Today @TheNewYorker released our short documentary “Rovina’s Choice." It traces the ongoing effects of the sudden shutdown of US foreign aid through the story of one mother in Kenya as she seeks to save her daughter from sickness and starvation. 🎥 1/

I led global health at USAID. And I helped make a new film, "Rovina's Choice," about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused -- already 600,000, 2/3 of them children.
Western Civilization is doomed, unless the core weakness of suicidal empathy is recognized and actions are taken that are hard, but necessary for survival

Videos like this should be required viewing for food activists who champion 'if you can't pronounce it don't eat it' & other ick factor-based health guidance. Foodie tropes regularly become anti-vaccine tropes & the nutrition world really hasn't reckoned with their role in this
I should have shared this interview yesterday, on Halloween, because frankly, it scared the hell out of me. My favorite criminologist, @GDBAProtects, has written a new book, and it’s as terrifying as it is controversial. It’s also laugh-out-loud funny, absolutely maddening, and

If you're wondering what about the science has changed, it's really not much. The Dietary Guideline Advisory Committee report didn't change their recs on satfat ... But Rollins pretty flat out tells us it's about economics (and ag votes) https://t.co/HJg5gkuvWq

The academic debates around saturated fat have largely questioned whether they're as 'bad' as once thought, given the limited association with CVD in cohort studies assessing self reported intakes in relation to disease risk (despite controlled feeding trials clearly showing a

“It is rich that the NIH and Big Pharma want to take over leucovorin when they and the universities have fought my research for 20 years,” says Richard Frye. By @bborrell

Frye has led two placebo-controlled trials of the folate supplement in autistic people; the first was suspended by regulators, and the other has yet to be published.

Folks following the leucovorin & autism story should be aware of a ton of PubPeer activity on one of the major trials. Many inconsistencies, statistical concerns, etc raised. https://t.co/h03ZC56swC

This stat news piece is a good insider view of the FDA for those of us confused why Makary said leucovorin would treat hundreds of thousands of kids with autism, meanwhile they pursued an indication for CFD, a rare disease affecting a couple dozen children. Leucovorin has some
Have you been wondering how the FDA came to ask $GSK to file to have leucovorin approved for some types of autism? The details of that decision -- the director of the FDA's drug division negotiated a tense bargan with agency staff -- are only the start of this important piece

. @AJCNutrition published a great workshop summary about NHANES last year and really strongly highlighted the need for more resources to keep up the survey and expand its coverage, bring it's methods into the 21st century more and expand the types of biomarkers it looks at

MMWR stole the show in the first round of headlines about CDC cuts but in the chaos, many missed that the NHANES mobile team remains RIF'd. This is the backbone of this key survey that contains some of the only nationally representative standardized anthropometric, biochemical,
NHANES has collected data on eating patterns, diabetes, and other common diseases for decades. The CDC team that runs it has been fired.
