Well, unfortunately his overall credibility was hurt because he joined a popular Hollywood cult. But what he said about drugs for kids and youth was right.

@paulietv2162 It certainly could. Those are crucial years. They do not decide your fate but they make change later in life more challenging. Don't you have challenges from childhood? If not, lucky you. Most of us do.

I am SO sorry! Everyone in my family was harmed by medical mistakes, seriously harmed. Those ten years are crucial, but I swear to you that you can overcome them. It may take 1.5 to 2 years for every one of those years, but I know you can overcome it. I do research daily on nutrition, from solid, peer-reviewed studies from major journals, and the knowledge they have today compared to twenty years ago is enormous. You can find a path. Same is true for viral illnesses.

@paulietv2162 Strong people know when to ask for advice or sympathy. They do that whenever they need to, but not every time they think they want to.

@luiscrawford1249 Doctors assume you want a quick fix and that you're incapable of following a diet, an exercise plan, and so forth. The real reason they assume that you can't is because they figure you have no one to do it with you. A truly depressed person does need a loving family member to get them started. Who's going to cook for you and with you, and take you out to walk in nature for six weeks? (Well, after what we've just been through, a lot of people!!)

@Rick Vis Few people thrive on "a ton of whole milk." It can even increase risk of various serious illnesses. Please be careful in handing out advice.

@to8860 The study he cites as being the strongest to date is a meta analysis. By definition, it reviews all the other studies and draws solid conclusions. By definition, that means that people were looking at the issue and getting results, but there weren't enough studies to draw a conclusion.

@Balthorium It means you can't trust him in general. But it doesn't mean he was wrong about this. Case by case.

@danielch6662 True. And in this excerpt, he's right.

What a shame that he joined a cult that hurt his credibility and caused others to mistrust the true things he said.

I agree that a woman is an adult female human being. If gender dysmorphia requires treatment (it does, if only psychotherapy and nothing more), and if insurance should pay (it should), then it is a medical condition. It is not the ordinary state of affairs. The surgeries sometimes needed to treat it are not "cosmetic." I don't see other possibilities.

@paulietv2162 No. You spend your time going after anyone who you imagine is dealing with their trauma or their medical issues in an inferior way to how you have dealt with yours. Yes, childhood nutrition lays a foundation for adult morphology and metabolism via epigenetics, among other things, but it does not decide a person's fate. It creates challenges.

@paulietv2162 Well . . . I don't know how many times you've faced death, "snowflake," but . . . Well, you're right. Futility. You don't care whether anyone has a nice day, nor is it your "duty." Just bag it up and go.

@jagdtiger9287 Exactly. I know from experience.

@Rick Vis Well, it's remarkable how many diseases are associated with drinking full-fat milk into adulthood. Of course this will not apply to everyone, and no this isn't based on some fad diet. It's solid research done mostly within the last ten to fifteen years. We don't have a mechanism, actually; we only have statistical tendencies. By definition they will not apply to everyone. But the statistics are strong enough to think twice, and not to make a blanket suggestion. If a person is young and has tried everything else and the milk tastes good to them and agrees with them ("listening to your body" is real), then try it, sure. Why not? I'd be careful to suggest it as a general strategy, though.

@Rick Vis I'm talking about very recent studies, and those mostly show no difference based on fat content. I know that was once believed to be the issue, but it generally is not found to be. There's even research showing kids benefit from the fat profile of milk from grass-fed cows as opposed to grain-fed, and recommended not limiting it beyond what's just reasonable. One example in adults is a very large breast cancer study. (I hated to say it, what a hot-button topic!) The results were significant. In fact, one hypothesis was that women who drink other vaious "milks" such as soy or almond, have lower rates exactly because they substituted soy, etc., for dairy milk. Bottom line, the dairy industry, the beef industry, etc., have all propagandized us. I still remember when my family was duped into substituting CORN oil for olive oil. How pathetic. So, we fell for something, too. I can hardly believe it. At least we got rid of iceburg lettuce and had real salads as soon as they showed up in stores.

@Rick Vis I know for sure dairy in Europe is very different. I never knew what butter was until I had Normandy butter. The various yogurts, kefirs, and cheeses are great for most people. I wouldn't eat American butter.
1
@Rick Vis Not the only example! I wasn't saying a man is likely to get that. It's simply the first study that comes to mind.

@mitchjames9350 Of course push. Never invite.
