We summarise & discuss recently published research relevant to #vegan #plantbased #animalfree diets.
🚨If you're interested in the KETO-CTA study, you may also be interested in this short book 📖. It offers: 1⃣ a sustained critique of the fringe hypothesis that LDL-C lacks clinical relevance in a subset of ketogenic dieters; 2⃣a thorough analysis of the KETO-CTA study, and;…
What on earth are you talking about? Our study found nothing of the sort. How someone could possibly draw that conclusion from our study is....astonishing.
That's a LOT of spinach and kale 😳 Would take at least a bottle of dressing to eat that many calories from leafy greens. Basing this on kcal is terrible approach. If one looks at this graph and chooses spinach salads, they could greatly under-eat protein if they think…
This is a worthwhile chart if like me, you believe that eating foods w/high complete protein to calorie ratio (CP:CR) is important for satiety and health. Aside from the mispronunciation, Seitan is one I will look into more as I generally veer toward animal based CP:CR proteins.
Another top nutrition scientist arguing in favour of plant based meat alternatives and against the UPF scare. independent.co.uk/life-style/ult…
The "ultra-processed food" mania has now reached the point where we celebrate spoilage. Presumably those people don't really care about food waste, because they can afford it. And there is still brioche for all the others ...
The problem with this book is: it contains dangerous nonsense that puts women at risk because the author lacks scientific understanding. Just claiming to be a feminist does not make up for not understanding physiology, biochemistry and food science.
Changing Coke from high fructose corn syrup to cane sugar is just like rearranging the chairs on the titanic. Good work y’all 😂😂😂
Finally got around to watching the update on the KETO-CTA cohort. Not much to say for now – I’ll take a closer look once their paper is published. Thoughts: 1⃣ Why are they focusing on relative measures, especially when several of the authors have agreed that this is…
Nice new paper from the Malmo Diet and Cancer Study finds higher intake of fiber and fruits and vegetables is associated with roughly half the risk of rheumatoid arthritis, while higher intake of red and processed meat is associated with a near doubling in risk.
There are certainly limitations in the data linking saturated fat to cardiovascular disease but here's the rub - it's the nutrition rec with the most consistent data (pretty much every line of evidence supports replacing satfat with mixed unsaturated fat sources). If you amplify…
Or you can run for 30 mins to burn 400 calories and... 1) Have more space for nutrient-rich foods 2) Not have to cut calories super low to lose weight 3) Be fit, have more stamina, and better health A good diet & exercise > one or the other.
The average person runs for 30 minutes to burn 400 calories. The smart person avoids 400 calories in 30 seconds by not eating ice cream. Prioritize diet for fat loss, not cardio.
There are two UPFs most people agree are bad for health: soft drinks and processed meat. Isn't it funny that one of the crusaders against UPF thinks processed meat is still fine (but sliced bread is dangerous)?
I think I've become convinced that veganism is, in fact, morally obligatory.
The history of bread is a great example why the UPF discussion is silly: originally, sourdough, hand kneading and whole meal flour were used. When did bread become UPF - with the use of isolated yeast? With white flour? The introduction of machines? The Z-blade? Where do we…
Starbucks - a purveyor of largely sugar-sweetened and creamy coffee beverages, baked goods, and sodium/refined grain-loaded sandwiches - has 'very clean foods' per the HHS secretary and he's asking him to get rid of canola oil.. History will look back on the misspent MAHA…

Co-ingesting whey protein with carbohydrates enhances post-exercise amino acid availability without compromising liver glycogen resynthesis Great work @sophie_hannon65 @Hearris @JamesyMorton @nathanhodson5 Read on for why this needed to be done... doi.org/10.1113/JP2884…
Why all the hate for calorie counting❓ 💬It’s simply an optional tool — one that clearly works well for many people.
Although more recent, Yamada includes fewer trials, lacks in-depth bias assessment, and presents potential conflicts of interest. Hooper et al. is methodologically stronger—more studies, GRADE-based evaluation, meta-regression, and independent governance. Reliability > recency.
Remember folks, if you don’t get the result you wanted in your study just reanalyze until you get the result you want! 😂😂😂
New presentation by Dr. Matthew Budoff on the @Heartflow analysis for Keto-CTA. This is the third analysis of the CCTA scans for our study, with the fourth and final MEDIS QAngio currently underway. @nicknorwitz, @AdrianSotoMota and I will not be commenting on these data until…
The difference between a lying, narcisstic internet grifter and an ethical, scientifically-literate researcher... 😂
This is such an incredibly misleading title: TFA, processed meat and SSB have fairly well established links with health - irrespective of processing. And processed meat often even isn't UPF, even if it contains nitrite nature.com/articles/s4159…
