Excellent point, and one that’s not raised enough in these conversations.
If you think I’ve made an error or am missing something, then you should be able to point it out, no?
You’re the one that used the term, not the author.
That’s not “Random Controlled Trial”. I think it’s pointless to quibble about very specific things like this, but that gets thrown out the window when someone claims “Definitions are the very basics in writing, check…
Where is it defined as "Random Controlled Trial"?
“feels more dignity getting beaten down and bullied by strangers or peers than confronting them openly or berating them publicl” is rather hyperbolic and (in my opinion) doesn’t capture what’s going on here. I think…
Lol have they seen what we do to animals for taste pleasure? It's not a question of "can we learn to shut up?", it's "will humans ever care enough to even want to learn?".
Plenty of those in tech - in fact I think it may give people unjustified confidence that they’re more rational than others. I engage with anti-science behaviours quite a lot (antivaxx, anti seed oils, etc) and the…
Have done so! It’s basically just what I said - signs point to reverse causation.
Yeah, this is a good example of what I’m talking about - you take a bunch of people at risk of diseases that lower LDL-c as a result of having that disease. They actually acknowledged that reverse causation is a risk…
I've spent enough time around keto people to invoke Poe's law on that one.
Problem with eating lots of animal fats isn't necessarily weight gain, but increased risk of ASCVD from raised LDL-c/ApoB. Can't really see/feel that until you keel over with an MI.
This is what regulation already does (quite effectively too, at least over here in the UK). We already know that harmful substances aren’t likely to be present in our foods thanks to regulatory checks. Then we’d be left…
As I understand it there's no good evidence that n3:n6 ratio matters, _as long as both are at adequate levels_. Studies showing the ratio to be of concern achieve a "low n3:n6 ratio" by low n3, rather than high n6. Eggs…
No worries! Nutravita vegan omega 3 or my protein vegan omega 3 plus both have DHA and EPA and are the best value I've found in my travels. While the per-pill dose is lower in the MP stuff, if you wait for a sale and…
There is zero evidence in that article, or anywhere else that I’ve seen for that matter, that omega 6 is harmful. The evidence provided there would perhaps suggest that omega 3s are beneficial, but that’s about it.
Depending on where you source your omegas from, potentially zero impact! To be clear my preference would be to source n3s from algal supplements and, once food safety testing for humans is complete, n3s from GM…
Sure, because both are true (although that 0.08% is only over 8 years of known omega 3 consumption - as timescales increase the absolute risk moves towards the relative risk). That 0.08% reduction would mean…
Just get an omega 3 supplement that has a good amount of DHA and EPA. There’s not as much evidence to support it as there is to support eating fish, but that’s more due to a dearth of research on the subject than…
I’m not aware of any compelling evidence that the n3:n6 ratio actually matters as long as you’re meeting the absolute required levels of each. There was a big push for this hypothesis in the 2010s, but on closer…
There’s a good pod on this exact subject with nutrition scientists: https://sigmanutrition.com/episode538/ The TL;DR (IIRC) is that we tend to only see this in trials where atrial fib is a tertiary endpoint so there’s…
There’s essentially no evidence that the degree of ultraprocessing affects a food’s healthfulness. There are tenuous and broad associations between UPF content of a diet and health outcomes, but these are based on…
Yeah, IMO there’s a continuum between lean meats that I’d classify as relatively middle-of-the-road healthwise (like chicken), and processed red meat (pretty adverse health outcomes even from small amounts), and the…
UPF meat substitutes do tend to be healthier than their meat-based equivalent (see the SWAP-MEAT trial, for example).
Eating mostly plants does not mean one has to have protein deficiency. Seitan, tofu, tempeh, TVP, etc etc. All plant based, all high protein.
