If you're interested in a career in nutrition, and come from a low-income or otherwise disadvantaged background, hit me up via DM.
Note that I may not end up having any wise words! But I'd like to chip in and help peeps who wouldn't otherwise get a ton of help (as time allows).
I found another AI-generated garbage diagram in a scientific journal.
It’s entirely gibberish and features anatomically incorrect limbs with too many bones.

I've tried to call customer service around a dozen times, for up to an hour at a time. There's been no response at all. How do I get in touch with customer service?
This is pretty crazy, and every online review in the past year says the same thing.
@hmsahawaii Furthermore, submitting an online request leads to a five-business-day wait time to get a reply. And many people can't go to the in-person customer service center, which is frankly an archaic option in 2024.
@hmsahawaii This has been going on since last July, so I hope the HMSA leadership is aware that this is the worst waiting time of any insurance company and reviews are dismal (I used to work at BCBSA).
The 2022 HMSA profit is listed in the tens of millions, which indicates help is possible.
@hmsahawaii Examples from the web:
"They can't answer their phones And the average time is 2 to 3 hours, once for three hours and one minute before giving up. Their email intake does not work."
"Waited 3 hrs multiple times for hours to speak with a rep no returned calls"
I’m excited to share our latest work investigating the effect of a ketogenic and vegan diet on the human immune system, microbiome, and metabolism from @BelkaidLab. Many thanks to @KevinH_PhD for the great collaboration! https://t.co/NLPtRXh3Py
Wow! Elmo is glad he asked! Elmo learned that it is important to ask a friend how they are doing. Elmo will check in again soon, friends! Elmo loves you.❤️ #EmotionalWellBeing
But this is why we do trials, folks. The breaking news (sorry) is that the rate of fracture, while low in both arms, was significantly higher in the testosterone arm. 3.5% vs. 2.5% absolute risk (40% relative risk increase).
These scenarios really pain me. I think its incredibly unfair to not have access to life changing treatments in a world that has access to so much. I wish I could personally help EVERY SINGLE PERSON not to have to go through that, I wish healthcare was equitable everywhere 3/
Adult ER visit due to supplement reactions are most commonly from weight loss and energy supplements.
These supplements were linked to 25.5% and 10% of ER visits in the US from 2004–2013.
Admission symptoms suggest stimulants often responsible.
