San Francisco files lawsuit against major food manufacturers
The city argues ultra-processed foods have led to a health care crisis.
On December 2, 2025, City of San Francisco filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit against ten major food and beverage manufacturers — including Kraft Heinz, Mondelez International, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Nestlé USA, General Mills and others — alleging their ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have triggered a public-health emergency.

The Challenge of Reforming Nutritional Epidemiologic Research
The field routinely produces implausible findings and urgently needs structural reform.
John Ioannidis critiques nutritional epidemiology for generating highly confounded, often biologically implausible associations that are frequently misinterpreted as causal. He highlights meta-analyses in which nearly every food appears to meaningfully raise or lower mortality risk—sometimes to absurd degrees—showing how residual confounding, selective reporting, and correlated dietary patterns undermine the credibility of observational findings. Ioannidis stresses that even biomarker-based studies and high-profile trials have struggled to produce reliable, reproducible results.

Ultra-processed foods and human health
The main thesis and the evidence
This Lancet Series paper lays out the core thesis that ultra-processed foods (UPFs)—defined not just by ingredients but by industrial processing itself—drive obesity, metabolic disease, and other health harms through pathways that cannot be explained by calories, sugar, fat, or additives alone. The authors synthesize epidemiology, mechanistic data, and clinical findings to argue that UPFs alter appetite control, disrupt gut and hormonal signaling, and promote overconsumption through hyper-palatability, texture engineering, and rapid digestibility.

Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma when jumping from aircraft
Rigorous randomized trial finds no improvement in injury outcomes with parachute use.
This BMJ trial evaluates parachute use with the full machinery of high-quality clinical research: randomized assignment, predefined endpoints, intention-to-treat analysis, and structured follow-up at both five minutes and 30 days after landing. Twenty-three adult participants were randomized to jump from an aircraft while wearing either a parachute or a control backpack, with outcomes measured using the Injury Severity Score and standardized health surveys. Baseline characteristics, flight conditions, and medical histories were meticulously recorded, and investigators followed a formal statistical plan under institutional ethical oversight.
