Higher intake of ultra-processed foods has been associated with a laundry list of ailments. It makes sense that greater consumption would be associated with more dental cavities, thanks to their sugar, obesity, thanks to their concentration of calories, and an increased risk of high blood pressure, thanks to their salt, which is linked to higher rates of cardiovascular events, like heart attacks and strokes. And, since cardiovascular diseases are our leading killers, it also makes sense that excess intake of ultra-processed foods could lead to increased overall mortality.

Preparing for the next pandemic means completely rethinking the medical and administrative strategies that defined the response to COVID-19. Boris Kriger, drawing on his experience as the head of a clinical research center, he argues that the world’s obsession with vaccines—while valuable—came at the cost of neglecting the urgent development of drugs that could directly suppress viral replication. Instead of focusing solely on prevention, he insists, we must invest in treatments that can swiftly weaken a virus once it has entered the body, reducing both the severity and duration of illness.

The Bodies of Others is about how we came to the harrowing civilizational crossroads at which we find ourselves—engaged in a war against vast impersonal forces with limitless power over our lives and which threaten the freedoms we have always taken for granted.

La contaminazione esprime la paura di essere invasi da qualcosa o da qualcuno e mette in crisi la nostra singolarità. Esiste dai tempi più lontani: la ritroviamo nel Noli me tangere di Gesù nel Vangelo e nel cristianesimo con il rito del battesimo che toglie i peccati dell'uomo, ma anche in altre religioni, nelle caste degli intoccabili, nella presunta purezza dell'ordine nobiliare e nella discriminazione delle razze. Una concordanza fondata su elementi biologici che la paura del virus ha attivato, facendo presa dunque sulla costituzione generale ed essenziale della specie umana.

When Ronald Reagan chose C. Everett Koop to be Surgeon General of the United States in 1981, liberal politicians, women's groups, and even the public health community opposed the nomination because of his conservative social views and strong anti-abortion beliefs.

Travis A. Weisse tells a new history of modern diets in America that goes beyond the familiar narrative of the nation’s collective failure to lose weight. By exploring how the popularity of diets grew alongside patients' frustrations with the limitations and failures of the American healthcare system in the face of chronic disease, Weisse argues that millions of Americans sought “fad” diets—such as the notorious Atkins program which ushered in the low-carbohydrate craze—to wrest control of their health from pessimistic doctors and lifelong pharmaceutical regimens.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, one renowned scientist, in his famous bowtie, appeared daily on major news networks such as MSNBC, NPR, the BBC, and others. Dr. Peter J. Hotez often went without sleep, working around the clock to develop a nonprofit COVID-19 vaccine and to keep the public informed. During that time, he was one of the most trusted voices on the pandemic and was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his selfless work. He also became one of the main targets of anti-science rhetoric that gained traction through conservative news media.
