Yes! This is so important. RT @CDToner: @KarenCollinsRD says Be clear - fat shaming NOT helpful; excess body fat harmful, unhealthy wt loss practices also harmful #dietandcancerreport @aicrtweets @SCANdpg

If you choose to drink alcohol, please check your portions! We often overserve wine & hard liquor. Also, you can't "save up" all week and then have 7 drinks on Saturday. Binge drinking is considered 5+ drinks for a man, 4+ drinks for a woman. @aicrtweets #CancerResearch #alcohol https://t.co/RjQu06Kgw4

Alcohol, especially wine, has an image as a heart-healthy choice, but few are aware of the link between alcohol and cancer risk. The link should be of special concern to women, since increased breast cancer risk starts at relatively low amounts of alcohol: https://t.co/kMalOfybIa

Weight is not the problem, weight stigma poses a bigger threat to developing long-term exercise routines. Be an advocate with a positive and self-care mindset, treat others with equality, avoid condescending comments and assumptions. #haes #bodykindness

As a dietitian, people ask me what diet I believe in. That’s weird for me. It’s not a religion. Nutrition is based on good science and research. Read this article by my colleague @julieupton in @usnews #realfood https://t.co/as5KINPTsp

To all the moms in clinic:

Feel free to breastfeed whenever. Your baby/toddler is hungry. I'm a pediatrician & mom. It's NO BIG DEAL.

Cover-up if you'd prefer, but not for my benefit.

And no need to say "I'm sorry." Because you should be proud.

For those of us "fortunate" enough to stockpile, losing power means losing tens of thousands of dollars in insulin. For others, it means choosing between rent and insulin for the next three months. Our lives should not have contingencies. #insulin4all https://t.co/fYdOmhntkM

In a highly unusual move, the @USDANutrition gives less than 12 hours notice of a webinar about the new #DietaryGuidelines process. But then its safe to say little about this process is likely to be usual.

Butter is fine to eat in moderation, like any other calorie dense food, but let's not go crazy by believing it has magical properties. Don't put butter in your coffee, it's not worth it.
