Americans! (We need to talk about your Health Secretary)

Описание: Are seed oils poison? Is thimerosal in vaccines dangerous? RFK gets a lot of attention in the media, but let's look at the science behind his claims.

CORRECTIONS and CLARIFICATIONS:
1) I have had a couple of comments questioning my description of LDL, the so-called 'bad' cholesterol. One of them cited some research suggesting LDL may not be the culprit when it comes to clogged arteries. This has to be weighed against the huge amount of research over several decades showing that there is a link, and that link is accepted by every major medical institution I checked. See my pinned comment for details. Still, fair to say that the link between LDL and clogged arteries (atherosclerosis) is being questioned.

2) The photo I show of the element sodium is a bit suspect. I got the photo from a website called 'Get 10 Facts About the Element Sodium' (thoughtco.com/sodium-element-facts-606471). Sodium is a dull gray color on contact with air, and this looks more like a crystalline form of a sodium compound.

3) I cannot verify all the ingredients shown in Quaker oats and McDonalds frying oil. The one I mention, dimethylpolysiloxane, is used. And although the exact ingredients may differ, or (as I mentioned) may have changed, there is a huge disparity between what is allowed in the USA and Europe (cspi.org/page/chemical-cuisine-food-additive-safety-ratings)
