Interesting graph on Saturated Fat consumption vs. CHD
This video has an interesting graph on the effect of saturated fat on Cardiovascular disease:
This is based on this study. About 85% of the way down is "Figure 6" which is similar...

We're all confused about Red Meat. Here's Why.

I knew a preacher who dismissed all of science because it always uses qualified statements like, "The evidence would suggest that ...". This is because science is rarely settled, Science is subject to change as new information becomes available. So the preacher thought that science doesn't really know anything.
I look at science in terms of probability. Trans fats are associated with a higher risk of heart disease. It doesn't mean that it is the same for everyone or that it is proven, although the evidence is strong enough that we could look at this as a fact.
People can't know everything, so as a rule people just take the best information available to them.

Worse Than Asbestos? | Dr. Scott McMahon & Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker
My only concern here is that the health claims need to be backed up by duplicatable peer-reviewed research.

Depending upon self-reporting might not be completely accurate, but the advice given here seems reasonable.
Many factors can lead to ill health, and one variable alone isn't going to control it.

New Evidence Suggests Long COVID Could Be a Brain Injury
'As part of the preprint study, participants took a cognition test with their scores age-matched to those who had not suffered a serious bout of COVID-19. Then a blood sample was taken to look for specific biomarkers, showing that elevated levels of certain biomarkers were consistent with a brain injury. Using brain scans, researchers also found that certain regions of the brain associated with attention were reduced in volume.
Patients who participated in the study were "less accurate and slower" in their cognition, and suffered from at least one mental health condition, such as depression, anxiety, or posttraumatic stress disorder, according to researchers.
The brain deficits found in COVID-19 patients were equivalent to 20 years of brain aging and provided proof of what doctors have feared: that this virus can damage the brain and result in ongoing mental health issues.
"We found global deficits across cognition,"'

My COVID-19 experience
I am seeing some improvement. My experience with COVID-19 has been like a mild cold changing to a moderate cold, then to a severe cold, and finally back to a mild cold on the 5th day. It appears that the Paxlovid has helped. I am told that without it this can drag on for much longer.

COVID-19
I thought I would be immune because I am fully vaccinated, but the dominant JN-1 variant has a slightly different spike protein, sometimes bypassing vaccine immunity. The latest vaccine was supposed to offer some protection from this variant.
Yesterday, I had trouble getting Paxlovid because my pharmacy was sold out. I had to go to three different pharmacies to get it. I took my first dose last night and my second dose this morning. I have eight more doses to go.
Paxlovid is supposed to stop the virus from replicating, which would be very nice. Any virus will grow exponentially until your immune system kicks in and starts destroying the virus. The Paxlovid might help the immune system to win the war.
Yesterday, on my second day of COVID-19, I felt like I had a bad cold and could not get anything productive done. I went to sleep at 10:30 which is early for me. I woke at 5:00 AM feeling fully rested but wishing I had gotten more sleep. I got up for a couple of hours, but when I started to feel tired I went back to bed. I didn't think that I would be able to go back to sleep, but I got just enough of a nap to make me feel better.
I can tell that there is a battle going on in my body. Either the immune system will win, or the virus will. So far, I feel better today than yesterday, so maybe my immune system is working.

Chinese create COVID-19 strain kills 100% of infected humanized mice
This should be illegal.
Maybe the reason we don't find evidence of extraterrestrials is that advanced civilizations inevitably wipe themselves out. Maybe the temptation to open Pandora's box is too strong.

Sugar Alcohols Ruined My Health: Learn from My Mistakes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5v61YtDYo4
I haven't noticed sugar-alcohols in very many products. I have occasionally bought no-sugar-added pies that contain sugar-alcohols, and they give me gas, but as long as I eat them in moderation, I am fine. Too much can have a laxative effect.

Massive Outbreak, more and more people pass away suddenly/Even CCP feels too difficult to cover up

Many pandemics have originated in China due to high population and crowding, along with proximity to bats and other wildlife.
