According to the EU: "Food reformulation policies for healthier food and beverage products are considered among the most cost-effective actions to reduce unhealthy diet." Research on UPF suggests they're wrong. Lipstick on a pig? ... it's still a pig. publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/h...

More hype about Blue Zones while admitting that in Hong Kong they live even longer. Their high-stress, fast-paced urban environment with very high per-capita meat consumption doesn't correlate! Depending on your source, Japanese women live longer too - on average. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Why can't the NHS say this plainly? Type 2 Diabetes is a disease of carbohydrate sensitivity and intolerance. Just as someone with lactose intolerance manages their condition by avoiding dairy, people with carbohydrate intolerance should reduce their intake of sugars & starches.

A successsful ageing society should be measured by how it collectively shoulders the burden of dependency and also, how well it extends the years of independence and wellness. If Burnham is serious about social care, that is the long-term question be ask. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Odd that the Economist writes: "Though whole milk contains more saturated fat, alternatives often have more sugar"... as if the saturated fat represents a problem. If anything, it represents a health benefit, so please catch up with the times. @economist.com pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

2/2 They wrote: a major cardiac event could be prevented for every 37 older adults over 6 years; yet this was not true for strokes or death. Statins did reduce heart attacks by about 12 events/1,000 people but roughly one for every 80–85 people. Statins can be important but why oversel the results?

I still find it very difficult to believe that the President of the United States posts or reposts images like this on his social media channels. So I checked and I double-checked and; it's true. Extraordinary. There really is a deep psychological, maybe sociopathic gap between his mind and reality.
