Sometimes I’m asked to help dairy producers and nutritionist to evaluate the different options of milk replacers or whole milk to best feed their calves. The choice seems to be way more clear for us humans 🥛🐮
@nicknorwitz In my home, it's whole milk all the way. https://t.co/C7abbTJRCl

“The evidence for a direct vascular or heath risk from eating meat regularly is very low, to the point that there is probably no risk.”

Red meat has been linked to all sorts of adverse health outcomes. But a new study shows that the associations are weak or nonexistent.

A recent cross-sectional study by Uyama et al. (@OntVetCollege) found that preweaning calves were frequently treated with antimicrobials and identified practices associated with antimicrobial use. Read the full paper in the Journal of Dairy Science ➡️ https://t.co/sGAqK6m2Kb

“…because they rely on grazing and forages, cattle need only 0.6 kg of protein from edible feed to produce 1 kg of protein in milk and meat, which is of higher nutritional quality. Cattle thus contribute directly to global food security.” #WSJFood

One of the reasons ruminants 🐄🐂🐃🐐🐑are awesome: "...ruminants need 0.6 kg of human-edible protein feed intake to produce 1 kg of protein (contrary to 2 kg for monogastrics), which makes them net contributors to global human-edible protein production." https://t.co/4szAIJwMgD

If something is advertised as ZERO calorie it’s likely going to make you GAIN weight by stimulating appetite. Don’t be fooled by food & drink industry fraud #killingforprofit #obesity #NHS
👀 New study finds that artificial sweetener sucralose (aka Splenda) ⬆️ appetite + cravings in women and those with obesity Double-blind crossover trial My conclusion: artificial sweeteners are best avoided in those wanting to lose weight Article here 👇 https://t.co/KTgZATj7H7

The disease was smallpox, and a "howling mob" attacked police.
