The Guardian view on the carnivore diet is described as a fad for consuming high-protein, high-fat food, and followers are doing themselves no favours. It contains not a single peer-reviewed, nor attempt to investigate properly. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Where do I find a list of substances in foods? For example, if I eat spinach leaves, what is in them and how much? Vitamins? Minerals? Oxalates? Nitrates? Omega3/6s? etc.

Had my NHS health/blood test for cholesterol, triglycerides and HbA1C, and that's it. No vitamins or essential minerals, no blood counts. Was told if I had symptoms, I could see a doctor. Told the nurse that I want to prevent chronic disease. Do they want you to get ill?

I don't think @garyseconomics (Gary Stevenson) quite understands Modern Money Theory. This is from his book The Trading Game (well recommended). He doesn't mention MMT, but he does describe one way that governments spend. Not the same? #mmt mmt.works

Stevenson also writes: "Who lends money to national governments? Largely it is the banks of the countries themselves. Ultimately, it's you if you're a bank depositor. The bank takes your deposits and it lends them to governments."

Incredible conflict of interest.
The BMJ
@bmj_latest12 Sep 2024
More than half of the experts on the UK government’s nutrition advisory panel have links to the food industry, reveals #BMJInvestigation. At least 11 of the 17 members have conflicts of interest with the likes of Nestle, Tate and Lyle, and Unilever bmj.com/content/386/bmj.q190…

Vaccines recalls list There used to be a list of vaccine recalls but I can no longer find it. Can anyone help? It is different to the FDA drugs recalls at fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-an… #vaccines

Drug Recalls

FDA provides a searchable list of recalled products. Drug recalls are actions taken by a firm to remove a product from the market.

UK Gov misleads again. Government claims taxes pay for government spending. Many economists say this is nonsense. Parliament decides spending into the economy, taxes take money out and deletes it. People should read about Modern Money Theory #MMT mmt.works

I didn't know this. Thanks to Truss and Kwarteng 5% of your council tax now goes to banks, because government is defunding local government. This is predatory capitalism at work. People should read about Modern Money Theory #MMT mmt.works theguardian.com/society/2024…

Modern Money Theory (MMT) Works

MMT describes how the economy works. Although MMT does not prescribe government policy, there are some "natural" consequences. Some MMT core points are below.

Taxes can't pay for government spending. ① In 1853 tax revenue was about £70 million ② By 2022 it had increased to about £700 billion Where did the extra money come from? Read Modern Money Theory #MMT mmt.works
