Almost one-third of government appointees to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) leave to take jobs in private industry, according to a study by the USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics and Harvard University.

The share of appointees leaving for industry jobs did not vary by political party of the appointing president, though Republicans were more likely to appoint people directly from industry, according to the study.

Growing evidence supports the protein leverage hypothesis as a significant mechanism driving obesity, study findsGrowing evidence supports the protein leverage hypothesis as a significant mechanism driving obesity, study findsHumans, like many other species, regulate protein intake more strongly than any other dietary component and so if protein is diluted there is a compensatory increase in food intake.
