SBS knowledge and health variety show "Three perspectives" takes "oxidation," the spark of cancer and inflammation in our body's cells, as its theme and delivers shocks and twists through three perspectives: history, science and medicine.
The episode airing at 8:35 a.m. on the 21st on SBS "Three perspectives," hosted by MCs Kim Seok-hoon and So Seul-ji, features science writer Kwak Jae-sik, historian Lee Chang-yong, internal medicine specialist Kim Bo-min, and comedian Park Se-mi grants, who explore the key concept of human health, "oxidation," from multiple angles.
First, historian and docent Lee Chang-yong digs into the secret of the elixir of life "mumiya," which 16th-century French king Francis I reportedly carried on his person every day. That medicine, which European royalty allegedly ate for immortality at the time, was revealed to have been surprisingly made from "ingredients taken from corpses," shocking viewers. MC Kim Seok-hoon, hearing this, could not hide his astonishment, saying it was hard to believe. Curiosity grows about what that mysterious identity could actually be.
During the broadcast, science writer Kwak Jae-sik startled everyone with the unexpected comment "Actually I have two fathers." He mentioned another "scientific father" in addition to his biological father and explained the fundamental reasons humans age and get sick using engaging analogies. Then Kwak Jae-sik warned that "there is a time bomb hidden in our bodies" and provided a scientific interpretation of its identity.
Next, internal medicine specialist Kim Bo-min outlines the common denominator of cancer, dementia and inflammatory diseases and introduces the latest medical keywords that have emerged as key answers to preventing them. In particular, she will focus on analyzing the substance that plays the role of the "conductor" in the body's antioxidant system, along with technology that dramatically increases absorption.
Comedian Park Se-mi, appearing as a special guest, passionately sang the OST of the Netflix hit animation "K-pop Demon Hunters" and likened scenes of fighting evil spirits to the internal war of reactive oxygen species and inflammation. The lively performance, saying "close the gate so the bad substances can't come out," reportedly turned the studio into a sea of laughter.
The "oxidation" that humanity has long feared — how exactly does it become the spark of cancer and inflammation, and in what ways can it be controlled? The three perspectives of history, science and medicine offer clear answers. This broadcast, which covers an emperor's secret medicine from history, the time bomb inside the body revealed by a scientist, and the solutions offered by the latest medicine, is expected to provide viewers with both knowledge and entertainment.
