January is just around the corner and diets and detoxes are already in full advertising mode. A good rule to follow with influencers and internet personalities: if they're trying to sell you something, don't take health advice from them. www.acsh.org/news/2025/12...

The American College of Lifestyle Medicine recently published a position paper about the ways that Lifestyle Medicine can revolutionize healthcare. Unfortunately, it's heavy on claims and light on evidence. www.acsh.org/news/2025/12...

There's been a lot of talk about using RCTs to test absolutely every question. RCTs are extremely powerful and important. However, they cannot tell us everything and are often not the best study design for the specific question we want answered. www.acsh.org/news/2025/12...

@joho.bsky.social's newest book is a public service. We've been witness to revisionist history in the last 5 years in general, and around the pandemic in particular. redhawkpublications.com/Everyone-Els...

This week Makary claimed AIDS, Lyme, and COVID came from a lab based on movies and books. Inmates running the asylum.

David Beckham and a slew of fancy sounding experts have thrown their names behind a new supplement. Thrown in a very glitzy marketing campaign and you have...just another supplement. There's nothing special about it aside from the price tag. www.acsh.org/news/2025/11...

The selective outrage over generally recognized as safe (GRAS) is yet another example of MAHA prioritizing vibes and money over health. www.acsh.org/news/2025/11...

The HPV vaccine is one of the best tools we have for preventing certain types of cancer. It's highly effective and safe. It's a no-brainer. Talk to your doctor about the HPV vaccine. www.acsh.org/news/2025/11...

What should researchers do about "junk science"? @drkatiesuleta.bsky.social has spent the past 15 months trying to have a flawed autism case study retracted -- revealing how junk science continues to persist in the scientific record. Read the #OpEd: www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

I've been keeping tabs on a terrible study for over a year and corresponding with the publishing journal. Getting a bad article retracted is a lot of work. Read more about my journey in @medpagetoday.com. Thanks to @gfriedman.bsky.social! www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco..

My cover story for SI.

The speakers for the 50th Anniversary CSICON have been announced and I am so excited to be included. I hope to see you there! csiconference.org#Speakers

There's often talk about becoming "siloed", i.e. '..just communicating w/like minded people' ...if you're a DIETITIAN whose content do you share/pay attn to that's NOT a dietitian? How about: @caulfieldtim.bsky.social @jonathanjarry.bsky.social @jonathanstea.bsky.social @drkatiesuleta.bsky.social

RFK Jr is convinced he knows what causes autism. That's not how science works. www.acsh.org/news/2025/10...

I was interviewed about the attacks on public health and where we go from here by Scott Douglas Jacobsen for The Good Men Project. goodmenproject.com/featured-con...

Read the original. Read the sequel. @joho.bsky.social is doing the important work.

The sequel to We Want Them Infected is done! COVID killed 1.2 million Americans while vaccines saved millions. Yet, disinformation superspreaders were empowered, where they are taking a wrecking ball to science & medicine. How did that happen?🧵 sciencebasedmedicine.org/everyone-els...

Bogus board certifications are everywhere. Don't fall for the hype. www.acsh.org/news/2025/09...

My comments about MAHA for La Presse. www.lapresse.ca/internationa...

Expect to see more grifters popping up in the stem cell space in the coming years. www.acsh.org/news/2025/09...

PSA: go get your COVID and flu shots (and anything else you might be behind on)! Fire RFK Jr. Vaxxed to the maxx.

Another win for death and disease. Good luck, friends in Florida.

Just because you use the phrase "Gold Standard Science" doesn't mean it's not hot garbage. www.acsh.org/news/2025/09...

Prasad and the like are in charge of our health, scientific research, and policy decisions. Having a record of what these people said during a pandemic is relevant to us all. Thanks @joho.bsky.social for keeping the receipts. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The best thing RFK Jr could possibly do is GTFO. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...

The latest issue of Skeptical Inquirer is dedicated to fighting back.

"When the public is convinced that all "Bigs" are malicious, it's easy for a new set of "trusted" messengers to step in and monetize that disillusionment. The grift, as it turns out, was never just a byproduct of their work; it was the entire point."" www.acsh.org/news/2025/08...

Attacking science wasn't enough. Now they are coming for education. What creating new ideologically guided accreditation bodies will mean for our healthcare. www.acsh.org/news/2025/07...

I've been thinking a lot about moral injury and what has been happening to our public health infrastructure and workforce. Thanks to @medpagetoday.bsky.social for allowing me the paltform to discuss this issue. www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

MAHA wants you to believe they have your health and best interest at heart, but nothing could be further from the truth. They are out to make money at the expense of your health and well-being. www.acsh.org/news/2025/07...

@jonfavs.bsky.social if you are looking for a network of science communicators working tirelessly to cover the damage RFK Jr is doing, HMU. There are sooooo many of us!

RFK Jr. insists that physicians-in-training should receive more nutrition education or he will pull federal funding from training programs like medical schools and residencies. He fundamentally misunderstands the healthcare system, providers, and the physician shortage. www.acsh.org/news/2025/06...

Very, very obviously MAHA ain't interested in tackling chronic disease. BS "science" & political grandstanding ain't a health strategy. Dismantling CDC’s chronic disease center ‘looks pretty devastating’ to public health experts www.statnews.com/2025/06/04/c... via @statnews.com

Amid fears that PubMed could disappear, some are taking action -- just not in the U.S. @drkatiesuleta.bsky.social @hildabast.bsky.social @kuf.bsky.social www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

"We're in this mess because we've seen the damage that one government hostile to science and medical progress can do." -- @drkatiesuleta.bsky.social reacting to Germany's plan to establish a global alternative to #PubMed. www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

On the off chance that you did not think that Andrew Huberman was a complete dipshit as well as as a hopelessly self-indulgent blatherer, boy do I have a podcast for you.

My work on health coaching was featured in an issue of the Consumer Health Digest. quackwatch.org/ncahf/digest...

This month's bonus episode is about the rise of the lab leak theory from an unfounded theory promoted by right-wing cranks to an unfounded theory promoted by prominent liberal journalists.

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

I was interviewed on the World Discord Podcast about the dismantling of USAID and the implications for global health. world-discord-podcast.simplecast.com/episodes/epi...

I conducted research on the growing field of health coaching. Given the elevation of unqualified people into positions of power, especially in healthcare, we need to be paying attention to this field. We need policies and regulations to help keep people safe. www.acsh.org/news/2025/05...

MAHA has been demonizing seed oils. I dive into how junk science is helping them make their case. www.acsh.org/news/2025/05...
