Story at-a-glance
- Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., and research shows a strong connection between gut health and cancer risk, particularly related to your diet
- Ultraprocessed foods containing vegetable oils are high in linoleic acid (LA), which disrupt the gut’s healthy bacteria balance, leading to chronic inflammation that increases colon cancer risk
- Research published in Gut shows that colorectal cancer samples have defective “lipid class switching,” preventing the normal transition from inflammatory to resolution phase in healing processes
To Elon Musk and the DOGE team looking at Medicare:
Most Americans don’t know that for much of U.S. history there was no federal income tax and there was no central bank. But now everyone assumes that we must have a federal income tax and a central bank in order to have a functioning society. Today, there are just a handful of nations that do not have an income tax, and more than 99 percent of the entire population of the globe lives in a country that has a central bank. Of course the two work hand in hand. A central bank creates a spiral of borrowing that is meant to be unbreakable, and an income tax is necessary to service payments on that debt spiral. It is not a coincidence that a federal income tax and the Federal Reserve were both established in 1913. Since that time, we have piled up the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world, and that is precisely the outcome that the system was designed to produce.
