The Fake Science of Sugar

How #fat and #cholesterol were substituted for sugar and turned #Americans into an #unhealthy #herd of waddling #land-whales.

A doctor explains how the groundwork for the #FoodPyramid #nonsense and the encouragement to reduce #fat consumption and increase #carbohydrate #consumption of the 1990s was laid by the #corruption of #scientistry in the 1960s.

In 1967, a single scientific study revealed the true #culprit of the #diabetes and #heart-disease #epidemic was #sugar. NOT saturated fat or cholesterol. So why wasn’t this information made common knowledge? They covered it all up. The sugar industry knew the results of these studies would tank sales and cost them billions. So the #SugarResearchFoundation paid three #Harvard #scientists $65,000 each to “prove” sugar was harmless. The scientists were some of the most respected nutrition experts in the world. Dr. #FrederickStare was the chairman of Harvard’s Department of Nutrition. Dr. #MarkHegsted was a scientific advisor for the USDA. Dr. #RobertGandy was a pioneer in dietary research.

The scientists dismissed multiple long-term studies. The first study proved sugar caused deadly #arterial #plaques. This was ignored. Another showed heart disease skyrocketed on a #high-carb #diet. The scientists dismissed it, claiming “these diets are rarely consumed.” The consequences of this scientific manipulation are horrifying. The truth about sugar and its effects on obesity, diabetes, and heart disease remained in the dark for years. Well-meaning doctors prescribed their patients #low-fat, high-carb diets for decades. These #dietary suggestions are to blame for the #obesity #crisis in America.

The #USDA urged Americans to trade #butter for #margarine. Margarine is now accepted as an artery-clogging #poison. And another massive shift was to “healthy” low-fat foods loaded with hidden sugars. As a result, U.S sugar consumption tripled. So did #BigSugar profits. And not surprisingly, so did type 2 diabetes and blood sugar issues. In 1980, only 1 in 50 Americans had a blood sugar problem. Today, that number is up to 1 in 3. High blood sugar kills roughly 3.2 million people per year.

In other words, as with #immigration and #third-world #overpopulation, the seeds of the castastrophic crises we are experiencing across the West were planted in a very small period of time between 1960 and 1967.

During the mid-20th century, Borlaug led the introduction of these high-yielding varieties combined with modern agricultural production techniques to Mexico, Pakistan, and India. As a result, Mexico became a net exporter of wheat by 1963. Between 1965 and 1970, wheat yields nearly doubled in Pakistan and India, greatly improving the food security in those nations. These collective increases in yield have been labeled the Green Revolution, and Borlaug is often credited with saving over a billion people worldwide from starvation. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 in recognition of his contributions to world peace through increasing food supply.

Add the names of Frederick Stare, Mark Hegsted, and Robert Gandy to the infamous list that includes #NormanBorlaug, #PhilipHart, and #EmmanuelCellar of men whose objectives and actions contributed the most to the downfall of the West and its transformation into #ClownWorld.

#Crisis in Hungarian #politics is exposing #Orbán’s vulnerabilities. Will it sway undecided voters?

Katalin #Novák resigned after it was revealed she had pardoned a man convicted of helping cover up a sex abuse case at a children’s home.

...

Adding fuel to the fire, Péter #Magyar, Varga’s ex-husband and a figure with close links to the #government, broke ranks and publicly accused senior figures within the Fidesz system of hiding behind Novák and Varga, while taking aim at a part of the regime he described as working just to make itself rich.

The Mexican side of the border crisis - UnHerd

#politics #USA #border #crisis

Looking down on Shelby Park, you can see what a small section of border it represents. Whatever Abbott has achieved here is no gamechanger. Tackett says that seeing the border for himself shows how much both sides distort the issue for their bases. “It’s very clearly a dog and pony show to drive donations,” he says. “There is a corrupted incentive structure from the conservative side of the house not to fix the problem either… The migrants themselves are the currency.”

Having spent two decades covering America’s southern border with Mexico, it’s hard to disagree with him. Forces deep within their political and economic systems lack the will or ability to solve an overwhelming problem, yet know fully well how it can be deployed to make hay on the airwaves. The result isn’t just a setting for hope and tragedy — but a stage for political theatre.

i tend mention only 3 of these (or 4 with an unmentioned* one) when trying raise awareness in brief.

Top 15 (manufactured?) Crisis for the masses to accept the pushed "New Normal" aka 'Agenda2030':

  1. (Fake) "Pandemic Crisis" ... Covid19 IFR = 0,15% worldwide (not "3%")
  2. Fake Russia Gate "Crisis" (debunked so so many times).
  3. Fake January 6 "Insurrection Crisis"(FBI involvement!).
  4. "2021 Suez Canal Obstruction Crisis"
  5. "Cyber Attacks Crisis" prelude to (temporary) internet shutdowns decimating even more middle-class business? Then pushing for mandatory Bio-metric ID to access the internet?
  6. "Electric Power Shutdowns Crisis"
  7. "Climate Crisis"
  8. "Hyperinflation Crisis"
  9. "Food Shortage Crisis"
  10. "Critical Race Theory Crisis"
  11. China-USA Crisis (more info here).
  12. Possible Fake Alien Invasion Crisis
  13. Water Wars Crisis (mass droughts created through geoengineering aerosols injections of all kinds).
  14. Border Crisis & Mass Immigration in USA/Europe Crisis
  15. The Rise of (alleged) "Fake News" Crisis (leading to even more corporate & government pushed censorship directives & new unconstitutional EU-laws).
  16. New Advanced Potential Dangerous Asteroids "Warning System" (just couple fake "near miss" warnings could be enough to push even more draconian NWO Agenda 2030 measures).

* nuclear.

Who Gets the #Water in #California? Whoever Gets There First.

source: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/12/14/climate/california-water-crisis-drought.html

The heart of it is that many of the area’s farms and irrigation districts have been drawing from the Delta’s braided channels for well over a century, before the state even had a water board. This gives them extraordinary privilege in California’s seniority-based system: When there isn’t enough water to go around, they get first dibs. And for a long time, a lot of them didn’t have to provide the state with many details about how much water they actually used.

...

For decades, ranches and farms have been slurping the Shasta and Scott down to small fractions of their natural flows in dry years. Migrations of Chinook and coho salmon have plummeted, harming the Native American communities whose diet and culture center on the fish.

Who Gets the Water in California? Whoever Gets There First.

As the world warms, the state is re-examining claims to its water that have gone unchallenged for generations.

The United States before the 2024 #election

Many are asking me before the US elections in 2024 why Donald #Trump might win the presidency again - despite numerous scandals, his announcement to use the presidency for political retaliation and shocking eye witness accounts from this #administration.

But what is the answer and would Trump's re-election as #president be the end of #democracy?

#StephenFry on How to use #AI as a force for good

source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZfS8uk70Zc

How can the coming flood of technological progress, which will not stop at current developments such as big data-based and algorithmically generated statistical models with their astonishing capabilities and failures - i.e. current #AI systems - but lead to a further acceleration of innovation with increasing technological performance in computing? Today, we are thinking about an epistemic #crisis of world #knowledge in times of #deepfakes, #surveillance and bioweapons through AI, while brain-computer interfaces and quantum computers are already appearing on the horizon today. At the same time, #climate #change is probably the most outstanding of all crises, which has already been showing its first effects for several years and is setting new records with constantly rising #emissions. In short, how can we ensure that the coming real-life version of what is commonly referred to as "Singularity" turns out for the good of #humanity?

This week, #Moody’s, the international ratings agency, downgraded its outlook for China’s #credit #rating from “stable” to “negative”, while maintaining the country’s A1 credit rating for now. The agency expressed concern about the weakening economic outlook and rising #debt capacity problems.
