A Guide to Weight Loss
A nutrition professor discusses a new study.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/20/well/eat/counting-calories-weight-loss-diet-dieting-low-carb-low-fat.html
Cut out fructose and eat rationally.

Lies, Damned Lies, and One Very Misleading Statistic
An expert “estimate” that United Nations personnel sexually abused 60,000 people turns out to be more of a guess.The story is not the one told by the advocates of action or inaction.
