HEALTH: Which Brands and Sources of Rice Have the Least Arsenic? | NutritionFacts.org

Which Brands and Sources of Rice Have the Least Arsenic? | NutritionFacts.org:

Not all rice producers have been so dismissive, though. After a subsequent Consumer Reports exposé, one rice company detailed “how it is taking matters into its own hands.” Lundberg Farms started testing hundreds of samples of its rice to share the results with the FDA. “We’re committed to providing safe food,” said the CEO, “to really listening to our consumers, and dealing with this problem very openly….” Lundberg Farms isn’t just sharing its results with the FDA, but with everyone.

Sounds like the FDA is in the pocket of Big Rice.

Does Big Rice get federal Gooferment “parity payments”?

If so, I know how to change their behavior.  Don’t you?

Surface Cleaning in Response to COVID-19 is Hygiene Theater

*** begin quote ***

Joseph G. Allen, an associate professor and director of the Healthy Buildings program at Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Charles Haas, professor of environmental engineering at Drexel University and Linsey C. Marr, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech, write in The Washington Post:

We don’t have a single documented case of covid-19 transmission from surfaces. Not one.

So why, then, are we spending a small fortune to deep clean our offices, schools, subways and buses?

Just like the Gooferment, who desires to be seen as “leading”, sends up down a rat hole of wasted effort.

Gooferment is just immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

HEALTH: On the Reaction to Covid-19

Thursday, December 10, 2020

(Don Boudreaux) Tweet Here’s a letter to a new correspondent: Ms. Tolbert: I did indeed see my friend and former colleague Omar Al-Ubaydli’s recent op-ed decrying what he believes to be humanity’s under- estimation of the seriousness of Covid-19.

Source: On the Reaction to Covid-19

*** begin quote ***

as I read the evidence, it tells me three things: (1) lockdowns do not work to reduce Covid deaths; (2) lockdowns fuel other healthproblems, including ones that are fatal; (3) lockdowns create enormous economic hardships for hundreds of millions of people.

*** end quote ***

Yes, it seems that the “experts” don’t know as much about the WuFlu as they proclaim they do.

That’s all right.  Now that Sleepy Joe has stolen the election, we will see if my prediction that Covid disappears in the next 90 days.

Its only purpose was to defeat the “Bad Orange Man” and having done that, it’s no longer need in the narrative.

Argh!

HEALTH: Study disputes the efficacy of masks

Landmark Study Finds Masks Are Ineffective
By Joseph Mercola

December 4, 2020

*** begin quote ***

Our results suggest that the recommendation to wear a surgical mask when outside the home among others did not reduce, at conventional levels of statistical significance, the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in mask wearers in a setting where social distancing and other public health measures were in effect, mask recommendations were not among those measures, and community use of masks was uncommon.”

*** end quote ***

So why does the political caste continue lecture “We, The Sheeple” on masks?

And, why do the sheeple obey?

One step closer to the trains to the camps!

Ideally how much trans fat should we eat a day?

Zero, and the same goes for saturated fat and cholesterol.

Flashback Friday: What’s the “Natural” Human Diet?
Michael Greger M.D. FACLM October 2nd, 2020
What can our nutrient requirements, metabolism, and physiology tell us about what we should be eating?

*** begin quote ***

If there’s one takeaway from our studies of ancestral diets, perhaps it’s that diets based largely on plant foods promote health and longevity.

Wish it was easier to be “plant based”.  After SEVEN DECADES of eating the “Standard American Diet”, it’s hard to change habits.

HEALTH: HCQ, antibiotics, and ZN to treat the WuFlu early

Friday, August 28, 2020

Harvey Risch is a professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine. He is associate editor of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, editor of the International Journal of Cancer, and a member of the board of editors of the American Journal of Epidemiology.

 

*** begin quote ***

As professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health, I have authored over 300 peer-reviewed publications and currently hold senior positions on the editorial boards of several leading journals. I am usually accustomed to advocating for positions within the mainstream of medicine, so have been flummoxed to find that, in the midst of a crisis, I am fighting for a treatment that the data fully support but which, for reasons having nothing to do with a correct understanding of the science, has been pushed to the sidelines. As a result, tens of thousands of patients with COVID-19 are dying unnecessarily. Fortunately, the situation can be reversed easily and quickly.

I am referring, of course, to the medication hydroxychloroquine. When this inexpensive oral medication is given very early in the course of illness, before the virus has had time to multiply beyond control, it has shown to be highly effective, especially when given in combination with the antibiotics azithromycin or doxycycline and the nutritional supplement zinc.

On May 27, I published an article in the American Journal of Epidemiology (AJE) entitled, “Early Outpatient Treatment of Symptomatic, High-Risk COVID-19 Patients that Should be Ramped-Up Immediately as Key to the Pandemic Crisis.” That article, published in the world’s leading epidemiology journal, analyzed five studies, demonstrating clear-cut and significant benefits to treated patients, plus other very large studies that showed the medication safety.

Physicians who have been using these medications in the face of widespread skepticism have been truly heroic. They have done what the science shows is best for their patients, often at great personal risk. I myself know of two doctors who have saved the lives of hundreds of patients with these medications, but are now fighting state medical boards to save their licenses and reputations. The cases against them are completely without scientific merit.

JUST LIKE DJT45 SAID.

Wonder if we’ll hear any apologies?

I doubt it.

This is all about “Orange Man Bad” and to deny him a reelection!

HEALTH: Vitamin D is a cheap and easy way to extend lives?

Flashback Friday: Will You Live Longer if You Take Vitamin D Supplements & How Much Should You Take?
Michael Greger M.D. FACLM  July 31st, 2020 

*** begin quote ***

So, what’s a safe dose that will likely get us to the purported optimal level? 1,000 units a day should get most people up to the target 75 nmol/L (which is 30 ng/mL). But by most people, they mean 50%. To get around 85% of the population up to 75 would require 2,000 a day. 2,000 international units a day would shift the curve from here to here. That way, we can take the average person into the desired range without fear of toxicity. You can take too much vitamin D, but you don’t tend to see problems until blood levels get up around 250, which would take consistent daily doses in excess of 10,000.

I take 5k per day and my blood level in July was … 63.2!

HEALTH: Hydroxychloroquine One More Time, by Paul Craig Roberts – The Unz Review

Thursday, August 6, 2020

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is under attack for two reasons. One is that Trump recommended it based on Dr. Zelenko’s successful cures of his patients in New York. Consequently, Democrats and the presstitutes have allied with Big Pharma and demonized HCQ hoping to use the false claim that it causes heart attacks to discredit Trump and reduce his chance of reelection. The other is that Big Pharma and the public health organizations, such as NIH, CDC, and WHO which have revolving door relationships with Big Pharma and share in the revenues, are desperate to block an effective and inexpensive treatment when they can make billions of dollars on a mandated vaccine and an ineffectual treatment known as Remdesivir.

HEALTH: The Crowding Out Strategy to Eating Healthier

The Crowding Out Strategy to Eating Healthier
Written By Michael Greger M.D. FACLM on July 28th, 2020

*** begin quote ***

In the United States, “if one-half of the U.S. population were to increase fruit and vegetable consumption by one serving each per day, an estimated 20,000 cancer cases might be avoided each year.” That’s 20,000 people who would not have gotten cancer had they been eating their fruits and veggies. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends we “fill half [our] plate with colorful fruits and vegetables,” but less than 10 percent of Americans hit the recommended daily target. Given this sorry state of affairs, should we even bother telling people to strive for “5 a day,” or might just saying “get one more serving than you usually do” end up working better? Researchers thought that “the more realistic ‘just 1 more’ goal would be more effective than the very ambitious ‘5 a day’ goal,” but they were wrong.

*** end quote ***

It seems that changing our diet to avoid cancer is “low hanging fruit”!
