Michael Carrato, one of my readers, didn’t like what I had to say about his ketogenic diet regimen. Carrato writes: Are you saying that a ketogenic diet CANNOT reverse diabetes and improve markers for CHD? Because it seems that the position of the anti-fat crowd is that keto is positively incompatible with good health, that low…

Large-Scale Study Proves High-Fat Diet Promotes Health and Longevity – Quackery?
by Michael Suede •
Lew Rockwell recently published an article by Dr. Joseph Mercola, who seems enamored with ketogenic diets for some reason. In the article, Mercola advocates for eating a high fat diet and regularly putting oneself into a state of ketosis. Mercola claims this will promote longevity and “boost mitochondrial function.” It’s true that a properly done ketogenic…
BBC Pidgin – The Greatest News Source In The History Of The World
by Michael Suede •
BBC just released its new Pigdin language website… and it’s awesome. This is just the most insane, over the top, totally crazy, throw all grammar to the wind, complete nonsense stories, so bad it’s good website ever created in the history of man. My favorite story so far was about a girl who became trapped…
Face First Into Bureaucratic Madness – Opening a Hot Dog Stand In California
by Michael Suede •
It happens to be that my brother needs a better paying job. He doesn’t have a degree, but he is a hard worker. He doesn’t like factory or trade work, but he’s always enjoyed working in the fast paced environment of the food service industry. After poking around for some jobs I thought he might…
Debunking What The Health Nonsense Debunkers
by Michael Suede •
Michael Vacanti’s comments in the video seem pretty representative of the people who review What The Health, so I figured I’d make a response post to him. My comments below debunk his comments in the video point by point. 1. It’s not just observational studies in terms of meat causing cancer. N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is a potent…
Trump’s Appointments
by Michael Suede •
So far it’s looking like a mix of good and bad. His national security adviser, Retired Gen. Michael Flynn, isn’t too bad, but the AG (Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions) and CIA Director (Republican congressman Mike Pompeo of Kansas) suck. I think Flynn’s wiki page has been edited to make him look as bad as…
The Most Upsetting Thing About This Election – Grocery Bags
by Michael Suede •
California voted to ban plastic grocery bags. Seriously, this is infuriating. Now I’ll have to lug a bunch of reusable bags around or pay a 10 cent surcharge for each paper bag. I can’t believe a majority of people in CA voted for this nonsense. This also means I’ll have to make double the trips…
Dr. Peter Attia: Hack, Liar and All Round Disgusting Individual
by Michael Suede •
Apparently Peter and his buddy Gary Taubes just love themselves some crappy pseudoscience. Both of them are funded by the Arnold Foundation, with substantial ties to animal agriculture industry lobbying. Marion Nestle notes the Arnold’s working relationship with a National Restaurant Association and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association consultant. So let’s go over the bogus arguments in this…
UFC Fight: Why Nate Diaz Beat Champion Conor McGregor
by Michael Suede •
What a great Saturday night! I setup my giant 120″ projector screen in my friend’s yard and we invited a pile of people over to watch the Diaz v. McGregor fight on pay per view. I swear it’s better than actually being there. What I didn’t know until recently is that McGregor got his butt kicked by a…
Dr Walter Palmer’s Life Destroyed By Social Media
by Michael Suede •
Dr Walter Palmer, a dentist from Minneapolis, is the clown who shot the now famous lion named Cecil during a botched hunting expedition. Everyone from Jimmy Kimmel to Cara Delevinge has taken pot shots at the doctor in the media. The doctor has basically been run out of his practice. His business’s social media accounts have…
