"Nearly 90% of Americans meet the criteria for CKM (Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic syndrome)" Thanks big-food CEOs You did this. 90%!! You swapped our health for your profits @SecKennedy @SecRollins please ensure our kids reach 18 in good metabolic health

Myth: “Nutrition is simply about avoiding vitamin deficiencies.”
Truth: Vitamins transformed medicine and saved millions from diseases like pellagra, scurvy, and beriberi.
But chronic disease requires us to move beyond nutrient arithmetic.

Food affects metabolism, inflammation, the microbiome, and long-term health.

Bigger food portions are always better in America. They’re not. The rest of the world understands that. Will we? Key insight from Spencer Plaut at OpenAI #CIAMOC

Happy 15th birthday MyPlate. You’re too young to die. There is still time to save MyPlate. Join us at @Nourish_Science

@DrewAltman Congrats Drew! You’ve done an outstanding job. Super proud of you.

[Bill Frist, M.D. @bfrist]

We talk about food in terms of what to avoid.
That's the wrong question.

Food is not fuel. It is biological information. And what our system stripped away is the real problem: fiber, healthy fats, microbial diversity, real nourishment. Ultra-processed foods distort metabolism, inflammation, and the microbiome. The consequences show up in our bodies, our communities, our environment.

Diagnosis: built for shelf life and profit, not health. Prescription: ask what food restores.

There is still time for @SecKennedy to invest in the NIH Office of Nutrition Research and Regulatory Science Program so we regulate the right UPF ingredients that are making us sick. Cyanide is natural. Terrific reporting by @andreaapetersen

Makary's firing is bad news for MAHA. The president publicly backed a vaping flavor ban in 2019. But then he struck a deal with big tobacco and switched his vaping position. Now he has threatened big food on UPF; how long until he makes a similar deal?

A moment of truth for Congressional nutrition champions, and nutrition world in general. Will you make stopping this demolition a priority? Once razed, it will take decades to rebuild. Thank you @marionnestle

Will FNS's relocation better serve states, nutrition program recipients, & the American taxpayer? A few facts: during Trump's 1st term USDA spent about $18m to move FNS to Braddock Pl. USDA signed a 15 yr lease in 2020. Those $$ are being squandered. GAO found this staffing shift

[Jerold Mande @JerryMande]

Key MAHA moment of truth. USDA school meal rules to implement the DGAs to improve child health. Critical they limit UPF. We need to stop allowing food companies to clean their labels thru ultra-processing. Terrific reporting by @deenashanker

As nutrition experts we tell families to eat whole grains, but then we enable labeling schemes such as Oldways Whole Grain that are not science based and mislead them. It's why MAHA don't trust us. Outstanding reporting by https://t.co/BPlYy5MCMH

"surely these rules ought to apply to the hospital cafeterias and vending machines that serve visitors and staff. That alone would be a big step forward." Excellent blog today by @marionnestle! Let's go @DrOzCMS @calleymeans @drmarkhyman

Hey @USNewsHealth, past time to add #nutrition to public health specialties. Not valuing public health nutrition has resulted in 1/3 of our children sick with a food caused chronic disease and the shortest lifespans among wealthy nations. @Nourish_Science

[Jerold Mande @JerryMande]

Terrific guidance from @DrOzCMS to hospitals on their obligations to follow the #DietaryGuidelines. If @SecRollins uses the same 8 key DGA elements in her school meal rule it will improve child health & be a major step to make America healthy @drmarkhyman

@mviser @rachel_roubein I understand & share their anger at @SecKennedy vaccine agenda. It is killing children. But adopting the big-food and tobacco playbook to respond is sad to see. 30-40% of our children have a food-caused chronic disease. He is right to support @DavidAKesslerMD petition.

[Jerold Mande @JerryMande]

Sad to see MA Ds turn to the big food & tobacco playbook here. @dunkindonuts coffee is great & healthy, but their highly-processed refined carbs are making our kids sick. Outstanding reporting by @rachel_roubein Read it & support @DavidAKesslerMD petition

Do we need a fed UPF definition? Consumer advocate ⁦@DrPeterLurie⁩ & industry rep ⁦@joyofnutrition⁩ agree, yes! But we have Nova, it is as good as our definition of nutrients. It’s time to act on the intersection of UPF & HFSS that is making our kids sick #CFAFPC
