Dietitian Questions Healthfulness of the Mediterranean Diet
Finance
September 3, 2022 · 7:27 AM Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com Shana Spence, RD, wrote at Self.com: The Mediterranean diet is constantly lauded in the nutrition world—in fact, US News has named it the “best diet overall” for five years straight—but as a registered dietitian, I think it’s time to think about it a little differently: It’s time to dethrone the Mediterranean diet as being the very best way to eat. Now, the Mediterranean diet—which emphasizes whole grains and plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, tree nuts, seeds, and olives, and limits red meat, sugar, and saturated fat—is not…

US Life Span Falling Behind Our Peer Countries
Finance
March 6, 2023 · 7:29 AM From NPR: The average life expectancy for Americans is shortened by over seven months [in 2021]according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That decrease follows an already big decline of 1.8 years in 2020. As a result, the expected life span of someone born in the US is now 76.4 years — the shortest it has been in nearly two decades. But we still have the best healthcare system in the world, right? Not if you judge it by life expectancy. From Health System Tracker: Life expectancy in the…

“Dr. Doom” Roubini Expects a ‘Long, Ugly’ Recession and Stocks Sinking 40%
Finance
(Bloomberg) — Economist Nouriel Roubini, who correctly predicted the 2008 financial crisis, sees a “long and ugly” recession in the US and globally occurring at the end of 2022 that could last all of 2023 and a sharp correction in the S&P 500 .

Two Hospitals Fined for Violation of Medicare’s Price Transparency Law
Finance
September 15, 2022 · 7:00 AM Not the offending hospital I’ve long been an advocate for price transparency in healthcare. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (aka CMS) has recently taken action that requires hospitals to post their prices online, which should boost competition and help you shop around to save money. If memory serves, the price posting only applies to a limited number of services. I presume the rare hospitals that don’t accept Medicare and Medicaid payments are exempt. From MedPage Today: This week [June 2022], CMS handed down their first penalties to two hospitals in Georgia for…
