"Without such careful science, Mr. Kennedy and others are left hand-waving about hunches. In this toxic soup of unknowns, it’s easy to get mixed up about what the real health threats are and to invest political capital and public money on so-called solutions that will ultimately.

Answers to a few questions from @bigfatsurprise about incidences of censorship I recently experienced at NIH:. 1. My request was denied by HHS to present an invited keynote talk on my ultra-processed food (UPF) research at the Bloomberg Philanthropies annual Food Policy Program.
