Supplemental Table 5 Lists Lipid Levels for the whole LCHF cohort of 2,034 participants. LDL-C levels were 3.71 mmol/l vs 3.62 mmol/l in the SD group. That’s a difference of 0.09, which can be converted to mg/dl by multiplying by 38.67. 0.09 * 38.67 = 3.48 mg/dl. Absolute mean levels of ApoB were 1.06 g/L and 1.03 g/L in the LCHF and SD groups, respectively.
For interest - and because I know the question will arise - TG mean levels in the LCHF cohort were 133 mg/dl in the LCHF group and 137 mg/dl in the SD group.
A point I do not make in the video regarding the JACC Advances paper, but that's worth considering, is that when they restrict analysis to subjects who completed at least 2 dietary questionnaires (Supplemental Table 7C), covering at least 2 days of eating (rather than 1), between group significance disappears, p = 0.34 (aHR CI: 0.49 - 8.14). This is likely due to decrease in power, but is nevertheless notable.
With respect to my comment on the macronutrient profile of a Burger King Whopper and Fries, Nutritionix lists the following macronutrient profile(s):
Whopper: 680 kCal, 40g fat, 55g total carbohydrate, 4g fiber, 35g protein
Medium Fries: 328 kCal, 15g fat, 45g total carbohydrate, 3.4g fiber, 3.8g protein
Math:
55g fat * 9 Cal/g + 92.6g net carbohydrate*4 Cal/g + 38.8g protein*4 Cal/g =
495 Cal fr Fat + 370.4 Cal fr Carbs + Cal + 155.2 Cal fr Pro
%Cal Carbs using Cal reported = 370.4 Cal / (1008 Cal) = 36.7%
* using the Cal sum from macros, which can and usually do vary slightly, the denominator is adjusted to 1020.6 Cal, and the %Cal Carbs is 36.3%

I love your content, man! You're one the best out there and really know your stuff. Keep up the great work! You're helping humanity move into a more positive direction and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your content!!
I appreciate that! Very kind 😍
First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win! Where is keto on this scale right now?
Fighting 🥊
Winning
Winner, winner.. Beef dinner!😂
@@moiragoldsmith7052 Can it be an A5 Kobe?
Whoops
We studied 10000 people over the age of 75 who sleep daily between 3 and 12 hours, within 20 years 95% had died! Sleep kills!
Exactly!
😂😂😂
Interesting analogy

Clearly the trick is to sleep less than 3 hours a day!
The phrase "Follow the money" should be gold-plated and presented to every medical graduate on their graduation day.
When can I get some... Boston real estate is crazy
I'd advise every person to follow the money whenever an external entity is trying to convince you or your family to follow some major recommendation.
Can we apply this phrase to chiropractors on UA-cam promoting sketchy dietary advice while passively mentioning their books?
What do you do for work? You're probably part of some cabal to prop up that industry with lies as well. OR! You know things about your industry and work that outsiders don't, and perhaps I don't know enough about your work to make any credible comments.
@@rpearce25 My career path is still developing. Doing my "conventional" Oxford PhD and Harvard MD has been eye opening. I would say "you can trust me," but I think actions speak louder. So, follow me and decide for yourself if I'm trustworthy
My wife used to work for UCLA’s dept of psychology. Her boss released a paper that she had to edit in which there was a total lie in its conclusion. She brought it up and got pushback. She decided to leave the department a bit in disgust that a notable researchers would doctor their data to force a conclusion. Why is the medical industry like this?!? It doesn’t need to be this way. Keep up your Awesome work!
Because you can't get a Mercedes if you don't.
My time as a grad student exposed me to a mess of published papers that obscured their actual results in order to clearly rather than only somewhat support the ideas being advocated. I don’t think it’s gotten better.
To tell the truth may risk your tenure. It's all about self preservation..follow the money!
They like money better than making the pt the primary goal regardless what medical institution is stated. All of them care about the money even the top 5 oncology centers or less.
I received a flu shot, was bit my a mosquito, and got into a car accident on the way home. I've concluded that the mosquito caused the car accident.
Maybe your car got bit too and got malaria?
Clearly it was the flu shot. 😉
My cat is in complete agreement but feels there may have been chipmunk complicity
Dude that sounds bad, I'd get a measuring tape out and check how long yr shlong is, mosquito and flu shot car crashes are the leading cause of shrinking duck syndrome. The only cure is Paleo diet heavy on the lamb.

The ammount of distrust sown by the Medical establishment over past 4 years has made me pretty much ingore any headline they push.
Especially the Lancet.
Covid amplified medical profession distrust. What a mess!
We have learned a lot about data distortion over the past four years.
I have read a lot of abstracts in my field of arboriculture, never have I seen this kind of distortion or a least this level of distortion. The more provocative the title the closer we may want to look at the entire paper. Thanks Nick for this great dissection of the data.👍🏻
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have learned a lot from your channel and appreciate you. Started a carnivore diet in December 2023, feel much better and lost 40 pounds. Getting rid of the high calorie low nutrition foods has been awesome
Glad you're feeling well! Would love to see more research on carnivore.
I started August 8, 2024, and lost 40 lbs and 8 inches off my waist line! Haven’t had a gout attack since! I’m 77 years old! Knowledge is power! Staying on my lifestyle, with no problems, except from my wife, that thinks I’m killing my self, by not eating enough fruits and vegetables! She doesn’t do research of health issues, she believes her doctors! I’m starting to make her nervous, because of my results! She eats what she thinks is right, and so do I !
Spectacular presentation. Your pacing was great here too. I sure wish this type of material had been available when I did medical school. Bowing in respect!
This is so sweet! Thank you :)

Journal studies in residency can improve critical reading skills. You should have learned about study types and types of biases for USMLE Step 3.
Using critical thinking helps you see issues more clearly in your clinical practice.
God bless you.
@@innovationinaction5406
Tell me more about critical thinking. I would like to know more.
Absolutely agree that it was exceptionally well done, every word. So I would like to give you some other topics to handle to see what excellent approach you will apply. I have been T1D for 43 years and have studied supplements for a long time and also did work to help promote a heart disease doctor's approach with alternate therapies as I am a person who leans toward the naturopathic approach. So I have read a lot on this topic. But the topics I would like to suggest to you are different from this topic, so won't mention them here to muddy the waters. I am just certain you would do a very good video on them....and the world needs your help on these topics.
Every Health Practitioner should watch this video .
Wouldn’t mind that 😂
Excellent! Needs to be understood far and wide. And you are so right. This is not just about this particular topic. It concerns all research. Everyday people don't have the time to take these deep dives. They want to read a headline and consider themselves informed. And biased research and media take full advantage of that.
"Holding data to a high bar of integrity" beautifully said..
Thank you
I am glad things like UA-cam gave us an easy term to describe this phenomenon - "click bait." Whatever your motive, people want to be significant and be noticed. That first study is a good example. The title should be, "Fat diabetics have higher rates of heart disease." That won't get you noticed and is likely to just draw a reaction of duh. I don't know that there is a solution. There is so much information and so little time.
So you’re saying the JACC study is click bait? I agree
I will admit many times I don’t understand a lot of what you say and sometimes just get the gist, but you are right about trust. These studies are often skewed and that makes people tune out or go nuts with the skewed information. It’s much like listening to the media in that many times it’s what they leave out that changes the story to lean a certain way. It is hard to know who to trust. I appreciate your knowledge. I have always been careful and proactive with my diet, but recently wanted to tune it up since I have a family history of diabetes in my family members. I have skirted it so far thanks goodness and want to keep it that way. I have been interested in learning more about keto. Your channel is a go to for me in an ocean of gurus and misinformation coming and going. Great channel.
You hit the accountability head on the nail. We need to call these poorly designed and reported studies out and not let them get away with it. Data should not be allowed to be misconstrued, misreported or be misunderstood.
Science should always be about the truth and that is what the public demands and should expect from science. Those that cheat or manipulate should be held accountable in the public realm. Apologies and corrections should be demanded.
Hey Nick, it's all about the power that comes from "It's not what we know but what we think we know". This can have more control of our decision making than we would prefer 🤔
I appreciate some of the lengths you've taken to try and present the facts and avoid any misrepresentations in your talks.
Keep up the good work.😊
That you very much Rodney.
Keto goes against the vegan narrative.
Not really
@@nicknorwitzPhD ye really.
I'm no vegan but vegan as presented by mcdougall makes sense.
I love all your detailed, cognitive, analytic discourse challenges to these “studies”; one HUGE problem is that , in general, people don’t read at all and are not interested in digging deep, learning the truth or simply question the validity of what they ‘hear’ ; thus I greatly appreciate your focused attempts to challenge the establishment 😊
"in general, people don’t read at all and are not interested in digging deep" - true... but what % of viewers do you think read this paper? What % of those do you think went to the supplement? What % could understand? What can we expect of people?
@@nicknorwitzPhD I think these days most people want the "quick fix" and sadly won't go much farther than the few sentences past a headline. % who will read this sort of paper? Maybe med students, maybe people concerned with their own health.... lots of maybes.
@@nicknorwitzPhD of course, it’s hard to tell BUT I’d hope that most of your subscribers will at least click on it 😂😂😂😂😂 now, understanding it is a bit more difficult 😅 I’m fortunate that I hold a science degree and I come from a family of doctors 😄😄☺️☺️ so I always steer towards these kinds of discussions; statistically speaking, less than 66% of Americans say they have read ONE book in the past year 😩😩😩🙀🙀🙀🙀 let alone scientific articles; but let’s not dismay 🤩🤩🤩 with channels like yours, my optimism rises 😄😄😄😄🤓🤓🤓
Intellectual integrity is what all reasearchers should aim at, helas an objective for the few. Keep on this path ❤
I will :).

smoking is such a huge confounder by itself that smokers should be omitted by default, same with type 2 diabetes really
If T2 and obesity was excluded, they wouldn't have enough participants.
Pretty much every study could be titled 'Fat people get sick and die more often'. With being fat as the primary symptom of many issues.
If you have overcome obesity and rebalanced your macros, you are 80% toward optimum health, and have better health than 80% of people.
After that, the top 20% lament they are not specifically studied, and argue about the optimum recipe for human health.
However the vegan diet should not be considered in the healthy category. It is protein and animal nutrient deficient. We are not ruminants.
Vegetarian can be OK since it is supported by some key animal foods.
Omni should be OK.. except the lack of restriction leads to foods we like to eat displacing foods we should eat and limiting health.
I thought low carb people didn't believe in epidemiology. How can you say smoking is bad?
Just needs the right caveating. Absolute % smoker delta was relatively small... still, in the broader context of the study, concerning and - I felt - definitely downplayed.
@@rpearce25 there is more evidence on the effects of smoking than just epidemiology, also the epidemiological incident rates reported are massive compared to any other signal. We are talking about orders of magnitude difference, even multiple orders compared to things like LDL-C.
@@nicknorwitzPhD I'm not sure caveating is enough, smoking itself is such a huge and variable signal that it's difficult to isolate / adjust for.
I love the fact you look into this stuff and call them out on it. They probably think people aren't smart enough to go through their claims, so well done mate, good work, keep it up 👊😎
Certainly... my pleasure.
Do not know you. But low carb diet helped me lost 40 lb without starving and strenuous exercise. I am not pre diabetes any more. I only trust my own experience. Good luck!
Did you watch the video? Seems like - maybe - you think I'm saying something I'm not... I may be saying the opposite of what you concluded from the thumbnail...
Another gem. The GOAL is confusion. One of the favorite tools of the PharMedical industry.
Someone very close to me said I was going to die early on low carb. I spent weeks researching the legitimacy of this and now I appreciate how much disinfo is out there. Thanks for this essential balance.
lot's of bad data... stay tuned for an upcoming video on the keto makes your cells undergo senescence paper...
If they've had the stabby jabby, then you will most definitely outlive them.
FUD?
@@NiceLoki Fear Uncertainty and Doubt. I had to look it up, and also senescence and found this on Science Daily: 4 days ago - New research finds that a continuous, long-term ketogenic diet may induce senescence, or aged, cells in normal tissues, with particular implications for heart and kidney function.
I truly appreciate all of your work, both on social media and academia. As someone who eats low carb for stomach related issues, but also very aware of what the medical establishment says about my blood markers, your words give me peace of mind. Thanks man!
I'm sorry that it sounds like you don't feel listened to. That's hard. I know.
When people are eating low card many large food companies aren't making money.
There's definitely a problem of misaligned incentive structures between public health and "big food"
Just compare profit margins between industrial corn transformed into cornflakes and raising cattle on a grass field, there is no money to be made with beef ...
@@doejohn8674 Why does the beef industry spend so much on politicking if there's no money to be made?
They are afraid the mainstream will start to reject the artificial food trend of the 20th century and return to traditional whole food diets.
I am afraid of what will happen to price of my favorite whole food staples when demand increases.. Whey already increased 20%. Dairy prices creep up continuously.
@@broccoli7263 they are trying to survive. its not that hard to figure out.
I love low-carb diets. They actually work for me. Not spiking my insulin at all.
Do you count carbs?
@@rachelcoleman4693 net carbs
Was looking forward to your next video. Intellectual integrity is making a come back thanks to you.
I appreciate that!
Thank you Nick. I care deeply about my nutritional health, but I don’t have time to critically evaluate the plethora of publications on the subject. You are doing an enormous public service.
You're welcome! Thanks for the comments :).
Spectacular video. I really enjoyed your breakdown. Gave me better understanding of looking at data, and analyzing the construction of the study.
Glad it was helpful!
I absolutely love your channel. I have a Ph.D. In nutrition but have never used it for employment purposes. I am 81 years old and 50 years ago could not get a job in that area because of my beliefs. Because both of my parents died from complications of diabetes, I followed a low carb diet but stillI became a type two diabetic in 2000. I have had no complications, follow a ketogenic diet, and have outlived most of those who ridiculed me back in the day. I wish you had been around fifty or sixty years ago.
This is amazing! You made my morning :). Keep truckin'!
Thank you for all of your work. You are a star.
So nice of you
Thank you Nick for a summary of the three studies. I always learn from your videos!!
Glad you like them!
Don’t let them fool you with “science”, Thank you Nick!
Science is a process, not a scripture
Our doctor is actually mad at US doctors doing this... She just said they are a disgrace to the medical profession.
No comment is my comment
Be glad that you found one like this!
Theres no higher compliment than condemnation from those who are failing to help ill people on a worldwide scale .
Your doctor is correct
The mainstream medical profession is a disgrace unto itself; I haven't been to a doctor in forty years.
Outstanding, thank you for showing how studies suffer from bias.
Wow this channel has amazing quality content. I’m so glad I found your channel.
Welcome aboard!
Thank you so much for pointing out the important inconsistencies and the ridiculousness of using a food recall form to gather “scientifically accurate data”
They’re my Boggart ;) … lmk if the reference landed 🪄
Thank you for the well reasoned and honest discussion!
You're welcome!
Thank you. These types of explanations are very helpful.
Cheers :)
Thank you Nicholas, keep up the great work!
Will do :)
Keep up the important work that you do. You are doing the type of reviews publications (such as the New York Times) and media outlets should be doing. We cannot count on them for the truth.
Seems not... sadly. I've been disappointed as of late
"Data Distortion". Creates lots of problems. Thanks Nick for reading between the lines, filling in the blanks, and calling out on the misinformation that is still out there. Deplorable, to say the least.
You’re welcome
I've watched these reporting issues for the past 35 years since I read Atkins book. I've seen similar issues on many other issues as well. When I was able to start researching on the internet it was clear how rarely media accurately reports on studies. Let alone the fact that the actual validity of most corporate sponsored "studies" is so poor. It's disgusting.
Thank you very much for this brilliant analysis!
My pleasure!
The level of skullduggery is incredible with the anti-low carb theologians.
I would LOVE to see some studies on 95% carnivore vs vegan vs keto
Carnivore will win
@@goozfrabah579 It's winning by a long shot in my N1 experiment, I feel superhuman most days eating 240 g protein, 270 g fat, and less than three carbs per day
I would love to see that too, as long as it was done honestly.
@@goozfrabah579 my comment to you disappeared, do you see my previous comment?
That will never be done.
Excellent information.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice work Dr Nick, ur a bad ass
Don't mind this comment. TYVM ;)
Thanks for looking out for us.
Always!
well done Nick!
Thanks. :)
And people end up saying "I don't trust science" when what they have seen came from the marketing department.
I don’t trust the “science.” I don’t trust the soyance either. I don’t trust democrats.
Ya... I don't believe in complete blind trust in science (or anything, really), but we do need some reliable sources and ways to organize our lives practically... since nobody can digest all the data
@@nicknorwitzPhD I don't go for blind belief either, hope I didn't give that impression.
I trust science. What I don't trust is propaganda even when it's called "science".
Excellent presentation and arguments, thank you! I'm a high-carb vegan and have been for 12 years, but I deeply respect good science and lament how hard it is to find it in nutrition generally. Again, thank you for your efforts to shine light into this murky world of BS (Bad Science).
Thank you very much. I agree, this transcend the diets we each choose as best for us... it's about intellectual integrity.
Great video Nick !
Glad you enjoyed it
I am so happy I found your channel. Thank you for making sense of these studies and sharpening my critical thinking skills. Intellectual integrity as you point out has disappeared in all aspects political, medical, educational etc. So disheartening.
Thank you for your kind words :)
Thank you, hugely insightful.
You're welcome :)
8:50 yeah, I've seen a lot of "low carb" studied referenced where even frozen pizza (even vegan ones) would be classified as low carb (edit: and of course, they suffer from the same data collection problems too)
Crazy. See the BK math below the video?
@@nicknorwitzPhD yup, even the Hershey's Sundae pie (keeping to the BK theme):
18g fat, 32g carbs, 1g fiber, 3g protein, works out to: 162kcal from fat, 124kcal from carbs, and 12kcal from protein, ie. 124 / (162 + 124 + 12) = 41,6% of energy from carbs
That would fit into a lot of studies' definition of low carb, which is often defined as anything below 50% of calories from carbs, especially in older studies. Sad to see the same thing still going on. Add in some Large Hash Browns, chicken nuggets or mozzarella sticks with the pie and you'd probably be under the 37% too (I cannot be bothered to do the calculations).
As someone who has reliably kept a diet diary (MyFitnessPall) and exercise diary for over 10 years, I would be a perfect candidate for this kind of study.
"confusion breeds mistrust"...yup
I like that line. As far as I know it’s a Nick original 😉
Thank you for telling us the truth!
I'll do my best to give an authentic digest... "truth" can sometimes be subjective. I feel my assessment better represents reality. Not everyone may feel the same.
Well done!!! ❤
Cheers :)
There’s no money in “changing your diet” as a preventative measure.
In the long scale it may be what our system needs… obesity and diabetes are expensive
I will say a low net carb (less than 100 grams a day) with high healthy fats and moderate-high protein, combined with intermittent fasting has helped me lose 60 pounds in 8 months and help heal my liver
Finally some science on youtube and no political propaganda.
Welcome
The first confounder I look for is who faked doing an actual study, then I look for how they faked the study. That would have been enough for me.
PS: Most importantly, what you're right about is that we should _all_ want to know if we're doing something that harms us. However, I've got pretty good evidence what I've done has been _good_ for me. I haven't done _everything_ perfectly, but I've learned from my behavior and adjusted perpetually into the right direction.
PPS: I used to be keto. Now I'm low-carb, high-protein, adjusting to optimal protein and optimal natural fiber. Carnivores can and will say you don't need fiber, but I'd like to keep my microbiome, and I appreciate that it can also contribute BHB.
Another great video Dr N! Have recommended you to so many people recently. Love your use of the 'Power of 3' to structure your presentation.
One small thing...please lose the sleeves on your t-shirt next time 😅😉🔥 x
Thanks. Sweet of you. And I'll take you note... although this next month will be not so good for my fitness... shifts that end at 2 am rarely are...
@nicknorwitzPhD Make sure you get some good rest too Nick - we all need you and your beautiful mind! Yoga Nidra is wonderful for 15-30 mins of non sleep deep rest if that's all you can squeeze in. Ally Boothroyd on YT is the Queen in this space x
First minute of the video and I am already bought. Looking forward to the rest, I just needed to say how the very theme resonates with my understanding of the world around us in early 21st century. Dishonesty wherever you turn your eyes. Still, honest people still exist, Nicholas included.
Thank you for this video
The study did not report the actual no of adverse incidents for each group
Very much doubt that there was a statistically significant difference in the absolute numbers as opposed to the "relative risk"
It would be interesting to interview editors of those nutrition journals how they decide if a study can be published and also the researchers how they came to those conclusions
Great job mate. Keeping the buggers honest!
I first read “burgers honest.” My Gettysburg address will be directed at an audience of 80/20 ground and dill pickles. “… and that burgers formed by the people, for the people, perfectly medium-rare shall perish from the gastric juices.”
Awsome content 👌
thanks :)
Thank you, Nick. I'd say unbelievable that this happens, unfortunately I've discovered in my own informal studies of nutrition it is all too believable.
These terrible papers and studies just confirm that low carb, keto high high meat and fat diet has NO bad effects.
1 year on and all my health factors have improved.. faster, stronger, NO hangries, sleep WAY better, PVD has cleared up 100%, my recovery from exercise is crazy fast, gut problems gone, skin smoother and less wrinkled as retaining water better.. not peeing it out all the time, a big varicose vein bulge from an accident on my leg has almost disappeared, teeth not coated, breath better, love handles gone, receding gums have come back, etc..
They can keep their silly study. I will be healthy NOT eating veges.
BTW my bloods are perfect. My doctor was surprised at my 63years I was so healthy. Not on any drugs. Told me to eat more vege.. hahaha. Couldn't help himself.
My Favourite UA-camr
Yay! Makes me feel good :)
I love your videos and how you lay out the information. I've decided that "research" isn't what we're told it is. Observational research is a poor method. I'd love to be part of the research at 50yo and ketovore for 2 years.
I found mosquitoes leave me alone the more im low carb.
I definitely don’t have that response. I am to mosquitoes as Froot Loops are to 8 year olds
Anecdotally I noticed that too. I was out at dusk doing yard work and I have zero mosquito bites, though I saw them out. Been doing carnivore for 2 weeks now...
Eat more garlic, mosquitos don't like the smell.
@@michealfriedman7084 Eat poison to stop mosquitos? No thanks. Garlic is terrible for you.
Lucky you! I used to use adderall for ADD so I could get through a work day without and realized one day, while adderall is in my body, mosquitoes wouldn't touch me. Since moving to a beef only diet, I have been able to easily come off my adderall and mosquitoes love me agaib 😢😢😢
this was awesome
Thanks!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I have a hypothesis: "we need this result: can you design a study to produce it."
WHO FUNDED the “$tudy”?
Dr. Norwitz, you are presenting a fine job of bringing the issue of data integrity and honest reporting to people in a way that can be easily understood. One thing that always bothers me is how "keto" is defined; to regard a keto "lifestyle" as ~50g carbs per day is totally unacceptable - LC is better defined as 0-30g/day. Unfortunately the popular press doesn't want to go into even that level of detail. The draw toward sensationalism is just to great for many to resist.
I am very exited about how you are grappling the beast by both horns.
All the low carb research that is negative is always not low carb ie 150g per day and up. the research is food frequency questionaries with 0 value.
Not zero value… but this study is particularly bad and the 24hr Q was problematic and there were issues with interpretation
I would that all politicians, business owners/executives, and scientists would lay aside their biases and agendas to examine truth. What a different world we would live in. Until then, I really appreciate people like nick!
This was good.
Glad you enjoyed it
Correct me if I’m wrong. I believe the follow up CAC scans of the LMHR in the CSF test group were to be done in Feb ‘24? Was this completed? Plan to release the findings?? I don’t expect any negative results based on your low carb high fat videos still being produced but the lack of anything on it is making me wonder about it.
Subscribed and thumbs up!
😊😊😊
❤🎉thank you for this video.
WELCOME!
Garbage in, garbage out!
How was that JACC Advances paper even published? It's embarrassing. 🙄 (Oh, and you've given me a new shirt to buy. 😂 You're crushing it, man!)
Embarrassing is true
I am ON a keto diet BECAUSE I am obese and diabetic. This reminds me of the study that found supplements were associated with illness, and recommended that people stop taking them. I also plan to stop using my apnea machine because it is associated with breathing disorders.
Thanks for calling out the bias and lies in research. It’s appalling to me and you’ve helped me go behind the sensational title to study the validity of the research.
THe main paper was hilariously bad…. I would wager that the study designers had never attended a class in statistics in their lives. The other two examples highlight how terrible journals are at selecting papers for publication. There will always be bad papers, but do there also have to me malfeasanceent journals as well? Malevolence abounds😢
3:45 Nick, in the JACC report when discussing the baseline CVD risk factors.
Is there any reason why you highlighted only 4 of the 5 risks (diabetes, BMI, smoking and obesity), but did not also include the higher prevalence of hypertension?
Keto works beautifully for me, just a wee bit concerned I will die someday! Another clear presentation.
I think we all will die someday. But what day, and what do you do until that day?
Great presentation - you show exactly how the data are a) imperfect and b) manipulated to misrepresent the actual phenomenon. Also, I think it's important for us to stay objective - keto diet is not as miraculous as presented in keto community. Still good and I lean towards it, but it has it's shortcomings.
I agree. It's not a holy grail. But data distortion only serves to promote confusion and seed mistrust. Let's talk in an elevated matter about potential patient-specific drawbacks and unknowns/concerns
You go Nick! These “prestigious” scientific journals should NOT be considered such any longer!! These reviews are shameful and a pox on the medical community, of which I have been a part for over 40 years. I am no longer a proud member.
Before you even finish scenario 1 just off the batt you could simply discover that people who have bio markers of being overweight likely tried one of the most popular low effort weight loss methods.
