So dumb! Who bought WebMD again? Chilling your rice doesn't make it a gut health food. In the study usually cited for this, resistant starch went from 0.64 grams to 1.65 grams per 100 grams of rice after it was chilled for 24 hours and reheated. That's about one extra gram. Cooked white rice has about 28 grams of carbohydrate per 100 grams. Even after chilling, the vast majority of it still breaks down into glucose. The blood sugar response did drop, by about 18% in 15 healthy adults. If you have diabetes or prediabetes, a smaller spike is still a spike. Few doctors will tell you the simplest fix is to skip the rice. The Study and my videos below... – at Tennessee, USA

Butter was never the villain. Sugar just had a better PR team. Cary is right. In 1965 a sugar industry group paid Harvard scientists to write a review on diet and heart disease. The industry set the goal, sent articles to include, and saw drafts. The review ran in the New England Journal of Medicine, blamed fat and cholesterol, and played down sugar. The funding was never disclosed. That's part of how fat became the villain for the next 50 years, and how we got low-fat (high-carb) advice. Butter has essentially zero carbs and barely moves blood sugar. A candy bar is a different story. One of those drives insulin up, and it isn't the butter. Study and my videos below...

Many Americans are trying to make better choices and big-food is actively making this difficult by making the Ingredient List very difficult to read. This would be an easy fix... 1. Increase Font Size Current Regulation: Minimum font size is 1/16 inch (1.6 mm). Recommended Change: Increase the minimum font size to at least 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) or a point size equivalent of 12 points, which aligns with accessibility guidelines for printed materials. Reason: Research shows that many older adults, individuals with presbyopia, and those with low vision struggle with smaller font sizes. Larger fonts improve legibility across demographics. 2. Improve Contrast Requirements Current Regulation: Text must contrast with the background, but no specific standards are defined. Recommended Change: Implement a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1, as per the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) for readability. Reason: A defined contrast standard ensures that text is distinguishable from the background, benefiting individuals with visual impairments. 3. Mandate Clear Typography Current Regulation: No restrictions on font style. Recommended Change: Require sans-serif fonts (e.g., Arial, Verdana) and avoid decorative or stylized typefaces. Reason: Simple, clear fonts enhance readability, particularly for people with dyslexia or cognitive impairments. 4. Allow Dynamic Labeling Adjustments for Smaller Packages Current Regulation: Labels on packages smaller than 12 square inches can use reduced font sizes. Recommended Change: Require the use of fold-out labels, QR codes to provide legible ingredient information without reducing font size. Reason: Smaller font sizes compromise accessibility; alternate methods preserve readability while accommodating limited space. 5. Use Plain Language Current Regulation: Ingredient lists must use common or usual names but may still include scientific terminology. Recommended Change: Mandate plain language descriptions alongside technical names (e.g., "sodium chloride (salt)"). Reason: Simplifying terms ensures greater comprehension for individuals with low literacy skills. 6. Standardize Allergen Formatting Current Regulation: Allergens can be declared in the ingredient list or a separate "Contains" statement. Recommended Change: Require a consistent allergen section in bold or highlighted text, clearly separated from the main ingredient list. Reason: Improves visibility for people specifically looking for allergen information. 7. Add Digital Accessibility Current Regulation: Labels are static with no interactive features. Recommended Change: Encourage the use of QR codes or NFC technology on packaging to link to accessible digital formats (e.g., larger text, audio descriptions). Reason: Provides enhanced accessibility options for individuals with disabilities. These stroke-of-the-pen changes can be made Day 1 and any argument from big-food would reveal their obvious attempt to keep The People in the dark... @RobertKennedyJr @MartyMakary @DoctorJanette @DonaldJTrumpJr @US_FDA @FDAfood
