This explains the bizarre recommendation from the AAP to use Ozempic in kids when it’s not even f***ing approved
Over 30% of the “experts” who created the American Academy of Pediatrics guidance recommending Ozempic as a first-line defense for 12-year-olds were being paid by @novonordisk or @EliLillyandCo
While trying to write a Substack post about nutrition journalism I came upon these two stories from the Washington Post, a decade apart. They say pretty much all you need to say about the nature of the daily press (i.e., telling time by the second hand).

New paper obesity not a lack of excersise but too much ultra processed food Pretty much as most of us thought 👍

Great article by the brilliant @lowcarbGP
My article in The Daily Mail today highlights how a low carb diet reduces appetite & increases GLP-1 hormone naturally instead of the jabs Also showcases @DoctorTro paper His patients lost as much weight low carb as people paying for Wegovy 👍 dailymail.co.uk/health/article……
Really, this is just ridiculous.
The average American sees 9 drug ads every day — one in four TV ad minutes. As a result, two-third of Americans take prescriptions. Even 40% of twenty-somethings. And one in four children. The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most corrupt in the country. Is it time for us…

If you're going to eat bread it's probably better to do it in Europe for this and other reasons. Why is American food so unhealthy?
