Ask the Doc with Dr. Whaley – aromatherapy, artificial sweeteners, and Taurine

Doctor Whaley had some excellent information for us this morning. He answered the following viewer questions this week:
  • What are the benefits of aromatherapy?
  • Can I use artificial sweeteners if I have diabetes?
  • Taurine is listed as an ingredient in many energy drinks. What is taurine? Is it safe?
He also talked about studies of NFL and college football players that have donated their brains to test the long term effect on your cognitive function after years of this full contact sport.
