This is SO amazing (nerd alert)

I do respect your extensive expertise 😄

There's a very nice book called "The Dorito Effect: The Surprising New Truth About Food and Flavor". It doesn't mention the NOVA classification (because it was not all the rage in 2016), and it if focused on flavoring. It is a very nice read 😊

The NOVA classification is, indeed, just a heuristic. But, for the sake of argument,which of those chips are you likely to overeat? Both are equally unhealthy, of course, but the reason one is associated with worse health outcomes has to do with flavoring. Not because they are "dangerous chemicals"

A direita brasileira tem agora uma oportunidade *única* de imitar a direita europeia e criar um CORDÃO SANITÁRIO para isolar o extremismo golpista.

Não precisa ser petista nem esquerdista. Mas não pode vender o país e rastejar pra salvar Grande Líder.

Editorial do Estadão:

Excelente novamente. O Estadão (insuspeito de ser "comunista") sacou que não haverá outra chance melhor de a direita se descolar de vez do bolsonarismo. Vestir-se de verde e amarelo não torna ninguém patriota, como ficou claro nos últimos dias.

Editorial do Estadão de hoje 👏👏👏👏

The key issue with putting contrarians in power is that their platform is entirely based on arguing against the mainstream.

Mainstream public health makes mistakes, but on the aggregate it's pretty solid and evidence-based. If you throw out everything mainstream, you're left with a lot of nonsense.

2 new studies on weight loss
1. Sustained reduction during midlife improved survival and reduced chronic diseases jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
2. A randomized trial found patient-to-patient care was more effective than professional for weight loss and less CV risk jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

12. Fica a lição: por enquanto, Grok e outras IAs, quando usados para data scraping, tem fornecido dados bem pouco confiáveis e justificativas que não condizem com os fatos. IA deveria ser usada como muleta, jamais como perna.

Nos últimos meses, o uso de IA para corroborar a veracidade de alguma informação ou solicitado dados quantitativos aumentou de forma impressionante em mídias sociais – o que pode parecer bom, mas é preocupante, como vou mostrar com exemplos reais. 🧵

E eis que, finalmente, o veranico de maio se foi.

The chances that a viral health trend is at least two of:

1. Ineffective
2. Harmful
3. Expensive

Is close to 100%. The worst reason to do something for your health is that it's briefly popular on Instagram/Tiktok.

As outras estações que me perdoem, mas o outono é fundamental

I have no interest in defending Prasad, but I think it's worth noting that the U.S.'s position on childhood immunization against COVID-19 is out of step with international guidelines. In Australia, children under 18 are only eligible for COVID-19 vaccines if they are seriously immunocompromised.

Cool new paper from colleagues showing that diabetes rates are a substantial underestimate in Australia and we're probably missing at least 30% of cases (if not more).

Dankeschön, ebenfalls 😊

My latest on Medscape covers a recently published study that both traditional media and social media reported as being proof that Splenda increases hunger (and of course as a consequence, increases weight). Sounds scary. Unless you actually read the paper 🧵

Como de hábito, é tudo hype

If you're keeping track of the long list of things this admin's done that flies in the face of MAHA, censoring and ultimately losing the top intramural nutrition scientist studying food processing and health is definitely towards the top.

After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology.

Boa oportunidade para a Embraer
