#Babyformula recalled for #botulism.
Protect your baby from tainted formula:
1. BF as much as you can. If you can't BF, donor milk from the milk bank is 2nd best.
2. Use liquid concentrate or RTF formula.
3. If you have to use powder, boil water, let it cool, add formula

It's outrageous that Spotify is running ICE ads. Moving to another streaming platform that doesn't profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE is hard. So is getting deported. #CancelSpotify

I had to watch this for work. What our citizens went through for the right to vote... it infuriates me when people don't appreciate it & don't vote. Now our voting process will be overseen by the Trump Admin. Exercise your voting & free speech rights or lose them. #vote

#foodrecall Hormel recalled almost 5 million pounds of skinless, boneless chicken breasts & thighs due to metal found in it. It came off the conveyor belt.

Based on 3 studies I read today, to lower CVD risk without pharmaceuticals:
1. Walk >15 mins at a time
2. Sleep in total darkness
3. Finish eating before 9:30pm for the night.
Doing the opposite of these is associated with increased heart disease & stroke risk.

Agreed. As an RD I support the use of GLP-1s, but it really is a matter of changing the food system, marketing, regulations, & educating through public health outlets /getting insurance to pay RDs to get to the root of the problem. I agree that health should be priority as @profgalloway.com says.
