Milk is trending again—but it’s not the health drink it’s claiming to be. ⁠ ⁠The truth? You don’t need milk for hydration, strong bones, or protein. Plant-based options like soy, fortified oat, or almond milk offer all the nutrition—without the cholesterol, hormones, or cruelty

Worried about soy and testosterone? Don't be. A meta-analysis of 50+ studies shows soy doesn’t lower T or harm fertility. It may actually help lower body fat, boost testosterone, and protect your prostate. #MensHealthMonth

In the United Club, the soup isn't vegan. The sandwiches aren't vegan and even the taco bar doesn't have the obvious vegan choice of beans for the tacos. United Airlines needs to do better!

Macalester College is still using and killing live animals in the psychology classroom. As an alum, I’m leading a legal effort urging the college to adopt more ethical, modern, and nonanimal methods. startribune.com/alum-sues-maca…

Processed food isn’t just made in factories. Civet coffee and foie gras are processed inside animals through digestion or force-feeding. It’s a reminder that food processing can take disturbing forms, especially when animals are treated like machines.

As a physician, I’m concerned when we lump all “ultra-processed” foods together. Not all are harmful; many plant-based ones are actually linked to lower diabetes risk. The real issue isn’t processing; it’s what we’re processing. Read more: medpagetoday.com/opinion/second…

Chicken is often called a clean protein. But it’s processed by design. From corn feed to cholesterol-laden meat, it’s a transformation with serious health risks.

Behind every glass of milk is a complex system: fermented grain, four stomachs, enzymes, and hormone synthesis. It's not the “simple” food it's marketed to be.
