I enjoyed authoring this review of evidence that underscores the role UPFs are playing in the diabetes epidemic. But TBH, the accumulated research is getting pretty stale…dedicated research dollars really need to pick up the pace to stand a chance at getting ahead of industry.

👋Hey epidemiologists ! Been super busy the past few weeks writing grants for the February NIH deadline, did I miss anything?

Resharing our perspective piece in AJE, "Improving nutrition science begins with asking better questions"... There is a key reason why answers from the field of nutrition science seem all over the place. Fortunately, the fix is straightforward:
