"The average SNAP benefit per person in fiscal year 2025 is $6.16 per day, according to estimates from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

Zoom in: There are a number of risks with the proposal to cut foods from SNAP, including logistical and cost concerns, access in food desserts, equity issues and questions over how to measure success and behavioral changes among consumers."

"That's created unparalleled uncertainty that is spreading from her business of 150 employees to her American suppliers — farmers across 25 states — and the U.S. ocean liners she uses to ship hundreds of metric tons of Edesia's Plumpy'Nut therapeutic paste, and finally, to the international organizations that distribute it to children staving off death."

You know what we need? A drug that makes our body taste sugar as bitter...

That way, any time you crave something sweet, and you take a sip or bite, you'll recoil in disgust and reach for something healthy instead.

Watch your weight melt off and diabetes become a distant memory.

I'll take my millions in cash. Thank you.

🧈 Dietary Lipids, Gut Microbiota, and Their Metabolites: Insights from Recent Studies

mdpi.com/2072-6643/17/4/639

MDPIDietary Lipids, Gut Microbiota, and Their Metabolites: Insights from Recent StudiesDietary lipid intake can influence the gut microbiota (GM) and their metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and bile acids, which are key mediators of health. The objective is to examine how dietary lipids’ quantity and quality influence the GM and metabolite profiles. A literature review of 33 studies in animals and humans was performed on the effects of saturated fatty acids (SFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), trans-fatty acids (TFAs), and sterols on GM composition and gut-derived metabolites. The results show that diets rich in MUFAs, n-3 PUFAs, and short-chain FAs have the potential to enhance beneficial bacteria and metabolites. In addition, trans-palmitoleic acid, conjugated linoleic acid, and phytosterols may also have potentially beneficial effects on GM, but more research is needed. Medium-chain FAs and n-6 PUFAs have variable effects on the GM. Conversely, intakes of high-fat diets, long-chain SFAs, industrial TFAs, and cholesterol disrupt GM balance. In conclusion, animal studies clearly demonstrate that dietary fats influence the GM and related metabolites. Yet, human studies are limited. Therefore, well-designed human studies that consider the whole diet and baseline health status are needed to better understand the effects of dietary lipids on GM.
