Partially SupportedEating foods recognizable to great-grandparents would substantially improve population health.

Partially SupportedSlowing down, taking stock of how one feels, and consistently monitoring biomarkers can help individuals determine their optimal diet.

Well SupportedThe number of prescriptions written by physicians in the United States doubled from 2.4 billion ten years ago to 5.4 billion last year.

Partially SupportedUltra-processed foods contribute to negative health outcomes such as obesity, unhappiness, sickness, and irritability.

Partially SupportedIn 1910, all dietary fat was animal fat, and rates of heart disease, chronic disease, and diabetes were very low.

Partially SupportedThe FDA's GRAS list includes over 10,000 additives and chemicals in foods that have not been fully vetted for safety.

Partially SupportedLineage Provisions offers a creatine supplement that is 99.99% pure, tested for impurities, and contains added sea salt to aid absorption.

Partially SupportedHeart and Soil's 'Whole Package' supplement may offer benefits beyond hormones and nutrients through microRNAs or peptides.

Partially SupportedA significant percentage of children are overweight or obese, and a chronic disease epidemic exists among children.

Partially SupportedThe increased prevalence of obesity leads to significant national costs and cellular malfunction.

Partially SupportedPeople are experiencing chronic illness, such as obesity, in their 30s and 40s, indicating a decline in healthspan.

Partially SupportedThe safety of radiofrequency EMF from devices like AirPods has not been established through human randomized controlled trials.

Partially SupportedInvestigating the causes of childhood chronic disease and taking action should be a priority, potentially including addressing EMF and radiation from cell phones.

Partially Supported0.5% of a child's brain today is microplastic.

Partially SupportedThere is a lack of human randomized controlled studies proving that crude oil derivatives in food are harmful or cause neurodevelopmental issues.

Partially SupportedHealthcare spending and communication should focus on addressing the root causes of illness, such as light exposure, sleep, movement, and stress.

Partially SupportedThe population was significantly healthier 150 years ago, with lower rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, depression, and dementia.

Partially SupportedThe LA Veterans Trial showed a significant increase in cancer rates in the seed oil group.

Partially SupportedArtificial light, smartphone use, disrupted sleep, frequent travel, chronic stress, and sedentary behavior can negatively impact health.

Partially SupportedFood companies in the US can voluntarily add chemicals to food and are only required to prove harm retroactively.

Partially SupportedIndustry can fund studies through the NIH to support biased conclusions, such as cereal being healthier than beef.

Partially SupportedUnregulated chemicals in ultra-processed foods cause significant issues to cellular health and the microbiome.

Partially SupportedThe food pyramid was an ultra-processed food marketing document influenced by lobbying efforts.

Not SupportedCancer rates have increased, and the focus is on management rather than cures.

Not SupportedOzempic should not be the first-line therapy for a 12-year-old who is obese.

Partially SupportedFatigue and general sluggishness are common reasons people seek medical attention.

Partially SupportedApproximately 65% of people in the United States have a chronic condition.

Partially SupportedFast food could be made healthier using regeneratively raised, grass-fed beef, real cheese, sourdough buns, natural ketchup, and raw milk.

Partially SupportedThe standard of care should not be first-line Ozempic.

Partially SupportedMaking GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic affordable for all Americans would be a significant step in the right direction.

Partially SupportedThe American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends Ozempic as a first-line therapy for children who are obese.

Partially SupportedThe role of the microbiome in hormone regulation is not yet fully understood.

Partially SupportedPolyunsaturated fats may cause more cardiovascular disease and potentially more cancer long-term than saturated fats.

Partially SupportedExposure to toxins like glyphosate and pesticides can negatively impact metabolic health.

Partially SupportedThe burden of proof should be on demonstrating that eating crude oil derivatives is safe before they are added to the food supply.

Partially SupportedAmericans live approximately 10 years less than people in Switzerland or Japan.

Partially SupportedCurrent healthcare spending on chronic diseases has not led to an increase in life expectancy and may be negatively impacting it.

Partially SupportedSeed oils, which are industrial lubricants, are being questioned without sufficient scientific rigor.

Partially SupportedRandomized controlled trials on seed oils are lacking, with historical studies potentially confounded by trans fats.

Partially SupportedFood colorings are derived from crude oil and have no essential reason for inclusion in food.

Partially SupportedStudying the effects of seed oils is a better investment than current food R&D spending.

Partially Supported10,000 chemicals are present in American food that are not allowed in other countries.

Partially SupportedRegenerative farming can achieve higher output per acre than conventional farming, but has higher labor costs.

Partially SupportedThe creation of seed oils involves undesirable substances like bleach.

Partially SupportedHistorical figures like George Washington and Ben Franklin lived into their 70s and 80s, challenging the claim that people lived shorter lives 150 years ago.
