A dear friend decided to make sculptures out of garbage and of course he was mostly ignored. And then this happened. Oh my God.

Hahaha, we posted an interview of the amazing Chef AJ, and this comment landed on my channel: 'Why are we spending billions to build a nuclear fusion reactor when there is already a Chef AJ who could literally power and save the world?' 😅 CHEF AJ

I'm fascinated with the divide over protein reqs w/ longevity scientists recommending less than muscle-oriented scientists do. I'd love to hear critiques of this new paper associating lower protein in context of healthy diet with lower breast cancer:

A group of scientists who are far above my pay grade wrt food production, created a film for the 5th Global Food Security Conference. 👏 Thank God for researchers who devote their careers to this. They asked me to narrate it; it was the least I could do.

Earth scientist here; for decades we've been accused of exaggerating climate change. It looks like it's time to accuse us of underestimating it. Headline: 'Simply mind-boggling world record temperature jump in Antarctic...'

I hate litigation but the beef industry has had this coming for >20 years: New York is suing the world’s biggest meat company. It might be a tipping point for greenwashing.

I sent Christopher a draft, then sat on pins & needles waiting to hear what I got wrong. Fortunately, there were only a few nits so I was spared more days of correcting my mistakes. 😁

I stayed off social media for 3 weeks to make this episode. Gah, my episodes take so long to make... 🫤 But I thought it was important—and fascinating to me. 😮

I gave a talk to an EXCEPTIONALLY bright group of students at Cambridge. We should all be grateful for people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, because they are the ones who will.

When I see plant-based athletes thrive, I often think of Dr. Bikman’s famous claim: attempting to get protein from plants is a fool’s errand. Is that claim passing the test of time?

So glad climate scientist Michael Mann won his defamation lawsuit. I'm tired of leading climate and nutrition scientists getting smeared.
If Ancel Keys were alive, he could probably win against Gary Taubes and Nina Teicholz no?

This is an extraordinary talk. 👏 The situation in climate science is exactly parallel to the situation in nutrition with one exception: nutrition scientists are far less savvy about industry influence than climate scientists.

I'm fascinated with how Dr. Greger went from seriously boring and poorly-produced videos 12 years ago to filling theaters of fans seeking selfies and autographs. So I crashed one of his parties to investigate.

Bought this rare book, published in 1910. The big problem in nutrition then was same as now:

To scientists who made discoveries, all credit is due; but they are so busy making them, they have little time to inform the public, leaving that to less informed persons.

TEDx Boston has asked me to organize a longevity day October 1st (Intl longevity day!). Mulling the program. Who is respected by scientists AND able to speak to the masses whom you think should be on the program?

Takeaways from Stanford Medicine's Healthy Aging Day:

1. Exercise snacking all day > 30 minutes in the gym
2. Moderate protein: .8g/day under 65, 1g over
3. Plant dominant diets
4. Step counters good; sleep trackers (Oura) bunk
5. Ornish Alzheimer's reversal study promising

Attending this at Stanford in a couple of days. Some interesting participants, like Longo. Anyone else going?

True confession: professor Deirdre Tobias, ScD has been a scientific heroine of mine for a long time. I feel like I just attended her class, nervously wondered what my grade on the final would be, and danced when I finally saw it. 🕺 I so wanted to do justice to Xiao and his paper.

When Harvard published their latest paper linking red meat and diabetes, ~100 headlines exploded around the world. All positive. 😮

Plus ~20 YouTubes & 4 blogs, all super negative. 🤬

I investigated. 🧐

Two masters of headline-grabbing studies separated by 50 years and different diet tribes...😮 I wanted to be a fly on the wall for THAT conversation. Nick Norwitz PhD & Dr. Willett let me roll my cameras. 🎥
