Recently, a study made headlines linking red meat consumption to an increased risk for type 2 diabetes. It’s no secret that navigating the realm of nutrition has become a challenge for the general public. 

That’s why, on today’s Health Bites episode, we’re diving deep into the findings from this study, “Red meat intake and risk of type 2 diabetes in a prospective cohort study of United States females and males,” published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. I unpack the study’s design flaws, inaccuracies, and where the researchers got it straight up wrong.

Tiffany Masterson was a stay-at-home mom in her 40s when she launched her skin care brand, Drunk Elephant, in 2013. Six years later, she sold it for $845 million to the Japanese beauty giant Shiseido. Just six years! And she did it all with little to no experience in skin care, retail, or business. The professional branding and skin care world thought she was making huge mistakes: They panned her brand's name, product design, and strategy of focusing on only one high-end retailer. But Tiffany proved them wrong with great strategic instincts, incredible determination, and an unwavering belief in her products - and herself.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, two black teens burned a white man to death and the media all but completely ignored the story. Meanwhile, an attack on massage parlors in Atlanta is being desperately linked to white supremacy despite a total lack of evidence for the connection. Plus, Five Headlines including the State Department battling the scourge of “entrenched whiteness,” Ron Desantis battling the much more serious scourge of Critical Race Theory, and a GoFundMe for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle somehow fails to gain traction. In our Daily Cancellation, we’ll deal with an article in the Scientific American which tries to debunk the case for banning males from female sports. Does it succeed?
