Unsavory Truth: How Food Companies Skew the Science of What We Eat. In that book, I review research on the “funding effect,” the strong correlations between who pays for food and nutrition research and its outcome. Industry-funded research tends to produce results favorable to the funder’s interests (otherwise it wouldn’t be funded). But recipients of […]
Source: Food Inflation: The Price Spikes of Beef, Coffee, Eggs, and Dairy – https://wolfstreet.com/2025/10/24/food-inflation-the-price-spikes-of-beef-coffee-eggs-and-dairy/ I decided I would try to collect data online from the largest supermarkets in the country, and I pretty soon realized that the numbers I was getting were two or three times higher than the official numbers for inflation. Alberto Cavallo, […]
Over the study period, 1,131 cases of type 2 diabetes were identified among the 108,723 participants.

Very interesting to read about different countries’ approaches
I’m in the process of reading about the Covid-19 response in France. It’s horrifying and I’ll likely not link to the article.
I’ll be very interested to read this. I have not heard anything at this point about the response in France.

Holy shit, I thought things were bad here. That is unbelievable! Euthanizing the old folks.
It just makes me sick how politics are involved everywhere. From suppressing it to begin with in China to France to here… Lived are at stake.
I had not read about the zinc sulfate. I had read about hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. Have you been reading about this experimental treatment? A friend of mine sent me some zinc capsules. I put them on the shelf, but maybe I should start taking them? I wonder if Zinc could work as a preventive? Is it one of those things where maybe it can’t hurt?
She sent me a text today and wants to send me a capsule with some sort of mushrooms. I was going to do some research on that. She’s very much into Health foods and supplements. I have to be careful since I’m on a blood thinner. Have you ever heard of mushrooms enhancing immunity? I eat some almost every day and a salad, but not that many. Maybe two or three.
If we consume anything as preventative we need to consume a near plant based diet. Think Mediterranean diet. Lots of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, etc. Feed your immune system with food. Fish is fine but not here in Oklahoma!
