The podcast discusses a surprising human tendency to want to avoid information that could potentially be negative. Please post a response in the discussion board to the following questions:

What else could doctors, nurses, counselors or other health practitioners focus on when trying to help people make healthier choices? Think of a specific example where negative feedback is possible and consider a way to help people listen to or receive that information.
