I am Yale educated writer who is obsessed with the evils of carbs. My friends no longer want to hear it, so I am reduced to twittering to strangers. Sigh.

Someone nominated me to reform the US Dietary Guidelines for Americans. I have dedicated the last 10y of my life to this issue, and it would be an enormous honor to serve. To vote, go here:

@Ericthomasbtc "at the end of your feelings is nothing, but behind every principle is a promise"--this is a profound thought. Thank you ET!
.@USDA @HHSGov We need #DietaryGuidelines not just for healthy people. Evidence shows those w/ underlying conditions, including obesity and diabetes were more at risk for severe complications from COVID. #DelayTheDGA until it provides options for ALL Americans.

Americans deserve nutrition policy that will ensure the health and wellbeing of every individual. #DelayTheDGA until the expert committee has adequate time to examine ALL the science. @USDA @HHSGov @HouseAgDems @HouseAgGOP @SenateAgGOP @SenateAg
Please help spread the word!
Only 2 days until #DietaryGuidelines committee releases its expert report. TAKE ACTION NOW!
Join us in calling for a delay to ensure a thorough investigation of a flawed process—many problems cited by committee member(s) who’ve blown the whistle.

More cool analysis courtesy @drjamesdinic . Grateful for his insights--please check them out, and reclaim some sense of control/agency over your health in a science-supported way.
Just as our paper predicted ie that alpha-lipoic acid may work against COVID we now have a pre-print of a RCT showing that alpha lipoic acid at 1,200 mg/day IV cut the mortality in critically ill COVID-19 patients IN HALF medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Our paper sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Agreed--compelling, personal, well-written, and thought-provoking. Thanks for putting it out there, and best of luck to you!
Any evidence/hunches that quinine (in tonic water) might prevent/blunt covid? Would love informed insight.
