For anyone wondering how we got to the point of an HHS Director who's thinking about children's mitochondria when he looks at them. There are so many academic medical centers complicit in how we got here because embracing the rise of bs integrative & functional medicine helped

When I began my career I worked in clinical inpatient and outpatient nutrition. For many years, "High blood pressure" was anything over 140/90. However since 2017 it's been defined as any reading...

Last week’s shooting at the CDC wasn’t random. A man fired over 180 rounds, killing one guard and forcing 93 children to flee daycare — because he believed the toxic lies that the COVID vaccine had harmed him. These lies have names. They have sources. And they have deadly

📉 What REALLY happens when you stop anti‑obesity meds? - - - A new meta‑analysis [Wu et al., BMC Medicine, 2025] just mapped the weight regain trajectory after stopping GLP‑1s and other AOMs—and it’s eye‑opening. Key findings: ⏳ First month off: Weight loss continues briefly

There's so much noise about nutrition in the media recently but none of it seriously confronts the decades of underfunding of nutrition research that inhibits us from knowing as much as we should know. The scandal isn't artificial food colours in ice cream- it's that we don't

You don't have to follow a crazy, restrictive diet to be healthy, prevent or manage disease. The DASH4D study is a clinical trial investigating the effects of a modified DASH diet on blood pressure in individuals with type 2 diabetes. https://t.co/B4Sblidkwc

There’s so much misinformation out there about red dyes in foods. Contrary to popular belief (or what Foodbabe says), they aren’t banned in the EU—they’re regulated and have a solid safety record. It feels a bit intellectually dishonest when policymakers and food companies focus

The head of the FDA tells us they're taking a look at the dietary guidelines and that the food pyramid is out. The food pyramid has not been in use since 2011 when MyPlate replaced it. It is inherently concerning the head of the FDA doesn't know this, but even moreso that

This is your daily reminder that organic farming also utilizes pesticides. Pests are indiscriminate, affecting all types of fields and production methods. Consequently, organic products can also show traces of pesticides. Regardless of how your produce is grown, the pesticide

The USA was a science & tech trailblazer, now we are going backwards. Kennedy doesn’t believe science nor understand it. We’ve seen so much advancements in the genetics field and now instead of embracing it we are halting progress.

It's super heartening to see stuff like this and at the same time, reminds me that the entirety of the academic nutrition community is still largely sitting quiet. It is wild to watch societies and tenured folks sit on the sidelines hoping for benefits from the performative
Breaking news: Staff at the National Institutes of Health have issued a declaration calling on their director to depoliticize the agency and reverse spending cuts.

Amazing to see press releases on a hypothesis paper that uncritically accepts the extremely methodologically flawed brain-microplastics paper https://t.co/7KuHiHYwe8

Scientists warn about the combined health impacts of microplastics and ultra-processed foods that contain them in four new papers.

“Is there something not conservative about the USDA nutrition guidelines saying that little children should not eat added sugar and they should eat whole food?” 🤔 Do you think Calley Means has ever actually read the US Dietary Guidelines for Americans?
MAHA is not left or right. MAHA is about unraveling corporate capture. Calley Means: “Taking a $10 billion subsidy away from soda for kids is not a violation of conservative principles.” “Is there something not conservative about the USDA nutrition guidelines saying that

Calley will do anything to push an anti-institutional/expert narrative so that he can bolster his chances of cashing out his company, Truemed, including lying about @AmerAcadPeds guidelines he expects you not to read. It's a 100 pg document that has a single paragraph on GLP1s
This is how it works: (1) The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) accepts millions from pharma. (2) The AAP recommends Ozempic as a frontline defense for 12 year olds. (3) The CDC says this is “evidence-based” standard. This is rank corruption against kids.
