American Healthcare continues to go backward

The only problem with that internet story is that unlike trans-fats most seed oils, canola especially, are always shown to have health benefits relative to the lard and tallow he is advocating every time it is studied. And, no, not all studies are oil industry sponsored.
They have told a great and believable story. They just haven't given very good evidence for their story. At least not that I have seen, and this is a question I get asked all the time.
I know. I'm not advocating his story. I just thought it was interesting.
My rule of thumb has always been the more viscous the fat is at room temperature the less bad it is for you. Not 100% accurate but when you compare stuff like canola to coconut (which was supposed to be a superfood at one time) it can be true.
And yeah, I get asked the question all the time too, though I am far more likely to get asked what is worse for their blood sugar.
I think it was you that was talking about how artificially sweetened drinks drive appetite to make up the calorie deficit that the brain perceives from the drink, so you end up eating more and making up the calories. I talk to patients about that all the time, using the example of the person at the fast food counter ordering a double bacon cheeseburger, large fry and diet cola. But then, liquid sugars have the worst impact on blood sugar, so unsweetened drinks are best.

Bash: "It's the worst measles outbreak since measles was declared eradicated more than three decades ago. Is this a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines?"
Dr. Oz: "I don't believe so…Sec. Kennedy has been at the very front of this."
Bash: "Oh, come on…You talked about RFK Jr., the group Children's Health Defense that he founded…posted on X 'Despite the media's scare tactics, there's no reason to fear measles.' Should people fear measles?"
Dr. Oz: "Oh, for sure."

Before the measles vaccine was introduced in the United States in 1963, measles was very common and caused substantial illness and death. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates from the pre-vaccine era:Bash: "It's the worst measles outbreak since measles was declared eradicated more than three decades ago.

- About 3 to 4 million Americans were infected annually, since virtually all children contracted measles by age 15.
- Of those infections, around 400 to 500 people died each year from measles-related complications such as pneumonia or encephalitis.
So, in the last measles epidemic before routine vaccination, the mortality rate among those who contracted measles was on the order of ~0.1 %–0.15 %.

I can't see this happening without being watered down to the point of being ineffective, but I guess we will see.....
The Break Up Big Medicine Act addresses these structural conflicts of interest, which allow corporate giants to put profits over the interests of patients, taxpayers, employers, and independent providers. The legislation will:

The Break Up Big Medicine Act addresses these structural conflicts of interest, which allow corporate giants to put profits over the interests of patients, taxpayers, employers, and independent providers. The legislation will:
- Prohibit a parent company from owning a medical provider or management services organization and a PBM or an insurer;
- Prohibit a parent company of a prescription drug or medical device wholesaler from owning a medical provider or management services organization;
- Require that a company violating these conflicts of interest come into compliance within one year of the bill’s enactment;
- Create automatic penalties if a company fails to comply in a timely manner, including disgorgement of profits and forced sales of assets;
- Enable the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Justice (DOJ), state attorneys general, and private parties to bring lawsuits against violators; and
- Allow the FTC and DOJ to review and block future actions that would recreate the conflicts of interest prevented by the bill.
This needs to happen. if this isn't a conflict of interest then I don't know what is.

Strange responses have been given on a new US website encouraging Americans to eat 'real food'.

LOL. He probably did that more from the result of being addicted to dope. It wasn't too gross for him to snort cocaine off of toilet seats. I hope it discourages people from becoming drug addicts.
