THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory and UConn Health have successfully discovered a molecular switch that can actually SHUT DOWN cancer growth signals and STOP tumor growth at the RNA LEVEL. The discovery could pave the way for a groundbreaking RNA-based multi-cancer treatment. 🧪🧵⬇️

99.4% of new drugs approved by the FDA are the product of NIH funded research.
Remember this every time you see another headline on the NIH funding cuts.
It will directly impact YOU.

Could gut bacteria be the reason behind your sugar cravings? 🤤

Check out this new paper by Zhang et al. linking a gut microbe, a free fatty acid receptor, and sugar intake.

Bacteroides vulgatus, a gut bacterium, promotes GLP-1 secretion through its metabolite, pantothenate, inhibiting sugar preference in mice.

I joke with my other celiac pals about the “gluten-free tax,” the extra we have to pay for gluten free versions of staples like pasta or bread

But Girl Scouts don’t charge a gluten-free tax, their gluten-free cookies are the same price as the rest, making them some of the cheapest GF cookies around

I'm alive because of Medicaid.

A great many people I love have no option other than Medicaid, there is no other payor that'll keep them alive.

If this is your job but your ego, your wonk cred, matters more to you than effectively communicating about Medicaid, we're going to have a problem.

I just had curry chicken with potatoes in the sauce, rice and peas, and plantains, and all I can think about is how happy the carbs in my cultural foods make me. Truly the best and highly recommend.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Always ask yourself:

“What evidence would convince me that I’m wrong?”

If the answer is, “nothing,” then you are not adhering to the rules of science or logic.

No one is hiding natural cures for cancer, Mel Gibson & Joe Rogan.

Science takes nature & improves it. That’s true for cancer medicines, including:

Etoposide? From natural podophyllotoxin.
Docetaxel? From natural paclitaxel.

Cancer pseudoscience costs people their lives.

Girl, you and I are in the same boat! I've struggled for years to manage my weight while rejecting diet culture and risk triggering an old ED.

This book is by an excellent nutritionist @thenutritiontea.bsky.social. I definitely recommend giving her a follow and checking out her book.

You got this!
