  • Analysis of 700 plant-based foods finds the 'healthy' alternatives are loaded with salt and fat - and lacking in bone-boosting calcium (only 6.92 years left)

    Plant-based diets are often seen as healthier alternatives to eating meat and dairy - with around one in five adopting the diet for health reasons. The way of eating, which has risen in popularity by at least a third since 2017, can involve anything from ditching meat, to going fully vegan, without eggs, milk or cheese. However, these foods could be loaded with sodium, which could raise blood pressure, packed with obesity-causing saturated fat, and stripped of bone-building calcium, a major analysis suggests. Researchers evaluated more than 700 plant-based foods sold in supermarkets, including burgers, sausages, milk, cheese, and yogurt,...

    High consumption of soybean oil has been linked to obesity and diabetes and potentially autism, Alzheimer’s disease, anxiety, and depression. Add now to this growing list ulcerative colitis, a form of inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, characterized by chronic inflammation of the large intestine. Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, examined the gut of mice that were consistently fed a diet high in soybean oil for up to 24 weeks in the lab. They found beneficial bacteria decreased and harmful bacteria (specifically, adherent invasive Escherichia coli) increased — conditions that can lead to colitis. Soybean oil is the most...

    Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) went after Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on Monday, saying he is not “fit to serve” after he said he would have chosen not to certify the 2020 election results without pro-Trump electors. Vance said Sunday in an ABC “This Week” interview he would have allowed states to send multiple slates of electors to Washington after the 2020 election and “Congress should have fought over it from there,” adding there “were problems” in the 2020 election. “Yesterday, J.D. Vance claimed that Trump could defy rulings of the Supreme Court as President,” Cheney wrote on X, formerly...

    Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) said Monday on MSNBC’s Iowa caucus coverage that the “weakness” of former President Donald Trump was shown in his 30-plus point win. Pritzker said, “Almost half of the base of the Republican Party showing up for this caucus tonight voted against Donald Trump. Think about that. I mean, this is the most famous Republican. He’s the guy who, you know, basically built the modern Republican Party, the MAGA Republican Party that the Democrats are running against. Half of the people in that party did not vote for Donald Trump.” He continued, “I think that is telling....
  • The protein that dials up 'good' fat production has been discovered

    New Atlas ^ | January 09, 2024 | By Bronwyn Thompson
    In a major breakthrough, scientists have identified a rather elusive protein involved in the production of ‘good’ fat, brown fat, and found it can even boost the formation of these cells in white fat. Understanding how to ‘switch on’ the creation of this type of energy-burning cell opens the door to novel weight-loss treatments that have eluded researchers to date. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is essential for producing heat from blood sugar and fat molecules, through a process called thermogenesis. It also requires a lot of energy (or calories) to fuel this. Unfortunately, by the time we reach adulthood, most...

    Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is in the 2024 presidential race to stay. Just ask him. In a new ad released digitally on Thursday, the 61-year-old directly responded to recent calls for him to withdraw and clear the field for a more popular alternative to former President Donald Trump. “Some people say I should drop out of this race. Really? I’m the only one saying Donald Trump is a liar,” Christie said, looking directly at the camera. The White House hopeful — who has focused his long-shot campaign on New Hampshire — will go on air Friday in the...

Leonid Andreev, 60, weighed more than three baby elephants and had been trapped in his own home for five years. The 44-stone man was found at home in the village of Armizonskoye, Russia, only a day day after he told local media how he was planning a new life of losing weight and moving apartments.

    Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), now a CNN contributor, said Monday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that former President Donald Trump was “scared to death” to debate his Republican primary rival, former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ). Kinzinger said, “If he was the incumbent running for reelection— you know if this was 2020, like I get that, but he lost. He lost for the Republicans, the presidency. The Republicans have done nothing but lose since Donald Trump, and so I think if he’s gonna ask for their vote he needs to come in front of them again and explain why this...

    Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he plans to stay in the Republican primary race through next summer’s nominating convention, dismissing a recent CNN poll that shows him trailing former President Donald Trump and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in New Hampshire — a state he’s invested heavily in winning. n an interview with ABC News, Christie said his campaign will “focus most of our time and energy” on New Hampshire for the time being, but “our next two focuses … will be South Carolina and Michigan.” Christie also called out Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for...

    Chris Christie partly blamed his onetime friend Donald Trump for the spike in antisemitism and Islamophobia across the country. The former New Jersey governor posited that Trump’s language has emboldened others to act hatefully. “When you show intolerance towards everyone, which is what he does, you give permission as a leader for others to have their intolerance come out,” Christie told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. “And that’s been going on for quite some time, not just with Donald Trump, but with university professors on some of our most elite campuses in this country.”

    Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie lashed out at a crowd for booing at Florida’s GOP Freedom Summit, claiming their “anger against the truth is reprehensible.”After beginning his speech, the Republican presidential hopeful tried to speak, but was quickly met by jeers and boos from the crowd, demanding he get off the stage.Since running for office, Christie has been a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump unlike a majority of the Republican presidential field. As a result, MAGA supporters often berate Christie during public events and GOP conferences.Instead of allowing the crowd to continue to berate him, he quickly...

He was ordered to pay legal fees and fines totaling thousands of Swiss francs (dollars) in addition to the time behind bars.

    In 2019, on a trip to the Bahamas with my mom and sister, my flight turned into an uncomfortable ordeal. My seat belt wasn’t long enough to fasten, and a fellow passenger's visceral reaction added to my discomfort. I repeatedly asked the flight attendant for a seat belt extender and was ignored until takeoff, leaving me feeling disregarded and disrespected.And this wasn’t the first time I’ve dealt with this particular kind of travel stress. I went to Paris in 2014, and found the city cramped and unwelcoming. Narrow staircases, tiny chairs, and compact showers were just the beginning. Throughout my...

    U.S. — According to sources, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will announce his candidacy for president next week. Already, several political analysts are predicting that he will eat the competition's lunch. "Make no mistake, every Republican candidate in this race is in danger of having his or her lunch eaten by Chris Christie," said statistician Nate Silver. "He will also eat their breakfast, their dinner, and any snacks they may have lying around. No candidate is safe." Christie's campaign team is touting him as a well-rounded politician with very wide appeal who will address the heavy issues Americans are...
  • Bacterial fragments from leaky gut help drive obesity, study shows (Fat dysfunction is reversible)

    05/25/2023 4:22:01 PM PDT · by ConservativeMind · 18 replies
    Scientists found that microbe fragments called endotoxin enter the blood stream and directly impact how well fat cells function, including their capacity to be metabolically active. The normal gut contains microorganisms that have essential roles in human health. In obesity, however, the wall of the gut can become impaired and leaky, allowing release of these bacterial fragments into the blood, where they go on to travel through the body to different tissues. Dysfunctional body fat is known to contribute to metabolic disease, including type 2 diabetes. Using a series of experiments they found that fat cells are significantly damaged by...
