Episode Synopsis

Risk isn't the enemy. Misunderstanding it is.Since nothing comes without risk, in this episode, we break down how scientists actually measure and weigh risks and benefits before public health policies and interventions ever reach us, from seat belts to clean air to lockdown laws. Learn why 'safe' never means zero risk, how evidence evolves, and why understanding trade-offs can make us more empowered about our health.This episode of Health Savvy You, the fifth in the ''How Health Science Works' module explores the logic, ethics, and heart behind every public health decision and shows us how maths meet humanity.
