Health related research in a nutshell.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. maga tells you it's changed or erased knowledge. Really it is new knowledge built on top of the old knowledge.

Plus there is a lot of all-or-nothing fallacy in maga thinking. "Okay, eggs are not bad now. So have three for breakfast" ... oh and by the way two more distributed in the processed food, each day.

Yes, genetics plays a role, but so does epigenetics, which heavily influences how the genes are expressed. Hence one identical twin might have cancer while the other doesn't.

It's not as if what we knew about cholesterol is wrong, it's that we know more. Now we know there are two kinds: HDL and LDL. Wait, we learned there are three! HDL, LDL, VLDL. That doesn't mean that "cholesterol is bad" is wrong. It's that now we know more nuance, like about how it relates to lifestyle and genetics and other food intake (like salt and alcohol).

But, famously, Republicons and maga don't do nuance.
