Just 100 years ago: Most dairy products were consumed raw. Most honey was unprocessed. Seed oils were not commonly used. Genetically modified (GMO) foods did not exist. PFAS chemicals had not yet been developed. Synthetic food dyes were not in widespread use. Plant-based meat alternatives did not exist. High-fructose corn syrup had not been invented. Autoimmune diseases, heart disease, cancer, and obesity were far less common than they are today. Do you see what is happening?

Unfortunately you will be seeing these cases pop up like whac-a-moles from here on out, because we currently do not have the number of sterile flies produced to stop this Only a matter of time until it leaves Texas and spills into other states

The American Heart Association mourns the passing of the legendary cardiologist Eugene Braunwald, M.D., widely recognized as one of the most influential figures in the history of cardiovascular medicine. Over seven decades, his work reshaped the understanding and treatment of heart disease, leading many to call him the father of modern cardiology. Braunwald was a lifelong contributor to the American Heart Association, helping advance its research and scientific mission, and was honored with some of the Association’s highest honors for his lasting influence on cardiovascular care and research. His influence extended well beyond his own discoveries, as generations of Association‑supported investigators, clinicians and academic leaders were trained by Braunwald or guided by the clinical trial standards and mentorship models he helped establish. newsroom.heart.org/news/amer…

Trump: "If we didn't hit within 2 weeks, they would've had a nuclear weapon. When crazy people have nuclear weapons bad things happen."

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at @USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

BREAKING: Representative Ro Khanna has introduced the Drain the Swamp Act. It will ban White House officials from accepting gifts from lobbyists or becoming lobbyists during the Trump term.

Basic science is inspired by curiosity, accountable to evidence, and subject to peer review. Politics should have no role.
