    I wish I could take credit for this. I can't. And I don't know who deserves the credit. But thank you, whoever you are. The caption: "Correlation vs. Causality."

    We’ve known since the 19th Century how to reverse type 2 diabetes with diet alone. How and why was this knowledge lost? Why did MDs insist on drug therapy instead? Why do they still? I explain the history & science in my new book, Rethinking Diabetes.

    Nina Teicholz, @bigfatsurprise, is one of the few journalists, if not the only one, investigating nutrition researchers and the web of conflicts of interest entangling their work. This is required reading.

    I was at a Whole Foods last week in suburban NYC. Seems @KerrygoldUSA thinks people want to eat reduced-fat butter. Maybe not their best idea. The space on the left is where regular Kerrygold was sold out. Reduced-fat is on the right.

    Jane Brody seems to think that those of us who ended up on LCHF/ketogenic diets never thought to try portion control first. What were we thinking? If I could find the head-slap emoji, I'd use it here. Instead...☹️
