2 DRINKS A DAY DOES NOT SOUND LIKE MUCH.
But researchers estimate that American men drinking 14 drinks a week face a 1 IN 25 lifetime risk of alcohol-related death.
And we still call that "moderate drinking."
There is nothing moderate about that.
What do you think?
AMERICANS' MORNING COFFEE GAINED NEARLY 40% MORE CALORIES IN JUST 15 YEARS.
And people were not even drinking more coffee.
Researchers studied 30,000 Americans between 2003 and 2018.
The biggest contributor is the NON-DAIRY CREAMER.
I did not expect that, I thought it would be the added sugar.
ONLY 7.6%.
That is how many foreign food facilities responsible for 90% of America's produce imports the FDA has inspected since 2009.
I expected the number to be low, but I did not think it was THAT LOW.
We are talking about fruits and vegetables millions of Americans eat RAW.
Scientists scanned the brains of 46 children.
More ultra-processed food was linked to stronger brain responses to food and greater body-fat gain a year later.
As a doctor, I personally see childhood obesity and chronic disease rates skyrocketing.
Findings like this genuinely concern me.
We have normalized teenagers drinking energy drinks before school.
High doses of caffeine can cause a racing heart, anxiety, and poor sleep.
Yet we sell these drinks like they are just another soda.
Why are we treating this as normal?
I stopped watching NFL on Sundays years ago. That’s a lot of hours to spend watching millionaires play a game, while you have non-stop ads in your face.
One of the best decisions I ever made for my mental health.
If you stopped, what are you doing with the free time instead?
You probably would not eat 3 oranges for breakfast.
But you would drink them in a glass without thinking twice.
The problem is, most of the fiber is gone, and that glass contains more sugar than you might expect.
Some orange juice drinks even have added sugar.
I would rather eat the oranges.
44,064 CANS OF FRUIT RECALLED.
Walmart's Great Value fruit cocktail may contain elevated levels of LEAD.
Lead can damage a child's developing brain.
And we are talking about something as simple as canned fruit.
Check your pantry.

I HAVE BEEN A DOCTOR FOR 15 YEARS.
HERE ARE 6 FOODS I WISH EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT.
Some are cheap.
Some look strange.
And one of them might surprise people.
Here is why each deserves more attention. 🧵
5/ GOJI BERRIES
Goji berries have zeaxanthin, a pigment that helps your eyes filter blue light.
Small human studies found that eating them raised this pigment in the retina.
They are most often noted for potassium, iron, copper, phosphorus, and zinc.
Not an eyesight cure.
