The distinction between opinions and evidence-based guidance is essential. In the attention economy, #ScientificPuffery might be attractive, but it works against credibility. And right now, scientific #credibility is under siege. HT: @EmilyDhurandhar

Engaging parents for early childhood obesity prevention has long been presumed to be essential. But research says it’s ineffective.

For a long time, much of the effort to prevent early childhood obesity has focused on parents. New research in @TheLancet suggests this is ineffective. HT: @KylieEHunter

Nothing new from this administration or any that came before them.. also nothing new from public health experts either… same tired “blame industry” narrative to deflect responsibility from them too. No meaningful solutions offered.
The gap between reality and rhetoric became abundantly clear with the release of the #MAHA (in)action plan. Of course, inaction is better than harmful action. HT: @hbottemiller

MAHA Meets Reality and Morphs into Let’s Move! - ConscienHealth

It’s beginning to look like MAHA is turning into a refurbished version of Let’s Move! More nudges and flash than real action and change.

@ConscienHealth TBH, Ted, I've not had the chance to check directly with the report itself (I really had hiccups with some sites logging in from Romania for @SRNT_Europe #SRNTE2025), but it did not get much attention in the coverage. But it was still a busy week.... https://t.co/LaZEwBnwYC

HHS through FDA, and CBP announced the seizure of 4.7 million units of unauthorized e-cigarette products with an estimated retail value of $86.5 million – the largest-ever seizure of this kind.

Correlation, causation, what's the diff? Headlines this week tell us "study finds" that #ClimateChange causes #AddedSugar consumption to go up. Clickbait. 🙄 https://t.co/DbcHUoKGOj

@ConscienHealth @juliaoftoronto @KevinH_PhD My daughter introduced me to high protein pasta aiming to improve diet of grandkids. Guess what? They are classed as ultra-processed. The classifications are pretty useless.

A thoughtful commentary and an upcoming book by @juliaoftoronto and @KevinH_PhD, have us thinking about distinctions between food and the #FoodEnvironment, as well as the problem with calling it all "toxic." https://t.co/qZ9yVRpMyF

Toxic is one of those clickbait words that ironically fuels poisonous rhetoric on the very nuanced subject of food and health.
