Better them than the corn refiners and cereal makers.

The new dietary guidelines with grains at the bottom of the pyramid is a HUGE step in the right direction, correcting mistakes that have been damaging the health of Americans for generations. It's regrettable that RFK & Trump are taking credit.

a video game called journey with a blue face ALT: a video game called journey with a blue face

Can we agree to never use the word "journey" except in the context of travel? I'm tired of it.

Cauliflower crust pizza is supposedly low carb right? 39 grams only two of which are fiber. 😩

Surely the people organizing the the employee health fair at the local hospital are offering up some nutritious treats...or not.

CAC > 300 is equivalent to prior ASCVD for risk of future cardiovascular events.

One could consider treating someone with CAC > 300 as SECONDARY prevention, not primary prevention.

Similar risk = similar therapies.

MOHA? Make Ozempic Here Again

That's bucked up.

Last year, because many patients were raving about her, I started her book, and found nothing offensive or original...at least the 20% I got to. I could've written it.

11 yrs. When is this "unsustainable" thing supposed to kick in?
