@peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social welcome to a friendly place

I had a hypothesis that vitamin D prevents cancer. I worked on this for > 10 years, had 3 NIH-funded grants, and published >30 papers on this topic. Based on our work and that of my esteemed colleagues, I concluded that the evidence does not support the hypothesis.

RFK Jr., we are not the same.

@jessg.bsky.social happy birthday to one of my favorites-

Texas measles outbreak now at 400 cases and 41 hospitalizations.
It was at 327 cases 3 days ago. Unclear how many of the hospitalizations are due to Vitamin A liver toxicity, as promoted by RFK Jr. The number of actual cases surely exceeds 1,000 at this point

Optimal dietary patterns for healthy aging - Nature Medicine In two longitudinal cohorts followed for 30 years, the associations of eight different dietary patterns with healthy aging—encompassing cognitive, physical and mental health—were studied, identifying ...

Bottom line: A Mediterranean type diet high in fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, whole grains, low fat dairy products, plant-based foods, and reduced sodium, trans fats, animal-based foods, sugary beverages, ultra- processed foods was the optimal pattern. Link nature.com/articles/s41...

@romanmars.bsky.social listened to Power Broker on audiobooks because of your pod - now going back and listening to the pod! Thank you

It’s silly and the “research” is pretty poor - but he doesn’t know research just anecdotes

I always thought Wallace Shawn had the ideal career: you get to be this well-regarded highbrow playwright and art house movie maker

AND you also get to be a part of millions of people‘s childhoods by being in Clueless, the Princess Bride, and Toy Story. What a life.

In a large, real word study of Paxlovid in Canada, the benefit, w/r to reducing hospitalizations and deaths, in people age 65-74 and vaccinated, was much less than expected

Now the cdc cannot talk to the WHO - they thought censorship of social media was fact checking and now they are stopping communication that gets rid of our early warning system and interdiction of pathogens

Ah - I shall and substack

I miss TikTok- what will I do with the extra time?

Increased resilience and a regime shift reversal through repeat mass coral bleaching Assessing coral reefs across the inner Seychelles islands, using a 28-year dataset, we document faster coral recovery from the 2016 than the 1998 marine heatwave events. Further, a reef that had regi....

Still hope for coral reefs. Using 28-years of data in Seychelles, we find reefs recovering 4-5 years faster from the 2016 bleaching event, than they did after 1998. Also, a reef that had regime-shifted to macroalgae for over 15 years, is recovering to coral.

Trump Picks Dr. Janette Nesheiwat to Be Surgeon General Dr. Janette Nesheiwat is a medical director for a chain of urgent care clinics. Her sister served as an adviser in the first Trump administration.

Looks like our new Surgeon General believes you can boost your immune system with supplements. Awesome. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/23/u...

Almost like they are ashamed to be a chiropractor

Suspending infection/drug research for 8 years is insane. We've had a recent viral pandemic, tropical diseases expanding into the United States (vivax malaria, dengue), antibiotic-resistant organisms, H5N1 is an ongoing issue along with MPOX. RFK Jr is not a serious person.

@drjonl.bsky.social ah here you are

Tell me how valid evolution is to what we eat today when we have a few human fossils but we have better data with the Mediterranean diet? I'll wait- it's an appeal to nature fallacy

It was a great dinner
