“(This) may steady the ship, but it also begs the question: if the same structures remain, and similar leadership is chosen to run them, what is actually changing?” asks Dr @MaryanneDemasi
Years ago, I was asked to endorse a bond measure in our town for school funding. I asked the proponents how much we were currently spending on schools & why more was needed. No one could tell me. It was as if hadn't occurred to them. All they could say was, "It's for education."
A new American mother is standing in the aisle at Target at nine o'clock at night. She is holding two tins of formula and reading the ingredient lists on the back. She is exhausted. She is trying to do the right thing.
The tins are almost identical. Soy oil. High-oleic sunflower oil. Coconut oil. Palm oil. She has no context for what those are or why they are there. The tin says "complete nutrition for your baby." The tin has a picture of a smiling infant on the front. She picks the one her paediatrician recommended and drives home.
She does not know that the composition of what she is holding was decided in a Senate subcommittee room in 1980.
That year, a handful of American infants fed off-brand formula developed seizures from chloride deficiency in poorly formulated product. Congress responded with the Infant Formula Act, requiring manufacturers to meet minimum levels of 29 nutrients and to mimic, as closely as possible, the composition of human breast milk.
The intention was reasonable. The consequence was accidental and permanent.
The FDA turned the Act into a technical specification. Formula sold in America must contain at minimum 300 milligrams of linoleic acid per 100 kilocalories. Linoleic acid is the omega-6 polyunsaturated fat. It appears in abundance in one specific category of ingredient and in only trace amounts almost everywhere else. The category is industrial seed oil. Soybean. Safflower. Sunflower. Corn.
Butter is 3% linoleic acid. Beef tallow is 3%. Coconut oil is under 2%. Animal fats cannot hit the legal minimum. Only seed oils can.
Every mainstream American infant formula is now 20 to 25% linoleic acid. By federal law.
Breast milk in 1960 was 6%. American mothers ate lard, butter, whole milk, eggs, and beef, and had never heard of canola. That was the reference standard. That was what formula was meant to match.
Breast milk in 2026 is 15 to 20%. The reason is that the average American mother now consumes around 70 pounds of seed oil per year. What goes into the mother goes into the milk. The standard the formula is legally mandated to match has been shifted by the same oils the formula contains.
The formula is matching a corrupted reference.
The reference is corrupted because the reference is drinking the same oils the formula carries.
The loop is closed.
The oils in the tin are hexane-extracted, bleached, deodorised at 250 degrees Celsius, and partially oxidised before the lid is sealed. They are then fed to a six-week-old infant at roughly four times the inflammatory fat load of the breast milk that built the tallest generation in American history.
Linoleic acid does not pass through. It incorporates into the cell membranes. It stays there for eighteen months minimum. It accumulates in fat stores. It slowly releases inflammatory metabolites into the tissue for years.
The mother will be told her baby is colicky. The mother will be told her baby has reflux. The mother will be told her baby has eczema. The mother will be told these things are normal.

I posted last week about a number of my 30 something-year-old friends who have been diagnosed with rare aggressive cancers, or have died suddenly.
I found out today a coworker of mine who is 39 died just this weekend. Sudden.. no signs…
What the hell is going on?
Unconscionable indeed.
The most insulting irony is that people who defend Israel’s prohibition of journalists entering Gaza tend to argue that it does this to safeguard journalists’ safety.
Meanwhile, Israel was responsible for ~2/3 of all journalist killings globally in 2025.

Everywhere you look, you find horrific massacres committed by the Muslim Brotherhood. Even as far back as 1971, when they killed up to 3 million Hindus, raped 400,000 women, and destroyed hundreds of temples. It is time for the US and other countries to recognize this genocide.

For all its flaws, Türkiye is not an existential danger to Europe. It remains a (largely imperfect) democracy, a secular state and is the only militarily powerful country in the Middle East, which, despite major challenges and tensions, can be considered as an ally to Europe.
