This bill passing is not only bad for public health, it's a scary indicator about whether Congress will step up and save NIH from the proposed 40% budget cuts in FY26. We are on the cusp of catalyzing a mass exodus from biomedicine and public health as everyone's risk calculus.

Difficult to wrap my head around how much the nutrition element of MAHA has been little more than propaganda to support this bill and its tax cuts for billionaires. Maybe a dystopian viewpoint but the narratives over the past several months - criticisms of SNAP purchasing.
This is the worst piece of legislation in modern American history.

On the healthcare training in nutrition issue:.
Some nutrition training for physician is great. But there are real issues this runs into: . 1. Nutrition is a 4+yr degree/clinical training. Med school curriculum at most is going to add a few hours. There will never be time to adequately teach nutrition to physicians. They'll at.

On the seed oil issue: .
People still talking generally about seed oils as though they're all one thing - they commonly vary in their omega 6, omega 3 and omega 9 content. Even oils with the same name (eg safflower) have high n6 and high no (high-oleic) varieties. Some seed oils (eg palm kernel) are.

This new Louisiana bill (SB14) banning certain food additives in schools, requiring labels on others across the state, declarations of establishments using seed oils, and 1 hr every 4 yrs of nutrition related continuing medical education feels like a very sad pinnacle of what the

Not even asking for some firebrand politicized takedown - basic primer documents on key issues (colours, formula, etc) and priorities (e.g. updating GRAS, policy levers for addressing obesity) would be amazing and the chance to show competence and leadership after decades of.

The enthusiasm for getting the admin to take action on nutrition also should've died when it required you to become bedfellows to a broader anti public health and deregulatory agenda - that alone is not worth whatever nutrition wins you could imagine. Those wins are currently.

Glad to see AAP stand up and lead with integrity right now. Wish I could say the same for major nutrition societies - it is wild to watch them sit silent during arguably the most public enthusiasm on nutrition issues we've seen in decades. If there was an argument for cozying up.
Today's ACIP meeting is usually a time where experts come together to inform the future of vaccines. That is not what today will be. That is not what we can stand behind. The AAP will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule -- just as we have since the 1930s.
