Key Facts:

In 2020, low back pain (LBP) affected 619 million people globally and it is estimated that the number of cases will increase to 843 million cases by 2050, driven largely by population expansion and ageing (1).

LBP is the single leading cause of disability worldwide and the condition for which the greatest number of people may benefit from rehabilitation.

LBP can be experienced at any age, and most people experience LBP at least once in their life.

Prevalence increases with age up to 80 years, while the highest number of LBP cases occurs at the age of 50–55 years. LBP is more prevalent in women (2).

Non-specific LBP is the most common presentation of LBP (about 90% of cases).

I've included a link to recommendations for a variety of rheumatic and musculoskeletal conditions. They've made an easy to read "Lay Summary" for a variety of conditions [In Layman's terms].

For EULAR, it is essential that the dissemination of the lay versions of the recommendations reach patient organisations, as well as healthcare professionals to support patients and carers in managing their disease.

A proposed rule from the FDA—expected to be finalized in the coming weeks—will likely declare that dried fruits like cranberries and cherries can no longer be labeled "healthy."

Meanwhile, sugar-packed cereals like Honey Nut Cheerios are still allowed to proudly display health claims on their packaging, while salmon is barred from doing so on account of its fat content.

Some Greek yogurts with modest amounts of added sugar would be considered "healthy" under the FDA's new rules, but slightly sweetened cranberries would not.

Don't always blindly trust the 3-letter agencies like the FDA to have your health and wellness at heart. There is a lot of money to be made in keeping the population ill and the solutions the healthcare industry and pharmaceutical industry has for those illnesses. Choose real food over processed food every day.

The FDA’s latest nutrition rules target dried cherries and cranberries, putting small farmers at risk while offering zero benefits to consumers.
