Why We Get Sick
Connecting Metabolic Health to Chronic Disease
In this presentation, Dr. Benjamin Bikman explored the central role of insulin resistance in a wide range of chronic conditions, from cardiovascular disease and diabetes to Alzheimer’s and hormonal disorders. Dr. Bikman emphasized that nearly 90% of American adults are metabolically unhealthy, often without realizing it, because conventional medicine focuses narrowly on blood glucose rather than the earlier and more insidious rise in insulin. He explained how chronic hyperinsulinemia—driven largely by high carbohydrate intake, frequent eating, and refined foods—creates a vicious cycle of cellular and systemic insulin resistance, which impairs the body’s ability to regulate energy, damages multiple organ systems, and even disrupts

Bing Crosby Science: Ultraprocessed Food edition
What do you do when the latest clinical trial contradicts the core assumption of UPF science?
Gary Taubes looks at a long-standing hypothesis in nutrition science—that ultra-processed foods (UPFs) harm health primarily by prompting overeating. He highlights a recent, large-scale clinical trial led by British researchers that challenges this assumption, suggesting that UPFs may affect health through mechanisms beyond calorie-driven overconsumption. Essentially, he questions the belief that the adverse effects of UPFs are solely due to increased energy intake.

The long reach of Hermann J. Muller
How Muller influenced the development and content of secondary school biology curricula
This article details how Nobel Laureate Hermann J. Muller used his scientific prestige to exert outsized control over the 1960s Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) biology textbooks, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation. While promoting evolution as the curriculum’s unifying theme, Muller also sought to embed his controversial "reform eugenics" ideology—an ethically questionable and scientifically disputed agenda—into high school education. Although his explicit eugenics proposals were ultimately rejected, his dominance in shaping the curriculum blurred the line between objective science education and personal ideology.

Part I: Setting Up The Trick
Much planning and setup is needed to convince the world medical treatments are effective, or even necessary in the first place. Though obvious for many diseases, blurring the line between diseases and symptoms allows pharmaceutical companies to sell more drugs that simply effect symptoms, and do nothing to treat the underlying disease. Redefining accepted thresholds between healthy and sick can also have a huge effect on the number of people afflicted by a disease, thus widening the market for those ‘needing’ treatment.

Are You a Carboholic?
Why cutting carbs is so tough
Gary Taubes explores why cutting carbohydrates can feel almost addictive, coining the term "carboholic" to describe this phenomenon. He explains that even small amounts of carb-rich foods spark an insulin response that sends energy to fat cells, leaving other cells starved—and triggering cravings for more carbs. Experts like Drs. Ludwig and Lustig echo this, noting that reducing insulin levels tends to reduce these cravings, while reintroducing carbs often leads people straight back to old habits. Taubes and others suggest that eating satiating fats can help suppress such carb-driven binge behaviors.
