Plastering front-of-package nutrient claims on cereal boxes is an attempt to distract from the incongruity of feeding our children multicolored marshmallows for breakfast.

I was invited to testify as an expert witness in a case against sugary cereal companies (donating my fee, of course), and this extended video series is a result of some of the research I did into those cases. Here are some of the others:

DRINK MORE WATER…

Researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system, published a study titled “Sugar-Sweetened and Artificially Sweetened Beverages and Risk of Liver Cancer and Chronic Liver Disease Mortality” in the Journal of the American Medical Association on Tuesday, explaining a possible link between the regular consumption of sweetened drinks and death due to liver cancer. The study involved nearly 100,000 postmenopausal women followed for a median of twenty years.

The only answer to fix saggy muscles, bad posture, and soreness after sitting is weight training,’ she said.

‘Your body requires regular maintenance for optimal health. It’s especially important to build and maintain strong muscles, as one’s risk of bone loss and fractures increases with age.’

You can build new muscle tissue by performing resistance training and getting a sufficient amount of protein and nutrients.

[Cmmt: protein does not need to be animal-derived.]

[Editor: Not only young women, I can attest to that!] 🙂

After analyzing 2,400 young adults, either on the short staircase (52% of whom were women) or the long staircase (29% of whom were women), the researchers discovered eight risky behaviors that the young people practiced: 

1. not using a handrail
2. not watching the stairs while descending
3. wearing sandals, flip-flops or high heels
4. having a conversation with another person or on a smartphone
5. using an electronic device
6. keeping hands in pockets
7. holding something
8. skipping steps

Four men lost their balance on the long staircase, while one woman did so on the short staircase, but all recovered.
