Had such a great time meeting so many #craftchocolate makers last weekend w/ FCIA workshop, busting myths about #cadmium & #lead toxicity from #chocolate & #cocoa. Headlines often get WAY ahead of #science & #evidence.#Factivism #makeminefine ow.ly/ccsy50P0y90

Props to Cami Ryan, PhD for telling the 100% truth. There are 100+ SOUND safety studies on #aspartame, supported by regulatory bodies all over the world. IARC: please move on. ow.ly/jP1n50P0zHS ow.ly/nSVa50P0zHR

"Nutrition coach" has no formal definition & no national credentialing. No college degree is required. Not stating educational background, training, academic degree & national credentialing is a #redflag. #Stand4Science x.com/FoodFirst_Ty/s…

Excellent article. Gets right to the point & shows exactly why #credible #evidence & #criticalthinking, not trends & politics, should be driving policy re: #sustainable & #healthy #diets. #Stand4Science #Factivism ow.ly/WfAe50P77X1

JECFA reaffirms #aspartame's safety: the right call. Huge body of credible evidence, safety supported by global health authorities for decades. IARC’s statement? Perplexing. Contradicts all credible evidence of major food safety authorities. More: ow.ly/zleT50Pc4p1

YES. And too many who think they ought not to make a profit would cringe if anyone messed with their 4 wks PAID vacation. Need a paycheck every 2 wks? Farmers get paid once a year. Thank them for their service. x.com/drdairy50/stat…

I hope the US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee considers THIS evidence when making dietary protein recommendations for older Americans. Evidence is clear & strong: more protein in older years helps improve muscle function w/ aging & prevent muscle loss.

Nutr sci doesn't "flip-flop" -- it's dynamic, always evolving. Positions need updating in the face of credible evidence: Seems that #saturatedfat works best as a #matrix in its whole-food origins: #milk, #yogurt, #cheese. #Factivism x.com/drdairy50/stat…

Dairy calves are cute - but animal welfare is top of mind. There's a lot that goes into ensuring they grow up healthy and strong. The greatest discovery, as noted in this article, is that more milk makes... more milk! zurl.co/ConV

Get on the "borax train" & you must have reached peak stupidity. Nutrition tip: Never eat detergent. Better yet, do something only 5% of people do: get enough #fruits & #vegetables. Your gut will like them way more than detergent. x.com/CaulfieldTim/s…

Here's an idea: Think of sweeteners as just a tool for reducing added sugar? Also to help #diabetics & #prediabetics manage blood glucose levels? Placing the burden of weight loss on 1 thing suggests obesity is caused by only 1 thing. Huge mistake. ow.ly/Xr1a50PpbM7

Nutritionally, plant-based milks don't compare to #realmilk. Just EAT the whole #oats, #almonds, #rice, etc. b/c a #dairy ALTERNATIVE is not a #dairy EQUIVALENT. And that's OK. Those foods have their own assets. Dairy replacement isn't 1 of them. x.com/drdairy50/stat…

Notable: Price-wise, #skimmedmilk, #wholemilk & #orangejuice are WAY more economical than the oral hydration solution, carry a LOT more nutrients, & are available everywhere -- & more effective hydrators than the "sportsdrink". ow.ly/JoLM50PpiHg

True, and this is underappreciated.Low and no-calorie sweeteners aren't about some wt loss panacea. They never were. They're a tool for anyone who wants or needs to reduce intake of added sugars. As w/ all tools, if used wisely, they are helpful. x.com/CalorieControl…

Spot on! This is what Ag Science is all about & why #farmers need & deserve access to the best technology. #Factivism #haveaplant x.com/thefarmbabe/st…

It's unconscionable that a NY state senator is on the state Ag committee & allowing his personal philosophy to drive his decisions that would impact all New Yorkers. As such, he's incapable of critical thinking, thus, incapable of being objective. #Factivism

Agree. People want less #pesticide use, but don't want #GMO, which uses far less pesticide. #Organic can't produce enough to feed the world, & if we went all organic, who wouldn't eat? Who would DECIDE who wouldn't eat? Listen to 130+ Nobel Laureates: supportprecisionagriculture.org/nobel-laureate…
