People are citing this new paper (published yesterday) as evidence low-carb diets are “BAD” for diabetes. 🚨NOTE: They use “low carb diet scores.” This is a useful way to obscure actual intake. The LOWEST carb groups were eating ~40% Calories from Carbs. That’s similar to a Reese’s PB Cup Cc @metcoalition @AdrianSotoMota @AKoutnik @janellison @realDaveFeldman










Statins Slash GLP-1 Levels - Human Controlled Trial (🔗 at the end) 1/9) Usually, scientific research excites me. But the paper I just read? It both excited and annoyed me. It explores how statins – the most profitable drug in history, with annual sales exceeding $20 billion – contribute to insulin resistance, increase diabetes risk, and significantly lower GLP-1 levels in humans. These findings were published over a year ago – February 6th, 2024 – in @Cell_Metabolism, a highly respected scientific journal. This should have been headline news. But not a word. I’ll return to my commentary on the silence around these data. But first, let’s make sure you understand more than most doctors about this overlooked finding.














There are lots of Problems with the latest Keto- CTA study. But the reason many of us are calling it out is because of the huge promotion campaign going behind what can be best described as dishonest work. & The message that's going out to the laymen is "LDL doesn't matter on Keto/Carnivore diet" Till the day there solid evidence to claim this (this study isn't one), this assumption shouldn't be made & it's a dangerous one. There are people with sky high LDL chilling & denying meds thinking all is well. Thanks @DrNadolsky @alexleaf @sguyenet @MichaelAlbertMD @VegDietCoach & others for scrutinising the study & putting the facts out there for laymen.










It's time to say something. Please note that these views are only my own and do not represent official positions of any organization with which I am affiliated. I have been following RFK Jr since the beginning of his campaign and as a health advocate, I am strongly in favor of him being confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services. I challenge those of you whose only information about his positions comes from mainstream media to go directly to the source. Listen to his interviews. Watch his full videos--not clips that distort his meaning. Go to the government websites whose data he cites to validate the information for yourself. You could even go so far as to read his books. I am deeply non-partisan and always have been. I look to collaborate with those whose aims align with my own, regardless of political affiliation. It is in that spirit that I share my personal excitement for the years ahead. Largely as a result of RFK Jr’s Make America Healthy Again coalition, ending chronic disease has become a priority at the federal level. Several of our closest collaborators are being considered for top positions in federal agencies, and the deep connection between metabolism and mental health is being discussed at the highest levels of government. Diet and health are being recognized as intimately linked, and along with regenerative farming and ranching ideas, are becoming part of the public discourse in a new way. The opportunity to improve health and food systems has never been greater. I strongly believe that confirming RFK Jr for HHS gives us the best chance -- IN OUR LIFETIMES -- for reversing the physical and mental health epidemics our country faces and to finally putting the health of Americans above corporate and special interests.

This is a bowl of diabetes.
