Today is International Scurvy Awareness Day! Scurvy, a disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, might seem like a relic of the past, confined to the annals of maritime history. Yet, even in this modern age of advanced medicine and nutritional knowledge, it persists in pockets around the globe, affecting vulnerable populations and underscoring the importance of access to proper nutrition and healthcare. On this day, we stand united in our mission to raise awareness about scurvy, its causes, symptoms, and most importantly, its prevention. Through education, advocacy, and outreach, we strive to ensure that no individual suffers needlessly from this entirely preventable condition.

Understanding the complexities of food poisoning is crucial. In my experience as an attorney, I've seen firsthand how it can lead to serious complications. When the immune system becomes hyperactive, it can mistakenly attack healthy tissues, leading to autoimmune disorders. 🤕 This alarming phenomenon underscores the importance of prompt medical attention and legal recourse. Let's advocate for justice and safeguard our community's health. ⚖️ https://lnkd.in/e_q7a2sc #AttorneyIanSilverthorne #OrangeCounty #OrangeCountyLaw #FoodPoisoning #AutoimmuneDisorders #LegalJustice #HealthAwareness #MedicalComplications #ImmuneSystem #PublicSafety #LegalAdvocacy #CommunityHealth #KnowledgeIsPower

An outbreak of E.coli has been blamed for causing illnesses in at least 30 people and is now believed to be linked to the death of one person in Scotland. > The UK Health Security Agency said the death has been "associated with the outbreak", which has led to five cheese products being withdrawn as a precaution in the UK. > > “Investigations have identified links between some of the identified cases and a number of unpasteurised cheeses produced by a business in England,” the agency told The Guardian. > The majority of cases occurred in December and included both children as young as seven and adults up to 81 years old. 🧫 LGC Standards supports and simplifies your laboratory’s analysis with its easi-tab™ range of lyophilised microbe standards: https://okt.to/YovtWr, plus dedicated STEC proficiency testing schemes and samples: https://okt.to/v3U1m2 #FoodSafety #MicrobiologyTesting #ScienceForASaferWorld

Eliminating trans fat—a toxic chemical added to food—will save hundreds of thousands of lives from heart disease. The REPLACE initiative is the first-ever elimination program for a non-communicable disease risk and can serve as a model for other nutritional policy priorities. In a new article for the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, experts from our team, the World Health Organization (WHO), Global Health Advocacy Incubator and NCD Alliance describe global progress toward a world free from trans fat—and the challenges that remain. https://lnkd.in/ghYzSawt

Beware of the xylazine threat! ❌ This animal anesthetic is now being consumed for human use, without realizing some of the serious consequences it can have on your health. What makes xylazine especially dangerous, is that it not being an opioid means its effects can not be reversed by naloxone. Ingesting xylazine can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure and breathing, while injecting it can cause serious wounds and infection that can sometimes even lead to amputation. Don’t take risks when it comes to your health! 💙 #XylazineAwareness #DrugAwareness #Xylazine

Food & nutrition obsessive. Nutritionist & Neuroscientist academic and writer (mental health, plants, polyphenols, diabetes/obesity, gut microbiota), food-waste warrior & science/healthtech/food/fmcg NPD(ideation-scale)
It is so shocking that obesity is still growing despite our improvements in health knowledge and health tech. More needs to be done to reduce food insecurity and reduce access to high glycemic index simple carbohydrate foods and drinks, sweetener and sugar sweetened beverages, high trans fat and ultra processed foods and improve access to exercise. Good metabolic health is possible for all. #reduceobesity #healthawareness
Big front page article in the Times today - finally diet-related ill health is starting to be more widely recognised. Brilliant that it’s front page news. At the same time, tragic that it’s front page news. A food ethics lens encourages us to think about root causes and to join the dots. A message to those designing up general election manifestoes: If we invest in public health, prevention and transforming our food environments, it will pay back and then some. Just saying….

Food pouches offer convenience and can calm mealtime stress with a toddler. But are there unintended effects of offering these squeezable bags of softened or pureed food too often? ASHA associate director of health care services in speech-language pathology shares a perspective on the primary issues that arise when children become solely dependent on these pouches, as well as the benefits of occasional use of food pouches in reducing mealtime-related anxiety and putting families on a path to more adventurous eating.
