How many doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals truly understand the latest scientific evidence to distinguish "healthy" versus less healthy or unhealthy foods? How many know how best to successfully engage their patients to improve their dietary choices and practice mindful eating and lifestyle strategies? How many can serve as role models, coaches, and teachers to shift the way adults think about purchasing, preparing, and enjoying healthy and delicious foods? During this three-day conference, faculty members from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Harvard Medical School, and other leading institutions present the current research on diet, nutrition, and lifestyle choices as they affect health.
World-class chefs from The Culinary Institute of America and beyond join these experts to lead demonstrations and hands-on teaching sessions (literally in the kitchen) for healthcare professionals who want to learn about selection, purchase, and preparation strategies and techniques for healthy cooking. Conference attendees not only are exposed to the latest systematic reviews of nutrition science, they also taste, prepare, and learn to teach others to enjoy a broad selection of foods that can reduce disease risk and, ideally, replace unhealthy habits throughout a lifetime.
Participants have the opportunity to learn about, taste, and prepare foods in The Culinary Institute of America at Copia Teaching Kitchens under the direction of professional chef educators.
Meals served throughout the course are an intrinsic part of the curriculum. Attendees gather in this celebrated facility in one of the most magical landscapes in the United States to learn how to communicate concepts of healthy food selection and preparation to their patients and clients.
Due to the interactive, hands-on nature of the program, space is very limited and early registration is highly recommended.

Abstract
Importance It is crucial to incorporate quality and types of carbohydrate and fat when investigating the associations of low-fat and low-carbohydrate diets with mortality.
Objective To investigate the associations of low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets with total and cause-specific mortality among US adults.
Design, Setting, and Participants This prospective cohort study used data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2014 from 37 233 adults 20 years or older with 24-hour dietary recall data. Data were analyzed from July 5 to August 27, 2019.
Exposures Overall, unhealthy, and healthy low-carbohydrate-diet and low-fat-diet scores based on the percentage of energy as total and subtypes of carbohydrate, fat, and protein.
Main Outcomes and Measures All-cause mortality from baseline until December 31, 2015, linked to National Death Index mortality data.
Results A total of 37 233 US adults (mean [SD] age, 49.7 [18.3] years; 19 598 [52.6%] female) were included in the present analysis. During 297 768 person-years of follow-up, 4866 total deaths occurred. Overall low-carbohydrate-diet and low-fat-diet scores were not associated with total mortality. The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios for total mortality per 20-percentile increase in dietary scores were 1.07 (95% CI, 1.02-1.11; P = .01 for trend) for unhealthy low-carbohydrate-diet score, 0.91 (95% CI, 0.87-0.95; P < .001 for trend) for healthy low-carbohydrate-diet score, 1.06 (95% CI, 1.01-1.12; P = .04 for trend) for unhealthy low-fat-diet score, and 0.89 (95% CI, 0.85-0.93; P < .001 for trend) for healthy low-fat-diet score. The associations remained similar in the stratification and sensitivity analyses.
Conclusions and Relevance In this study, overall low-carbohydrate-diet and low-fat-diet scores were not associated with total mortality. Unhealthy low-carbohydrate-diet and low-fat-diet scores were associated with higher total mortality, whereas healthy low-carbohydrate-diet and low-fat-diet scores were associated with lower total mortality.

I’m John McDonough, Professor of the Practice of Public Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and an expert on health care policy.
Between 2008 and 2010, I served as a Senior Advisor on National Health Reform to the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions where I worked on the development and passage of the Affordable Care Act. My research has appeared in Health Affairs, the New England Journal of Medicine, and other journals. And I’ve written three books, including Inside National Health Reform, published in September 2011. I recently answered questions about the book, and health care policy, as part of a Vox “book club.”
I’ll be here at 3:00 PM ET to answer your questions about the Republican alternative to the Affordable Care Act that is called the American Health Care Act. And we can talk about Monday's new estimate on the AHCA from the Congressional Budget Office.

Hello, reddit!
My name is William Mair, and I’m an assistant professor of genetics and complex diseases at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. My lab recently published a paper in Nature which, for the first time, reveals a causal link between a process known as “RNA splicing” and aging. This research sheds important light on when and how our cells deteriorate over time. Aging is a key risk factor for a variety of chronic diseases, and our lab is working to identify what’s happening at the molecular level in various organ systems that allows these diseases to occur.
What is RNA splicing? In order for bodies—and cells—to maintain youthfulness, they must also maintain proper homeostasis. At the cellular level, that means keeping the flow of biological information, from genes to RNA to proteins, running smoothly and with the right balance. While a considerable amount is known about how dysfunction at the two ends of this process—genes and proteins—can accelerate aging, strikingly little is known about how the middle part, which includes RNA splicing, influences aging. Splicing enables one gene to generate multiple proteins that can act in different ways and in disparate parts of the body.
To find this link, we designed a series of experiments in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans to probe the potential connections between splicing and aging. Because the worms’ cells are transparent we were able to use fluorescent genetic tools to visualize the splicing of a single gene in real-time throughout the aging process. After five days, some worms showed a youthful pattern of splicing while others exhibited one indicative of premature aging. We were able to use these differences in splicing (reflected fluorescently) to predict individual worms’ lifespans prior to any overt signs of old age.
We still have much more to learn about this, but the findings open up an entirely new avenue of investigation that could help us understand how to live longer and healthier.
I’ll be here to answer your questions from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM EST; Ask Me Anything!

Here’s a headline that sounds like something that a mentally ill Babylon Bee writer might come up with in the middle of an LSD induced psychotic break:
Now unfortunately, although there is indeed plenty of mental illness involved in this story, it is not satire. An apparently well known YouTube personality and creator of the Sonichu webcomic was allegedly caught on tape admitting to raping his own elderly mother, and because this monster now claims to be a woman, he is being housed with actual women in a women’s prison. The Daily Mail has more, though I must warn you that the details are extremely difficult to stomach.
”Transgender YouTuber Chris Chan, 39, was identified as female by police and will be housed with women despite being biologically male, after she was arrested for raping her mother.
”The vlogger and artist, who goes by Christine [formerly Christian] Weston Chandler, was arrested after leaked phone calls allegedly revealed her admitting to raping her mother, 79, who suffers from dementia.
”Chandler is being held in Central Virginia Regional Jail alongside 59 other detainees. She was jailed without bail on suspicion of incest, a felony punishable by up to 12 years in prison.
”Chandler is biologically male but came out as a transgender woman at the end of 2014…
”Chandler's arrest came just days after a phone call was leaked on an instant messaging platform, on which a person believed to Chandler seemingly admitted to having sex with her elderly mother, who is believed to have dementia…
”During the eight-minute conversation, Chandler apparently tells a friend that it was her mother, Barbara, who 'made the first move,' leading the two to kiss, according to the audio file, which Newsweek reported…
”As the call continues, the person said to be Chandler says that she and her mother now have a 'routine' where they have sex 'every third night', and that her mother enjoys it.”
You’ll notice how the Daily Mail has taken great care to ens
