“We are going to ensure the new guidelines are based on science, not medical dogma.” For decades, saturated fat was vilified based on flawed science and institutional groupthink. Now, the FDA Commissioner @DrMakaryFDA is citing the very research I spent years unearthing. For the first time, we may see a true reversal: the new Dietary Guidelines could drop the cap on saturated fat. I never thought I’d hear this from a federal official. But here we are. Watch the clip. This is an historic moment. @HHSGov @RobertKennedyJr @SecRollins @MAHA_PAC @MAHA_Institute

What should a "healthy" label on food products mean? HHS Secy RFK Jr. has delayed a new rule updating this “healthy” label. A good move! 👏 @RobertKennedyJr @MartyMakary The proposed definition from previous administration says "healthy" foods must be low in saturated fats, sodium, and sugar. Only sugar is correct Limiting sodium (for non-hypertensive populations) and saturated fats (for all people) is NOT supported by the evidence and will likely cause harm to health. Let's not miseducate the public! The rule should re-opened for public comment and revised. Link below

The NYTimes' endless war on meat. This piece provides no evidence to show we've "run out of space." It glorifies the cornmeal diet of warriors in Darfur--I guess not realizing that this is nutritionally deficient diet--the main reason that poor people suffer from higher levels of illness, physical/mental debilities and growth stunting? (Increasingly articles on meat are by climate reporters who know nothing about human nutritional needs) It suggests that we all shift to lab-grown meats, as if these just-invented foods have already been proven to be healthy, much less cause no harm. This is a flat-earther piece that doesn't understand basic human biology. Humans need complete proteins and the vitamins/minerals from animal foods to be healthy. Less than that will lead to yet more ill-health, disease and shortened life--already grim realities in the US population. A piece of journalism should at least reckon with the counter-arguments. But the nutritional needs for human survival in a meatless world are not mentioned.
