Imagine being promised a full athletic scholarship, changing schools, and moving across the country, then finding out a man was given your financial aid and opportunity.
This happened to Elle. Now she’s suing.
This weekend will mark 82 years since D-Day, the largest seaborne assault in history. @TonyDokoupil spoke with 107-year-old veteran Arthur Rose, who was a Navy lieutenant on that day. “I love America. I think it's the savior of the world,” he said.
For fifty years the world's obesity advice has come down to one phrase. Eat less. Move more.
A Harvard pediatric endocrinologist named David Ludwig spent twenty years showing it was the wrong answer.
Ludwig directs the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Boston Children's Hospital. He is a professor at both Harvard Medical School and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He has spent his career treating the most obese children in New England.
The standard playbook was not working. The kids cut calories. They tried harder. They came back heavier.
So Ludwig started asking a different question. What if the calorie was not the lever.
He built what he calls the carbohydrate-insulin model.
Refined carbs spike your insulin. Insulin tells your body to store fat. After the spike your blood sugar crashes. Your body interprets the crash as starvation. You get hungry again. You eat. You store more fat. You crash again.
It is a feedback loop. And the loop runs on the carbohydrate, not the calorie.
In November 2018 his team published the result in the British Medical Journal.
164 adults. 12 percent body-weight loss on a run-in diet. Then randomly assigned to high-carb, moderate-carb, or low-carb at calorie levels designed to maintain their new weight.
For twenty weeks straight.
The low-carb group burned over 200 extra calories per day at the same body weight as the high-carb group. The effect was larger in participants with the highest insulin secretion.
Read that again.
Same body weight. Same maintenance calories. The low-carb body was running 200 calories per day hotter.
That number ends every "a calorie is a calorie" debate the moment you read it.
Ludwig is not a fringe figure. He is the most credentialed voice in nutrition science quietly dismantling the orthodoxy from the inside.
His 2016 book Always Hungry has been on the New York Times bestseller list. His 2021 paper in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition formalized the model into a unified theory of obesity.
The standard advice is not just wrong. It is the wrong question.
Eat less and move more is what you say when you do not understand the disease.

🚨🚨🚨 Breaking study in #anorexia research
A supervised #keto diet helped 72% of women (13 of 18) drop below clinical thresholds for both anorexia AND depression in just 14 weeks — while keeping BMI stable and dropping anxiety & food compulsions. https://t.co/v5crQ0XIiw
@guypbenson All they have to do is get onto a ticket as a Democrat, and they're in.
And that's becoming very easy to do.
I think 9/11 was intended to create this path.
Terrorize, intimidate, play victim, and grind away.
@geraldposner The G/Ls who have common sense already realize this.
But how are they going to claw the trans, and queer theory BS off of their movement now?
It's going to be like digging out a parasite.
The T/Q, etc... need them for cover.
🚨 DAMNING REPORT: What the women at San Jose State University were subjected to should outrage anyone who believes in fairness, safety, and informed consent.
🏐Female athletes were expected to undress in front of and share beds with a male teammate without their consent.
🏐Female athletes lost opportunities, funding, and playing time.
🏐Others were injured during practices.
🏐Several women say they were never given the chance to opt out of arrangements that violated their privacy.
The report is disturbing.
And even it doesn’t fully capture what these young women experienced while their university deliberately facilitated it and ignored their objections.
On May 31,America lost a great hero,Medal of Honor recipient Colonel Bruce Crandall.He received his medal for his heroic actions as a helicopter pilot during the battle of Ia Drang, November 14, 1965 in South Vietnam. It was an honor to know you Bruce. God bless you sir. You will be missed. Rest in Peace my friend. https://t.co/rJYbQtv08n
Taking ~2 grams/day of omega-3s may be one of the simplest high-ROI habits for lifespan and cardiovascular health
At that dose, most people can move their omega-3 index from ~4% to ~8%, a range linked in observational studies to a ~5-year increase in life expectancy and ~90% lower risk of sudden cardiac death
To put that in perspective, a low omega-3 index has been associated with a life expectancy gap similar to smoking
Yet the vast majority of Americans fall short on EPA and DHA
Few interventions this impactful are this easy
All you have to do is take a fish oil supplement
This is a big deal. Omega-3s reduce aggressive behavior across randomized controlled trials.
A meta-analysis of 29 studies and nearly 4,000 participants found that omega-3 supplementation reduced aggressive behavior by up to 28%. The benefit was broadly consistent across children and adults, males and females, community and clinical samples, and across different doses and treatment durations. It also helped with both reactive/impulsive and proactive/planned aggression.
Mechanistically, this makes sense. Omega-3s are deeply involved in brain cell membranes, neurotransmission, neuroinflammation, cerebral blood flow, and gene regulation. DHA is especially enriched in the prefrontal cortex (an area critical for impulse control, emotion regulation, and executive function).
The authors even concluded that there is now “sufficient evidence” to begin implementing omega-3 supplementation to reduce aggression in the community, the clinic, or the criminal justice system.
That’s a remarkable statement for a nutritional intervention and a reminder that omega-3s influence brain health and may shape behavior in meaningful ways.
