I’m keynoting the launch of the 2022-2023 Dr. Rogers Prize at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre, 1000 Burrard Street, 6:00 pm reception, my talk is at 7:00 pm. I’m not getting the $250,000 prize (alas), I’m just celebrating it. It’s for a Canadian doing complementary and alternative medicine.

New York City’s tough anti-soda campaign
I just got off a subway car adorned with posters advertising the New York City Health Department’s “Are you pouring on the pounds?” campaign. They are riveting.
They make a simple point, but one that is not always understood: Soft drinks contain sugar, and lots of it.
Lots of sugar—all those packets—will make you fat.
The campaign also includes a tough video.
New York City’s Health Department is taking on the city’s high rates of heart disease and type 2 diabetes in every way it can.
Take a look. What do you think? Will this work?
