Can the scientists just pick a new name for mRNA and tell the illiterate mob that they made a new, ancestral-raw-hormone steroid shot that prevents disease so we can get on with the life-saving technology? 🫩 . Same goes for seed oils, dietary guidelines, etc etc.

We can only assume that if things taste better, people will consume more of them. So we’ve made no improvement in health AND we are promoting people consuming more French fries and soda…. Awesome. Totally MAHA’ing…totally 👍🏼.

So you’re telling me the hyperpalatable foods like French fries and soda taste BETTER with RFK Jr’s changes? 🧐.

The most ironic responses to the beef tallow fries, cane sugar Coke, and other “wins” in the MAHA camp are the folks who acknowledge these changes are making zero improvements in health, but argue “yeah but they taste better” 🧵.

Today’s rant brought to you by this signage in the grocery store - which actually made me lol. Especially amidst the “healthy” candy bars 👌🏼

Paired with an earthy color palette and matte packaging, slapping the word “natural” on something gives the impression that the product is healthier, derived from nature, and a “better” choice…when all it really means is that they know consumers are suckers for buzz words 👹.

Friendly reminder that in the world of food/nutrition marketing, the word “natural” means *literally* nothing and isn’t regulated at all ⚠️.

Getting a lot of questions about BPC-157 - the synthetic peptide that is claimed to have regenerative properties. Does this RD recommend? In short, no. 👉🏼 Essentially zero human studies that show benefit. Only in rats. 🐀 .👉🏼 Zero third party tested products available. ⚠️.

Celebrating red food dye bans while legislators are cutting healthcare, dismantling health agencies that protect consumers, increasing prices, and eroding trust in science and public health is like painting a name of the side of my boat WHILE IT IS SINKING 🆘.

If I owned a boat, I would want to paint a cool, clever name on the side of that boat. I would also, more importantly, want the boat to not sink.

Hydration needs are dependent on many variables, but some general advice:. 💧Aim for at least 64-96 oz of fluid/day, but you may need considerably more if a heavy sweater.💧Carry a bottle with you and drink frequently throughout the day.💧Include electrolytes if sweating heavily.

Athletes: reminder during this heat wave that dehydration is the quickest way to negatively impact your performance ⚠️. Lots of poor nutrition habits can negatively impact your performance over time, but dehydration is a TODAY problem🥵.
