Since my Harvard lab closed yesterday, I've been reading and interpreting this week's published papers on #COVID19. What follows is a thread of information, my interpretation, links to sources & predictions. Let's start with what you need to know... #coronavirus#COVIDー19
How is Trump proposing to pay for his tax breaks to the top 1%?
With cuts to Medicare, to Social Security, to education, to affordable housing, to nutrition assistance and to retirement benefits.
This is a budget of unbelievable cruelty, and together we are going to stop it.
My op-ed:on why the nutrition establishment "went ballistic" over the red-meat papers. All experts asking for paper's retraction were members of vegetarian advocacy group. Also, mostly epidemiologists. Also $ factor. https://t.co/5oNkdxOVPI
@nelsonagholor@neontaster This proves that no matter how spicy you think your comeback is, nothing beats being a good sport and taking it all in stride. This is how you rise above and inspire people. Much respect sir.
Donald Trump: “Here’s a dumb idea.”
Press: “Can you believe his latest dumb idea? I can’t stop talking about it!”
Trump: “I am rethinking my dumb idea.”
Press: “Good! Give us another one to talk about please.”
This is the reality TV show.
Heck yeah - we are at 129,943 donors and will clear 130,000 donors later today! Next stop September and October DNC debates! Thank you #YangGang - you all are making history and changing what is possible in our country. We will give a special shoutout to donor #130,000. 😀👍🇺🇸
THEY said
Smoking is ok
Meat is evil
Cholesterol is bad
Wholegrains are good
Salt is bad
Cushioned shoes are good
Saturated fat clogs arteries
Fear the sun
Take statins
Count calories
Most illnesses are hereditary
There’s a drug for that
A calorie is a calorie
THEY were WRONG
For context:
1. I'm a capitalist.
2. I'm an entrepreneur.
3. I'm a type 1 diabetic who depends on insulin for survival.
This chart is what unregulated capitalism looks like.
You can't have free markets without regulation, and there are some things free markets really suck at.
Thanks to funding from @NSERC_CRSNG our work on #HIIT, #Ketones and inflammation lives on for another 5 y! I'm recruiting 2 PhD students to study how HIIT and/or ketosis impacts immune and metabolic function in humans. Experience w immune techniques preferred. Email me. Please RT
RETRACTED - that study that showed Low Carb diets were associated with more heart disease - due to "concerns with data integrity and an undisclosed conflict of interest by the lead author" https://t.co/xZya3TJGzq
Cook with lard - you get the added bonus of vitamin D! Tablespoon of lard from pasture-raised pig = about 1,000 IU vitamin D. (Same amount of Olive Oil or Con-ola = ZERO.) Lard: One of the highest dietary sources of vitamin D + 40% saturated for chemical stability
Recall that the Dietary Guidelines also originate from the United States. Surely they were never designed to protect US agricultural interests? Unthinkable. It's all about good science and better human health (not). https://t.co/YwyuAqUD48
