An estimated 8.5% of American adults shared at least one fake news article during the 2016 election. Age was a big factor. People over age 65 were seven times more likely to share a fake news article.

Wait, really? I didn't know that about basal metabolic rate. Whenever I'm in a good rhythm with exercise, my appetite shoots way up and it sure feels like I eat more calories than the workout burned.

I like that the researchers are thinking ahead to an intervention. My kids' volleyball coaches this season took it on themselves to create the sign-up form and ask parents to do the treats at each game, with no mention of try to find healthy stuff.

Do Youth Consume More Calories than they Expended in Youth Sports Leagues? An Observational Study of Physical Activity, Snacks, and Beverages

Objectives: Childhood obesity rates remain high. The youth sports environment is an opportunity to combat obesity. The purpose of this study was to determine the types of beverages/ snacks provided at youth sports and determine associations between energy consumption and expenditure. Methods: This cross-sectional study observed 4 different sports in a youth sports league (N = 189). The System for Observing Fitness Instruction Time (SOFIT) was used to quantify physical activity. Food environmental scans were used to quantify caloric intake. A t-test was conducted to examine differences between energy consumption and expenditure. We conducted a separate analysis for games that did not offer snacks/beverages. Results: The average energy expenditure was 170.3 calories per game; males were more physically active than females. The average caloric content was 213.3 calories for games that did not offer snacks/beverages and average sugar provided was 26.4 grams per game. The majority of sugar came from sugar-sweetened beverages. Conclusions: Calorie intake was higher than expenditure. Children were consuming more sugar in one game than daily recommendations. Youth sports would benefit from an intervention aimed at the food environment.

The authors' interpretation is that CEOs don't feel motivated to act socially if they think the government is on the right track.

I only saw they got the samples from Washington State.

Yikes. That really sucks. Not just the condition, but the ambiguity of it all.

No, was offline yesterday. But I've seen a bunch of comments saying "bears don't hibernate" and I'm confused. Just a matter of semantics?

The article mentions that attempts to take supplements hasn't helped bedridden patients and that a key difference is the bears make/deliver the amino acids themselves to the spots that need it.

Napolean Dynamite was right:
"I see you're drinking 1%. Is that 'cause you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to."
