Uncovering how official data hides the truth about what we eat—and how it affects our health.
The public deserves honest nutrition science. But far too often, the truth gets buried under layers of vague terminology, misleading averages, and conveniently omitted definitions. In this section, we expose how government agencies, academic researchers, and media outlets manipulate data to protect industry interests and manufacture consensus around misleading narratives. Whether it’s a missing definition like “discretionary oils” or a chart that glosses over the explosion in seed oil consumption, we decode the deception and bring the real numbers to light.
Most nutrition experts claim that the majority of evidence shows seed oils are healthy. But that evidence is not real. Most nutrition experts overlook, or make excuses for, the selective use of flawed, self-reported dietary data that makes seed oils appear beneficial.
New study examines how different fats affect fat cells. Reporters and scientists hide the data on seed oil harms. I’m often asked, “If seed oils are so harmful, why aren’t there more studies?” The truth is, there are more studies. The problem isn’t a lack of evidence. It’s how that evidence gets distorted. Study authors, universities, and media outlets seem to work together to downplay the risks, putting a spin on the results that makes seed oils look harmless, or even healthy. This article is a perfect example of how that happens. A new study is making headlines for suggesting…
JAMA Internal Medicine published the first-ever study comparing butter to seed oils. But they skewed the data to the point of absurdity. Time and again, I’ve seen supposedly peer-reviewed studies making conclusions that defy common sense. Especially seed oil studies. This latest journal is one of the worst examples I’ve come across. I’m going to break down what they did and how they got away with it in this article. Their paper is especially important. It’s the first, to my knowledge, to compare seed oils head to head with butter. More than 70 years have passed since health authorities started…
If you’re a health professional you should know that you can’t implicitly trust medical news outlets. They may be manipulating you!
You might think salt makes you bloated. It’s actually something else. We hear all the time that salt is bad for us. So my patients who notice swelling or bloating after eating salty junk food naturally assume salt caused their symptoms. But of all the ingredients in junk food, salt is the least likely to cause health problems. I grew up surrounded by messaging that salt was bad but I was always skeptical. Probably because my dad, a doctor, always snatched up the shaker and doused his food in salt before even tasting it. He’s done that his whole life,…
Shanna Swain, author of Countdown, makes some shocking claims about human genitalia and the future of the human race. She focuses on persistent environmental toxins, but there’s a more powerful factor that reproductive endocrinologists like Swain know little to nothing about.
The company I work for, ABC Fine Wine and Spirits, takes employee health seriously. We also take personal liberties very seriously and have never required employees to get flu shots. I was asked to review the pros and cons of flu shots and present this information to the ABC Family.

Why do African Americans die from COVID at roughly twice the rate of whites? The mainstream media pundits won’t bring up anything immediately actionable by a single individual.
4 Minute Read In case you missed it, last week I spoke to Bill Maher on HBO’s Real Time to impeach the poster boy of the junk food/pharmaceutical-industrial complex—seed oils (aka vegetable oils). I also threw down a challenge: If anyone in America has been diligently avoiding vegetable oils for five years and got hit so hard by COVID they needed ICU care (and does not have a known immune deficiency disease or chronic infection), let me know. [Link to full 60 minute audio on stitcher] It’s been over a week now, and…. So far,…
