You might have a point. Dr. Ken Kronhaus comes on the radio, as a guest, once a week on a morning talk show and gives the latest health and medical news. He has a medical practice somewhere in central Florida and also has his own one hour radio program where he answers questions from those who call in.
He was the one who gave information about Soprano star Gandolfini. He said his death was brought about by overeating, and that was based on a list of foods that he had ordered while staying in a hotel in Italy. I don't have that list handy but it was an enormous amount of food.
I'm not a big fan of Dr. Kronhaus because, like Dr. Oz, he advertises products on his show. In addition to that he runs advertisements for a heart scanning service that he provides. I just happen to think that whenever there's a profit motive involved the information provided may not always be unbiased. But that doesn't mean he's not a good doctor.
He's a heart doctor and when it comes to talking about Parkinson's Disease, he had nothing to gain financially by giving the information he gave. He simply reads health and medical journals and brings the latest information to his listeners.
What he said about Parkinson's did NOT exclude other possible causes. And the information that he gives is not intended to condemn anyone, it's given so that we may learn and hopefully prevent more of it from happening in the future.
