This is a good example of how many of the anti meat and fat nutrition studies are conducted.
Antidepressants vs. parachutes? In 2018, the prestigious medical journal BMJ published a sensational study. Researchers set out to test whether parachutes reduce the risk of death when jumping from an aircraft. In other words, is the parachute necessary? The study design was…
Here is one of many showing the inadequacy of plant protein, even the WHO says animal protein is better. In order to get a comparable amount of protein in tofu, lets say 30g in a meal you have to eat 514 calories, 20 carbs worth of tofu compared to 197 calories and 0 carbs for…
USA food recommendations have been bad since 1916 and became worse over time.
Meet Luise Light. She was the USDA's lead nutritionist tasked with creating America's eating guide. Her original pyramid: 5-9 servings of fruits & veggies, 3-4 grains, processed junk at the tiny top. Then the lobbyists showed up.
Several of the authors in that study at the AHA have conflicts of interests tieing them to processed foods and seed oil business. The AHA started with funding from Proctor and Gamble an dseveral of their largest donors have connections to UPF, seed oils and medicine. The AHA…
What happens when you propose dietary guidelines without evidence? You may spend 50 years giving sub-optimal advice... Example: 1st American Diabetes Association Guidelines 1971: "There no longer appears to be any need to restrict...the intake of carbohydrates in the diet of…
Mark Hegsted, Professor of Nutrition at Harvard Public Health School, was secretly paid by a sugar trade group to try to discredit evidence linking sucrose to coronary heart disease. He never disclosed the payment (equivalent of $48,000 in 2016 dollars). jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…
Comment to the vegan troll. Even cattle can't absorb b12 from grass properly, they consume the cobalt in grass and their digestion system converts it to highly absorbable b12 (for humans) in their meat. The cobalt you referenced is only used on the feed lot when cattle eat more…
What a sad state nutrition and medical science is in.
A 2020 paper showed that of 500 randomized controlled trials analyzed, half contained fake data and a quarter were purely fabricated ("zombie trials"). These are the "gold-standard" studies on which clinical guidelines are formulated. Medical science is infested by fraud.
Thread: Why are most carbon footprint estimates for livestock products so massive? In short: because they are based on a faulty methane calculation. EAT Lancet, Starbucks, Impossible Burger etc are drastically overestimating GHG from livestock and here is why. /1
The NEW Microbial Molecule Linking Diabetes and Heart Disease (🔗 in 7/7) 1/7) What if one molecule, made by the bacteria in your gut, could quietly sabotage your blood sugar and clog your arteries? Meet “imidazole propionate” (ImP) a microbial molecule made by gut that is…
Polyp Prevention Trial of 8 yrs, Low-fat, high-fiber, fruit/veg diet vs. higher meat intake No benefit. HR = 1.09 [95% CI: 0.98–1.22] PMID: 17855692 WHI Trial Low-fat, plant-heavy diet in postmenopausal women No reduction in colorectal cancer incidence. PMID: 16467232 CAPP2…
@bigfatsurprise , @upRootNutrition I started looking up Nick and his website and found a podcast he did with @SBakerMD. I almost feel bad posting this now as Nick clearly is struggling with mental health issues. He should absolutely not be taken seriously, here is a link to a…
You are just a troll. Here is a list of USA food recommendations and guidelines going back to 1916. It is clear to see for any rationally thinking person to see that it is not based on biology and science and is based on misguided information in the nutrition "sciences". All the…
Why is it that calorie restriction makes us hungry and carbohydrate restriction doesn't, and yet they both induce weight loss? There's a simple answer and then there's a thoughtful answer. Which is right has profound implications. The Curious Lessons of Calorie Restriction…
The Big Fat Surprise was an eye opening book and greatly helped me understand the epidemic of quality studies being touted as science fact.
Demonization of saturated fats is OVER. Time to stop fixating on them. @NIHDirector_Jay and @NIH should take note that we don't need any more studies of these fats. The hypothesis that saturated fat causes heart disease, dating from the late 1950s, has been tested in more than…
As a university professor, I'm often asked to review manuscripts submitted for publication on the topic of cholesterol, which means I've achieved a level of respect on the science of CVD by medical journal editors. Here is a recent review of mine (journal name/authors/paper title…
Short Digest with Call to Action: You Can Tell the Journal Your Thoughts. Will the Paper Get Retracted? 👇🔗 A recent study (published 5 day ago) claims ketogenic diets increase cancer risk—but their “most ketogenic” group ate 181g of carbs daily, roughly 12 slices of bread.…
A paper was recently published titled, “Ketogenic Diets are Associated with Elevated Risk for All Cancers.” Grab your popcorn—scratch that, your pork rinds—because this study is so comically bad, it's more entertaining than alarming. Let’s dive in. 🚨Here’s the first red flag:…
Bold New Study Title: "Ketogenic Diets Are Associated with an Elevated Risk for All Cancers" Yet, the lowest average carb intake was 180g/day. 😣
