For decades, I tried to get public health elites to listen to the science on a healthy diet. MAHA is the first movement to take these issues seriously My thanks to Brian Kilmeade at @foxnews for having me on his show foxnews.com/video/63762954…

Big changes are coming, and they’ll touch every plate in America. This fall, the U.S. will release new Dietary Guidelines, potentially the most transformative health policy of this administration. These guidelines shape everything from school lunches to hospital food to what

Reduces risk of death by half! Do you realize how many studies find X (eg, eating nuts, lifting weights, whatever) reduces risk of death by 20%, 30%, etc. If all those things were true, we'd all be immortal.

Big celebration around this study--Everyone is eagar to have 'hard' data on ultra-processed foods (UPF)! Yet, no one is noticing...in this study, UPF caused people to eat LESS and lose weight. In a previous, MUCH celebrated study by the same author, UPF made people eat MORE. So

Food companies are gaming the system by exploiting vague definitions of “ultra-processed” (UPF). Triscuits have been reformulated to have only 3 ingredients—so not UPF...but still a box of starch. Homemade cookies? Not UPF but still full of sugar and white flour. We need
