APPLE PECTIN THEORY FOR CHERNOBYL SURVIVORS
Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty
Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 080925
Episode #:
Original Broadcast Date: 08/09/2025
Elizabeth explores an unusual scientific observation — some centenarians from the Chernobyl region may have been protected from radiation effects by a simple, common compound: apple pectin. Researchers suggest that pectin, naturally found in apples, may bind with certain radioactive isotopes and help the body expel them. She unpacks the origins of the claim, the folk remedies and local dietary habits that align with it, and the skepticism it has faced in the scientific community. While definitive proof is still lacking, it’s a fascinating look at how a traditional food could align with modern science in unexpected ways.

About the Show
Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don’t normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.
