Really happy I discovered this place. Thank you all for jumpstarting it!

hahaha, truth! Put the filters everywhere. All the places. Make it mandatory. Factor it into restaurant health scores.

OR, 0.57; 95% CI: 0.32-1.04 🥲

I’m so surprised that there aren’t more and bigger studies on this. I understand that collecting data is expensive etc etc. BUT I think the public health implications would be huge. If their effects are even just close to an OR = 0.5, just put them everywhere pls 🙏

+1 !

Also, if anyone has this for AI + Healthcare folks, I'd love to see it!!
