taking hearty homemade soup in a thermos is like taking a warm hug from home to school or to work.

Today, we address a listener's question about avoiding dairy, if she is not lactose intolerant and doesn't have an allergy or sensitivity to milk products. Her mother had multiple fractures in her late 80's and this woman now has osteoporosis as well. She was told to avoid dairy, as it's inflammatory.

We debunk the misinformation and help provide some information for her to make better, more informed choices about calcium-rich foods and fluids, and to aim for food first instead of relying on supplements for her nutritional requirements.

After all these years with a variety of different episodes and talk about Rob's breakfast, it's amazing that we haven't had a dedicated episode about oats. Not until we had a great question from a listener, "I don't like the texture of steel cut oats, can I just use instant oats?"

Sandra and Rob discuss the merits of the variety of different oats available in the marketplace, including steel cut, rolled (old fashioned), quick and instant oats.

Is one healthier than another?

Tune in to find out which oats to use, if you have health in mind.
