>68% of American adults have obesity, defined as excess fat rather than BMI (a novel approach) in The Lancet Thanks to @AKoutnik for this paper. By contrast, the most recent CDC data says the rate is 40%, which is lower than the 42.3% it reports in 2018--hard to believe. How…

I saw this coming. Responsibility for obesity etc. is too diffuse to blame any one product/company.

The CDC's most recently published adult obesity rate is from 2018, at 42.4%. That was 7 years ago. What do you think it is now? And why has CDC not published an update? (At least that I can find--let me know if you can dig up a more recent CDC number). 🔗 below.

New study--a good example of why the term "ultra-processed foods" (UPF) is not helpful. (Also--a lesson on why you always need to read beyond the study abstract) In this trial on 42 men, a high-UPF diet led to more weight gain than when they were on an unprocessed food diet (each diet lasted 3 weeks). But what can we conclude? The UPF diet was higher in "saturated fat, cholesterol, refined grains, added sugars, and dairy products and lower amounts of fiber." So what caused the weight gain? The dairy, the grains, the sugar, or the fat? This study can't tell you. The study abstract also says that on the UPF diet "Sperm quality trended toward impairment, with a decrease in total motility," but

Because the campaign against eating beef is not going so well, now we see some pushback on using products from beef, like tallow face cream. We are "evangelists," going "woo woo for moo moo."

Hey people, did you know that the EAT Lancet 2.0 diet will be coming out in early October? Stay tuned for the multi-million dollar campaign on how we should all eat a diet of 1.5oz of meat a day. They're preparing, already, with a story on how all our genuine grassroots opposition to the first EAT-Lancet, by dieticians, doctors, and nutrition experts, was "actually" a PR campaign, according to a document "seen" by a website called DeSmog--as reported in The Guardian. This unverified story will likely be used to smear any effort to criticize EAT-Lancet's next nutrient- and protein-deficient diet. Heads up!

There is no limit on how much added sugar schools can serve your child at lunch. Let that sink in. While federal dietary guidelines recommend no more than 10% of calories from added sugar, the National School Lunch Program ignores this rule entirely. So even as we say we care about child health, our policy actively contradicts the science.
