β€œPsychologically, [Trump's] deteriorating. He’s getting worse. He’s dangerous. He’s a nut job. He’s a criminal. He’s a malicious human being who has no conscience, no morals, no remorse, no empathy. And he controls 5,000 nuclear weapons.”

The Problem With β€œNatural” Products How to notice when a single word is replacing evidence without you noticing.

The belief that β€œnatural” is better than β€œunnatural” is common, but it’s simply not true. People tend to romanticise nature, thinking that because something is natural, it must be healthier, safer, or better. But this idea doesn’t hold up to reality.

What RFK Jr.’s CDC Doesn’t Want You to Know The CDC is withholding critical information about vaccine-preventable diseases from the American public. Why?

The CDC isn’t protecting us anymore. Will anyone be he’d accountable for the flu deaths and measles cases?

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

Foege, whose leadership and vision helped define modern public health. From smallpox eradication to his lifelong advocacy for equity and prevention, he showed us that the greatest successes are often invisible.His words capture a profound truth: When public health works, nothing dramatic happens, and that is its strength. No outbreaks. No emergencies. Just healthier lives and stronger communities. As we remember Bill, we recommit to the work he believed in, protecting communities, reducing inequities, and strengthening public health at home and across the world.πŸ”—: https://news.uga.edu/william-foege-speech/Follow βœ… @profkevinfenton for daily public health insights that cut through the noise.

Column | I’m an oncologist. Here’s what the science says about cancer and supplements. Most dietary supplements are not harmful. Some, however, should be treated with caution when it comes to cancer, especially in certain populations of people.
