GM 🦁 This is Andrew's Apples, the health email that your outspokenly contrarian cousin likes to gush about. All in under 2 min. Let's go.
💉 Pfizer Pfraud? Calling it right now: there is more to the C19 vaccines than meets the eye. We just witnessed unprecedented gene therapy implementation over the past 24 months. Odd things are starting to leak out. We will put a pin in this, but I do not think this looks good for vaccine makers and their legions of blind-faith defenders. I could be wrong but Zoinks Scoob!
🍷 Boozed up? A new study out of the UK claims that, despite previous studies and hearsay concluding that modest amounts of alcohol is good for you, alcohol is no amount is good for you. Translation: alcohol consumption was associated with higher risk of disease. This is obviously a complicated issue, for one because four of the handful of blue zone populations drink moderately (and live longer lives than the rest of the world). I would say to live your life, do your shit, don't be annoyingly neurotic about this stuff, and at the same time - yes - don't trick yourself into thinking that a Spanish red is going to save you or that tequila's ancient "medicinal qualities" will cure a common cold.
🧈 The Butter Wars. Last month the WaPo penned a piece that essentially said there is very little difference, nutritionally, between butter and shortening. Yes, shortening as in the vegetable oil-laden unrefrigerated Crisco can that your great-grandmother used during WWI. Lol smh! Butter and ghee have been around for thousands of years; shortening has been popular for about one century and tied to countless health complications. Like watches or TVs, by and large, the longer something has been around the less harmful it is to use. On twitter people refer to this as the Lindy Effect. The key points against butter are saturated fat and cholesterol. But saturated fat (found in animal protein and coconuts, e.g.) is almost always good for you and one's cholesterol levels are self-regulating (i.e., consuming dietary cholesterol unless in obscene amounts does not move the needle). It's an unbacked spook campaign. Not fooling me, gang.
🧠 Skin careless. This tweet below. People hate the fact that diet and sunlight and sleep together are vastly more important than just slathering a Malibu mom's boutique skin "serum" on your face after deleting Domino's (again) in your den.
How do you like them Apples? If you ever need anything, hit reply. Love hearing from readers.
Your friend,
Andrew🍎
