The Truth about RFK Jr

There was a study I saw years ago that claimed to show that using an electric razor caused leukemia, except the way they presented their data, it actually indicated that leukemia caused electric razor use.
(It showed the rate of electric razor use among leukemia patients, not the rate of leukemia among electric razor users.)

There's a wonderful web site called https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations with a bunch of these graphs. I haven't dug down far enough to see if the leukemia and razors correlation is there, but there are others at least as silly, some of the surprisingly close.

e.t.a. on each example there is a link to an AI generated explanation. Don't miss these!

Enlighten me as to how HFCS is chemically different to fructose obtained from other sources.

It's not, but other sources generally aren't fructose, they are sucrose. And while sucrose is a disaccharide of fructose and glucose, it is certainly not the same as HFCS, or even a 50/50 mixture of fructose and glucose.

Ultimately, sucrose will metabolize into glucose and fructose, so calorically they are comparable, but they have differences in things like satiation due to differences in interactions with taste buds.

For those things that are sources of fructose, HFCS is different because it contains glucose.

Sucrose is a single disaccharide, HFCS is a mixture. Those are not the same, nor necessarily similar.

The sugar content of high fructose corn syrup (roughly half fructose and half glucose), which is unhealthy and bad for you, is very similar to the sugars in honey which we all know is a miracle food and general all round good thing.

Perhaps they should market HFCS as artificial honey?

If they added honey to food products at the same volume as they added HFCS, no doubt honey would be a big bad health boogie-man too. The reason they don't is that HFCS is a government-subsidized industry, whereas honey is not. Honey is shipped in tanker-loads. HFCS is shipped in literal boat-loads.

I am surprised by this, because then it should be OK for my wife to eat. We have stayed clear of it because of the name “high fructose”. Why is it then called “high fructose” if it has no higher level than, say sucrose, when it is digested?

You also say it is similar to honey, and I can say that honey is a killer for my wife. You hardly need a drop f it before she gets stomach pains.

It's high fructose because it's higher in fructose than corn syrup would otherwise be. It makes no representation as to its absolute level of fructose.

Like low fat versions of other types of food.

Thanks, we didn’t know that.
 
At SBM Jonathan Howard wrote, "In one recent interview, Dr. Marty Makary, flanked by the Food Babe(!), twice refused to answer “YES!” when asked if parents should vaccinate their children against measles. In the video below, he said the bare minimum about the MMR. However, while saying “we have to be honest,” he minimized children dying of measles with the same noxious myths he used with COVID. He said only vulnerable children are at risk of measles, he ignored its non-fatal outcomes, and absurdly implied parents are not given any choice regarding vaccines. He said that measles outbreaks are not unusual."

The Food Babe is still a thing?
 
US at tipping point for return of endemic measles

At current U.S. childhood vaccination rates, measles could return to spreading regularly at high levels, with an estimated 851,300 cases over the next 25 years, computer models used by the researchers suggest.

If rates of vaccination with the measles-mumps-rubella, or MMR, shot were to decline by 10%, an estimated 11.1 million cases of measles would result over 25 years, according to a report of the study in JAMA.

Hundreds or possibly thousands of people will die from a disease we eradicated over twenty years ago.

Good job Trump voters, you stupid ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊.

RFK Jr. saying even crazier things than I knew. Apparently he thinks the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918 was (a) not a virus, and (b) caused by vaccines. Also, (c) even Fauci agrees with (a).
