A California nutritionist who routinely extols supplements, fad diets, and alternatives to medicine is prominently covered by corporate media for claiming food diaries using twins shows that vegan diets are healthier.

Yet it is so full of confounders that even IARC epidemiologists would have to ask awkward questions about his conclusion using that methodology.

In 2000, 2016, and 2020, a political party declared that the electoral college needed to go - because they lost. 

What they don't realize is that despite how state results appear in their favor, they are not. If it was a direct vote, a candidate would win with 26% of the electorate, parties would be irrelevant, and the victor would be the candidate with the most aggressive position on a hot-button issue, abortion, guns, whatever. The rest of us would have to live with it.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration asked dietary grifters Evig LLC, of St. George Utah, and the company’s CEO, Douglas Lex Howard, as well as Premium Production LLC, of St. George, Utah, and its Manager, Ryan Petersen, to stop selling "Balance of Naure" supplements because they are lying when they claim they can diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent diseases such as cancer, heart disease, cirrhosis, diabetes, asthma, and COVID-19

The hucksters refused to comply, and even continues to promote their products even though they knew they were adulterated and unsafe for use. Now a federal court has ordered them shut down.

Currently, if you are worried you might have chlamydia or gonorrhea, you had to have a sample collected at your doctor's office, and in states like California that could mean waiting months for an appointment.

FDA has now granted marketing authorization for the Simple 2 Test, which will be available over-the-counter and is the first non-HIV sexually transmitted disease test with at-home vaginal swabs or urine specimens.

An advocacy group claims one third of all Americans is "at risk" for diabetes.

That isn't true. Even at the a1c level CDC oddly expresses concern about, fewer than 5 percent of people will go on to develop diabetes - in their lifetime. That is not clinically relevant and if it is not clinically relevant it is as pointless and shamanistic as a doctor telling every patient to eat less salt. It may help a few people but most will just be annoyed by bland food.

Obesity is overwhelmingly the cause of type 2 diabetes but claiming everyone overweight has the same "increased risk" is not just bad science, it is even bad epidemiology - and in modern times that field basically exists to scare people about supernatural levels of chemicals or help write miracle food books.
