plagiarize much?
“Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says his “Make America Healthy Again” Commission reportharnesses “gold-standard” science, citing more than 500 studies and other sources to back up its claims. Those citations, though, are rife with errors, from broken links to misstated conclusions.
Seven of the cited sources don’t appear to exist at all.”
If these allegations are proven, this is intellectual fraud and gross malfeasance and HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy should resign.
So right now they’re just allegations, and you’re not really citing a source? So basically you just did the very thing…. OK never mind.
The source is hypertexted in my post as is the full text of the MAHA report so you can check the claim yourself if you’re actually interested.
I am quoting directly from the paper I am citing numbnuts
It is likley that a proportion of what he says might be correct.
But any claims about the source of the (ahem!) science cannot be trusted from any one associated with the Trump Regime.
He’s right about unnecceassry food colouring and the wrongful demonisation of saturated fat.
What is given free to American school children is a recipe for T2 Diabetes and the rates in children are rocketting.
IN PRACTICE. His department is probably going to use this as an excuse to cut all food aid to poor schools.
I’ve seen graphs from reliable sources which verify this image.
Anyone seeing that ought to acknowledge that things have gone VERY wrong with the US health system..
Sadly in practice this is probably going to be used to denigrate Medicare and Medicade in principle rather than attack the practice of predatory insurance and the actual real fall in health in the USA because of bad food.
An incomplete reference is no reference at all.
All the information you would have needed to follow it up was there..
Now I hope you will follow this up since I’ve gone to the trouble to dig it out..
JACC. 2020 Aug, 76 (7) 844–857
Here are two citations from Kennedy’s MAHA report:
Shah, M. B., et al. (2008). Direct-to-consumer advertising and the rise in ADHD medication use among children. Pediatrics, 122(5), e1055- e1060.
Findling, R. L., et al. (2009). Direct-to-consumer advertising of psychotropic medications for youth: A growing concern. Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, 19(5), 487-492.
According to the NOTUS article, those articles don’t appear in the table of contents for the journals listed in their citations. A spokesperson for Virginia Commonwealth University, where psychiatric researcher Robert L. Findling currently teaches, confirmed to NOTUS that he never authored such an article. The author of the first study doesn’t appear to be a real ADHD researcher at all — at least, not one with a Google Scholar profile.
In another section titled, “American Children are on Too Much Medicine – A Recent and Emerging Crisis,” the report claims that 25% to 40% of mild cases of asthma are overprescribed. But searching Google for the exact title of the paper it cites to back up that figure — “Overprescribing of oral corticosteroids for children with asthma” — leads to only one result: the MAHA report.”
Are we surprised that the current regime is making a mess of things.
As I was saying earlier, the Health Care system needs urgent reform, and certainly support for the war against UPF, and the resultant litany of bad health outcomes from eating that stuff is urgently needed.
Sadly the people who have been working for decades toward such goals (and facing a brick wall made of corporate lobbyists) , as changing the food guidlines, are now faced with this twat who could be mobilised to make progress, but run the risk of their projects being tainted by association.
We went through this earlier.
It is only artificial trans fats which are unhealthy.
Two type of trans fat, trans fatty acids
In the previous article, we already discussed the differences between trans fats and cis fats. Trans fats contain one or more trans double bonds. Their structure and properties are more similar to saturated fats. Depending on whether they are biosynthesized, they are classified into natural trans fats (ruminant trans fats), and artificial trans fats (industrial trans fats). The trans fatty acids in natural fats are called rTFAs, and those in artificial fats are called iTFAs. Both types of trans fats are present in the daily diet where ruminant trans fats account for minority and majority is industrial trans fats.
Industrial trans fats primarily come from industrial production. When the double bonds are destroyed by high temperatures or catalysts, they will reform again, if there’re not enough hydrogen atoms. However, this time they tend to become the trans configuration because of their lower free energy. The partial hydrogenation and heating of edible oils (frying, refining and baking) are all the reasons for artificial trans fatty acids. Meanwhile, natural trans fatty acids come from microbial fermentation of linoleic acid in ruminant animal guts.
They aren’t a pure substance but a mixture of various fats. Whichever trans fats they are, fatty acids with 18 carbon atoms are dominant. 80-90% trans fatty acids are monoenoic acids that have only one double bond, and the rest are trans fatty acids that contain two double bonds. The double bond location is different on monoenoic acid. It’s on the ninth carbon in industrial trans fatty acids, while in natural trans fatty acids, double bond is on the eleventh carbon.
No. It’s also an excess of Omega-6 too.
Omega-6 fats can be unhealthy in excess because they promote inflammation when not balanced with omega-3s. Chronic inflammation is linked to heart disease, obesity, and other health issues.

yes but i meant only only in context of the trans fat thing
F’ing hell. So you are saying that the only bad fat in the context of trans fat is trans fat??
Have a word with yourself!!!
Wow. Are you done making an arse of yourself?
I just quoted a scientific article and explained to you how there are different types of trans fats
But you do not understand what is going on.
man its like you can never admit you lost an argument. A boy who is still got the middle school attitude.
You are dumb.
It’s like swimming through treacle.
You said trans fats are the only problematic oils.
I responded to tell you that excesses of polyunsaturated omega-6 though essential were also a problem in quantity.
You lost your hist over that.
You are still wrong.
You do not understand the significance of trans fats, which are characterised by double bonds.
No trans fat is good, but the only reason they tend to be harmless in nature is NOT because they are different in KIND, but different in QUANTITY.
Now run along
ah here we have the manchild again who cannot understand or play by the rules.
Like the beast who cannot lose at a board game because he simply swipes all the pieces off the board and declares himself the victor.
i explained what i meant by the trans fat thing and yet you go on and on…
