This got me thinking. Here is my conclusion: CICO-pathy is a hypnotic state of absolute belief in the impossibility of inducing weight loss by increasing food intake. The actual tautology about energy balance whence the name is derived is only a deflective defense-mechanism…
It's hard to say, since I've yet to meet a CICO proponent who could consistently define CICO without slipping between different versions of the story when convenient. So you're not surprised that keto massively upregulates calories out? This would be quite the upset to…
Any clamp study would qualify, but I have not found any good study to support the use of insulin to directly increase MPS. Recommend Peter Sonksens's papers on insulin (endocrinologist who developed GH doping tests) - e.g. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11431133/
By this logic, rape isn’t “forced” if it’s at gunpoint and requires no physical restraint, because violence is threatened but not used. This is transparently absurd. All government mandates use the threat of violence. (Resist indefinitely and see where you wind up…)
Please don’t revise history. Nobody was “forced” to be vaccinated. Governments of all political stripes in Canada, and around the world made the best decisions they could to protect vulnerable people. Requirements are part of organized society. Force means use of violence. This…
Until now I thought PCSK9 inhibitors more or less just decreased LDL. Color me perplexed. So they are—rather than anti-LDL drugs—in fact just black box drugs with myriad effects? Sigh.
Please share this far and wide. As far and wide as you can. NIST Password Guidelines for 2024 are in the process of being updated. This is a HUGE pet-peeve of mine (when vendors in particular are still operating like its 2017 and keep changing passwords every 60 days, STOP DOING…
Wonder if mathematics millennia ago was like nutrition science is today. "For every level of evidence for irrational numbers to exist, there are stronger evidence for them to not exist." - Λέιν Νόρτον
Can we please ban the use of the term "evidence-based"? Thanks in advance.
Someone tell these researchers that they are denying thermodynamics!
Look, I really hate speculating about this spy-vs-spy bullshit, but it is really bothering me to see the great and the good of my tribe (Balaji, Vitalik, Roman Storm, Noelle Acheson, Josh Swihart) treating Pavel Durov as an oppressed hero. Please consider the following facts: ⤵️
Zombie theories: why so many false ideas stick around “When I talk to friends or family members who do not work in academia, they have beliefs about how science works — beliefs that appear entirely sensible. 1. Most published results are correct or at least plausible, because…
Where can I find good resources for common challenges and how they are commonly overcome regarding low-carb, especially when starting out? E.g. keto flu, keto rash. Thanks in advance. @KetoCarnivore @siobhan_huggins @raphaels7
Once again, @tednaiman resorts to name-calling and virtue signaling (#1), with an attempt at humor (#5, although it fell a bit flat, IMHO), rather than addressing the issues raised, which it appears most agree are legitimate concerns and fair criticisms And note, this response…
