I’m delighted that chrome (and eventually edge) are shipping MathML. This is HUGE for my day job.

I’m longing for a book that’s as well researched and cited as “how not to diet” but for movement in the body. What do we know about keeping mobility as we age? What kind of exercise matters? What should we be doing everyday? How do muscles work? How does stretching work?
Ok one more thing I’m thinking about- is oil bad for you? Like olive oil? This is disputed amongst the healthiest diets. It seems like “it depends”. If eating oil gets you to eat less butter (and therefore saturated fat) then yes. If oil get you to eat more veggies then yes. If you’re just adding oil to food… no.
Food is big business. I come away feeling powerless against how engineered foods are. Food is made to be tasty and profitable, not filling. Food makers are sure consumers have a choice and choose carefully. Spoiler: we do not. It’s easy to manipulate people.
And as long as we’re talking about bread- common additives to bread at the store include sawdust (allulose). There’s lots of other tricks like where dextrose, a sugar, is allowed to be called a fiber by the FDA.
Learning about bread made me angry. Bread at the grocery store isn’t what I thought it was. To get “whole wheat flour” as an industrial process we grind wheat berries into their component parts and then mix them back together to the legal definition of whole wheat. Eek! It doesn’t have nearly the nutritional value of truly ground wheat berries that are kept together.
I was also surprised how old ketogenic diets are. Really old. Like 1700s. It’s not a new idea but we also have good data that eating high levels of saturated fat (animal products) results in much increased heart attack risk. There’s lots of evidence of folks improving their health through atkins (nee Keto) only to have a heart attack at 50.
The results are at once electrifyingly clear and boring- eat more vegetables. Studies show again and again that a diet made up of whole grains and vegetables and other Whole Foods results in the lowest disease risk and the lowest weight.
My whole life I’ve felt like nutrition science doesn’t really know what to eat and what not to eat. This couldn’t be further from the truth. We have great data from the seven contrives study, the china study, and the Adventist II nutrition study.
