Isn’t it time we called out red meat for what the data actually shows? 🫣 That it’s more pro-aging than any ultra processed food? 😥 youtu.be/LPXWCIFDkgM

Confession: I underestimated @prof-valterlongo.bsky.social for years, but his recent papers rang my bell. Stanford Professor @tamikokatsumoto.bsky.social was gracious enough to go with me to USC to help interview him, and I thought their conversation was utterly fascinating.

It seems crazy that meat could be more unhealthy for longevity than soda, deserts and liquor, but that's the data. I did not see that coming.

My son Mark (in jeans) donated a kidney at Stanford to an unknown recipient. The recipient (center), who thought he was near his end after 4 years of waiting, reached out to him & now they're besties. Stanford has them speak to med students every 6 months.

Fascinating story in @nymag.com about how America's obsession with protein is taking us down the path of more processed food. 🤨 Since protein isolates don't taste good, we add sugar and flavoring to compensate. And protein isolates aren't exactly nutrient dense...
