The modern mistakes of nutrition
1. Blaming sugar for what salt did
2. Blaming sugar for what saturated fat did
3. Blaming inflammation for what LDL did
4. Blaming seed oils for what animal fat did

Industry funding doesn't automatically discredit work, but one needs to be a skeptic of how it influenced it.

If it supports industry & is counter to scientific consensus, be wary

Some good news

Grocery sales of plant-based in Germany is almost 2x from 2018 to 2020, from $424M to $835M

Youth leading the way. 12.7% of 15-29 year olds in Germany now identify as veg or vegan - 2x the rate of the rest of the country.

Soy is the most widely grown crop in the world. What's driving continued growth and what are the environmental impacts?

A thread on the connections between soy, land use change, livestock feed, and ways forward. New report by @FCRNetwork:

This week I cover studies on ultra-processed food consumption and mortality risk, fibre and dementia risk, low-carb diets for weight loss, the clinical use of plant-based diets and a dire warning from the latest IPCC report on climate change.

If you're not an expert in something, you should refer to scientific consensus. Period.

We have so much misinformation because social media's business model has amplified, exploited, capitalized off an already abysmal level of scientific literacy & underfunded education systems.

Rich nations could see ‘double climate dividend’ by switching to plant-based foods https://t.co/GJgEDW53VF

[Nicholas D. Carter @NicholasDCarter]

Although shifting farming practices have a role, countless studies, like this one, highlight the higher priority in major dietary shifts towards plant-based diets.

This shift is required to limit warming to less than a 2°C increase since pre-industrial times.

Yes, plant-based meat is better for the planet https://t.co/wGqh29I7Ag via @voxdotcom

[Nicholas D. Carter @NicholasDCarter]

Agreements to "phase-down" and be "net zero by 2050" are not progress. These are delay tactics to continue business as usual.

Progress would be actually telling the truth about the urgency of the ecological crisis and implementing the transformational solutions.

In the hypothetical "no animal product" scenario, we'd see a ~28% reduction in global GHGs across all sectors (Poore & Nemecek, 2018).

It'd likely be higher too, as I've previously stated, if GWP20 was used (as it should be): https://t.co/IzqkDamHgC
