Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Pat chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder (1 tsp), thyme (½ tsp), rosemary (½ tsp), and smoked paprika (½ tsp).
In an oven-safe skillet, heat butter or tallow (1½ Tbsp) over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 6–7 minutes, until the skin is golden and crisp.
Flip and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 15–18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes.
In a separate skillet, melt butter (1 Tbsp) over medium heat. Add minced garlic (2 cloves) and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add fresh spinach (5 oz) and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring until wilted.
Stir in heavy cream (¼ cup), cream cheese (2 Tbsp), and Parmesan (2 Tbsp). Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (optional). Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thick and creamy.
Plate the creamed spinach and top with a crispy chicken thigh. Drizzle with olive oil (1 tsp) if desired and garnish with extra herbs or lemon zest.
This Environmental Health paper traces how the sugar industry systematically influenced fluoride research and policy from the 1930s to today. Archival records and internal communications reveal a coordinated effort to promote water fluoridation as a dental health solution—diverting attention from sugar’s role in tooth decay—and to suppress or discredit findings on fluoride’s potential toxicity. Industry-funded scientists and front groups shaped public messaging, government advisory panels, and research priorities to align with commercial interests. The authors argue that these interventions not only distorted scientific understanding of fluoride but also exemplify how corporate influence can redirect entire fields of public health policy over decades.
