🔔After it being a LONG time in the works, today we launch "Applied Nutrition Literacy", a course that Dr. Alan Flanagan and I have developed. 📊The goal: To help you become competent and confident in your critical appraisal of nutrition research. See: nutritionliteracy.podia.com
MANDATORY VIEWING - @theproof with surgical precision totally amputates the nonsensical @JACCJournals paper "Plaque Begets Plaque." If one is on a Keto diet and apoB goes thru the roof - PLEASE get off of it ASAP.Y Your arteries are developing (at a rate rarely seen) the…
With respect, this response reveals a lack of understanding of power analysis, and a lack of familiarity with the CIM. The CIM predicts lowered postprandial glucose, dipping after 3-4h, drives subjective hunger and the elevated intake. See Ludwig et al 2021 in AJCN.
New episode w/ @scottvharding where we discuss: - how fructose is metabolized - why it gained a reputation for being problematic - what the evidence actually says about its health effects --> sigmanutrition.com/episode570/ Available on all podcast platforms.
The difference between a lying, narcisstic internet grifter and an ethical, scientifically-literate researcher... 😂
📢Enrollment closes this Friday! If you care about evidence but don't feel completely confident when interpreting nutrition studies, this is the course for you. Master the skills needed to confidently navigate the complex world of nutrition research. 👉 nutritionliteracy.podia.com
In the latest episode I talk with Dr. David Horner, one of the authors of a recently published study looking at the potential impact of maternal diet on ADHD and ASC risk in children. Really interesting design and execution. Enjoy! sigmanutrition.com/episode568/
📢Enrollment now open! If you care about evidence but still hesitate when interpreting studies, this was built for you. This course helps you stop relying on headlines, summaries, or second-hand takes, and instead to start trusting your own analysis. 👉 nutritionliteracy.podia.com
Enrollment open until July 4th. If you're ready to move beyond surface-level understanding and think rigorously about nutrition science, join us on this next cohort. Become truly confident & competent in your critical appraisal skills. Syllabus & FAQs: nutritionliteracy.podia.com
If you are interested on the history of dietary guidelines, including often mentioned industry influence, this is essential listening from @NutritionDanny and Alan Flanagan of Sigma Nutrition. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sig…
This is a tremendous video by @theproof I find it hard to imagine someone watching this in good faith and not agreeing that the Keto CTA, and its utterly dishonest communication, was anything but an embarrassment. youtube.com/watch?v=FkdsOx…
We just published a critical review of the KETO-CTA study — the first study to examine coronary plaque progression in Lean Mass Hyper-Responders (LMHRs) on a ketogenic diet. Here’s why we believe the study’s results have been seriously misrepresented. 1/14

With people like Norwitz fronting the low-carb movement, its future looks bleak. I don’t know anyone attacking others so visciously, while taking zero responsibility for his own mistakes. Even blaming the journal for glaring omissions in his own paper.
Some matters deserve clarification: 1) In our LTE we provide criticism that the original research team pivoted off their original pre-registered primary outcome. This did, in fact, happen. Layne needs to do his homework before commenting. 2) @BioLayne is still clearly sore that…
Thanks for your review of our paper. I think it contains some rather misleading statements. First, at no point did we ever use the word 'debunk'. We made a legitimate test of the CIM and the totality of the data we collected did not support it. 1/
1/4) A few months ago, in March 2025, a randomized controlled trial was published that claimed to debunk the Carbohydrate Insulin Model (CIM). In this study, 120 lean young adults (mean BMI 21-22) were assigned to one of three meals that varied in glycemic index (GI). All diets…

On KETO-CTA by @drjohnm “…on the authors’ messaging. It’s been egregious and antiscientific... I don’t know what the solution is for this behavior, but I oppose it in the strongest terms.” medscape.com/viewarticle/no…

This is embarrassing- cringe level embarrassing. Wow
Part 1 of 2 on the Keto-Cardiac study airs tom on #HealthcareUnfiltered - I host @realDaveFeldman @nicknorwitz & Dr. Sotom 2 discuss why the study was started, its findings, what's the controversy, & its implications. Next week @drjohnm joins the show offering an opposing view.
Great piece, although seed oil zealotry seems more concentrated in the anti camp imo. For those enduring souls not yet exhausted by the topic @NutritionDanny has a nice recent pod on the topic. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sig… @NutritionMadeS3 @ZKForTre @upRootNutrition @GladstoneB81859
