pangram shows 75% AI generated for the article: https://www.pangram.com/history/996e9766-0021-40b7-a226-a1cc ...

That’s a 404.

And I recently had an AI detector give a 40% to an article I’d written 100% by hand, every word, with not so much as a Grammarly check involved.

I try to take the middle road: Making 50-75%+ of my calories come from refined, powderized carbs and sugar (original food pyramid) - Bad Eating whole foods, lightly cooked. Whole food starch sources, often retrograde starch. avoid high heat fried foods, eat mostly leaner meats - Good Declaring plants and seed oils evil, nothing but lard, tallow and red meat and a dozen eggs a day - Bad Two meals day with no snacking…

If people got 75% of their calories from plant based whole foods, a lot of health problems would probably disappear overnight.

> Back in the hospital, my patients are replacing olive oil with beef tallow This is a weird thing to call out since olive oil isn't a seed oil. Is the point that patients are confused? Does the author (a purported dietitian) not know this himself/herself?

The “seed oils” movement has grown beyond seed oils. People who follow seed oil influencers usually subscribe to a cluster of ideas. The superiority of beef tallow is one of them.

I would agree

#IAmVerySmart Edit: One of the few things I find more annoying than AI blogs is the gleeful rush to label everything as AI generated. It comes across as “I am so clever! You can’t fool me!” Meanwhile, that reads like a perfectly normal sounding thing for a human to have written. “This blog uses the word ‘the’ a lot. Sure sign of AI!”

Where is this panic? In the US? I don’t hear anything about it (in Europe).

Social media.

Europe is not immune.

I almost never hear about it in person. It’s always on some social media site. Often the sites where people think they’re not using normal social media, like Twitter or Reddit.

I'd recommend https://myticker.com/ which was shared here some time ago.

I followed the advice on this site and actually got very bad news. But the good news would be, that I'm on a strict medication regimen now and maybe I'll live to see my son's graduation.

RFK is killing people. it's what he does.

"eat less ultra-processed food"

well, how do you think Canola Oil is made exactly?

it's cracked, cooked, pressed, washed in hexane and acid, neutralized with caustic soda, bleached, deodorized

on what planet is that not ultra processed?

so, i should avoid ultra-processed food, except oils that are ultra-processed?

whereas tallow, is...cut from meat

i'm not suggesting you should only eat tallow, I'm just saying it's not ultra-processed.
