patriots won super bowl xlix in february. >> what happened about deflated balls? >> tom brady is healthy and vibrant. i don't think there is any relevance to that comment. >> was it disruptive for the team? you suggested to the league that they owed yo aan apology. >> whenever you are privileged to get to the big game there are lots of distractions that come about. bottom line is we won our championship game b45-7. and we won the super bowl 28-24. league pretty much had full charge of the football. so they are looking into it. and i'm very comfortable with the people and organization we have. >> the nfl is not announced if brady will be disciplined. he could face punishments that could include a fine or

in our morning rounds precision medicine being called the future of health care. president obama announced he wants $250 million for researchers to explore the

personalized approach. a new opinion piece spells out what is at stake. one of the authors is our own doctor david agus. this must be important. what does it mean exactly? >> the world economic forum said precision medicine or personalized medicine is happening all over the world. is it good for society? does it make better health care and costs? the amazing thing we found we did simulations of what would happen is that most people were using it for disease to treat cancer to understand it better and others and very little for prevention. when you use it for prevention there are dramatic effects that benefit both patient and society in the tune of billions of dollars of savings. >> what can it prevent? >> if you can start to identify who is at risk for heart disease, diabetes and some disorders you can intervene earlier. heart disease, cancer, diabetes

are the big killers now. we can make a small dent in those diseases there will be dramatic faekeffects later on. >> right now we use genetics. we can start to do things that are personal and prevision for you. it means the right dose of the right medicine for the right patient. going forward we are going to look at other factors. we start to look at proteins and bacteria. all of those to start to personalize things. we say age 50 get your colonoscopy. many people have a colonoscopy don't have a polyp. the idea is to do the right thing when you actually need it. >> any disease you would not want to know about? >> right now to me knowledge is power. and so every disease i would want to know about because i want to plan my life differently and hopefully i want to delay the disease. to me i want to know but it is a

personal decision. for many diseases you need to discuss with the patient or i do and say do you want to know? >> i think most people say yeah but you say the american health care system isn't geared towards that. >> we are incentivised to treat. so if you say to insurance company pay now to do a test that may prevent a disease 10 or 20 years from now they say that person is going to switch plans so why should i do that? doctors are paid to treat and do surgery. they are not incentivised to prevent. we need to reshape the system and push to that prevention because i think that is how health care should go over the next decade or two. >> really important point. thank you. >> thank you guys. and are those baked chips good for you and why do some olive oils come in dark containers? the editor and chief of readers

if a product contains a lot of it they might put evacuated cane juice. they use different kinds of sugar. >> you said there is a difference between multi grains and whole grains. >> if you see multi grains on a package it usually means many grains and not whole grains. so if you are looking for fiber in particular the word multi grain is a trigger to know it probably doesn't contain as much as you think. >> it is healthier to do whole grains. when you were talking about potato chips you said baked potato chips may not be as healthy as you think. why am i doing this? >> they are just conglomerations of highly refined potato flakes. you might be better off having a real potato chip cooked in a healthier oil. >> bless you, my child. life changing for me.

>> have that potato chip and that real -- >> labelling is really interesting when you look at the difference between green labels and red labels. >> just the use of the color green behavioral labs found that consumers think that the product is healthier. manufacturers told reader's digest that they know this and will use green on something that may not be as healthy. you need to be looking at ingredients, educating yourself rather than maybe falling victim to some of the tricks. >> what is the confusion about nitrates? >> so you might see no nitrates or no nitrates added on a meat product for example. this is often incorrect because if you see celery powder on an ingredient list the manufacturer will take that convert it into a chemical. it is naturally high in nitrates and convert it into a chemical that is the same as nitrates. >> i will be looking at my nitrate free bacon very soon.

>> i think the color green versus red is very interesting. i never thought about that before. you brought olive oil for a reason? >> they pulled olive oils off of supermarket shelves and 70% didn't live up to the extra virgin label. you need to have more confidence in the olive oil is in a dark container it is less likely to become rancid or if it has a harvest date on the label. >> dark bottle is better? >> it's better because the light can make the olive oil go bad. >> what is the harvest label? >> many of the best olive oil manufacturers have a harvest date on the front so that can give you more confidence that it is from a good manufacturer. it is more recent and hasn't been sitting on the shelf for a few years. >> why do manufacturers do this? >> everybody is trying to get the most bang for their money. they are trying to appeal to consumers. they are trying to sell

healthier products. consumers have clamored for lower calorie and either make it green or in the case of 100 calorie packs like i'm just going to eat it and they did a study and found that people with 25% less food if it is in a 100-calpack. you can't educate yourself on everything. if you care about sugar and whole grains or fiber make sure you aware of the words on the label. >> she is an italian business superstar with an eye for fashion and fast cars. how the
