The Ripple Effect of Fraudulent Science
Regulatory policy rooted in a historic lab misrepresentation
For over 50 years, U.S. chemical and radiation regulations have been founded on a flawed interpretation of data from a 1950s Oak Ridge National Laboratory study, which misrepresented control-group mutation rates and led to widespread overestimation of cancer risks. Although whistleblower Paul Selby and historian Ed Cala

Payments to Peer Reviewers of Major Medical Journals
JAMA report on drug and medical device manufacturers funding peer reviewers
Between 2020 and 2022, 1,155 of 1,962 U.S. physician peer reviewers (58.9%) for four leading medical journals (BMJ, JAMA, The Lancet, NEJM) received a combined $1.06 billion in payments from drug and medical device manufacturers. The vast majority of this ($1 billion, 94%) was for research support, while about $64 million covered general payments such as consulting and speaking fees. The authors highlight the lack of disclosure policies for reviewers and call for greater transparency in peer review conflicts.

Substrate Oxidation Does Not Influence Middle Distance Running Performance
A Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial
This trial examined whether the type of substrate your body prefers to burn—fat or carbohydrates—actually affects middle-distance running performance. Recreational runners completed 5K or 10K time trials after consuming either a low-carbohydrate high-fat (LCHF) meal or a high-carbohydrate low-fat (HCLF) meal under fed-state conditions.

The Truth About Protein Drinks and Shakes
Consumer Report on what else is in protein drinks
This Consumer Report warns that protein drinks often contain shockingly high amounts of added sugar, such as up to 46 grams in one Naked Chocolate Protein Smoothie . They also raise concerns about potential contamination with heavy metals—including arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury—particularly when these beverages are consumed frequently. Overall, they warn that that while protein drinks may be marketed as healthy and convenient, consumers should be cautious and scrutinize ingredient lists—and not overlook possible health risks.

Surprising Study Finds Meat May Protect Against Cancer Risk
Surprising?
Though just an observational analysis, this study of nearly 16,000 U.S. adults found no link between higher animal protein intake and increased mortality. In fact, participants who consumed more animal protein had a modest but statistically significant reduction in cancer-related deaths. These findings remained consistent even after controlling for a variety of dietary and lifestyle factors, while plant protein intake showed minimal impact on cancer mortality.
