@DrSusanOliver1 Malhatora has been highly respected in UK culture and health for years. GMB wheeled him out regularly on their show to advocate for vaccine use, which he did. He’s been awarded and celebrated extensively in the press/industyfor his work. You’re clueless and irrelevant Susan.

@JayneArkle22617 @StefaniaOkolie How can she be scapegoated when no one was looking into the deaths? The hospital took years to act and then it was too late.

@StefaniaOkolie I can reply Cheshire police have screwed up big style cps know any decent people who look into the case know innocent nurse Lucy has been scapegoated by consultants and NHS failures Pseudomonas deadly infection hidden from Jury.

Sorry I know I don’t say much on here… but can we talk about UK accused baby killer Lucey Letby….
I umm… feel awful for this woman.

This is absolutely nuts.
400 days after promising to fix skyrocketing inflation, Trump appears on ads on Fox News flashing a "red beauty" watch and begging his poor fans to buy the $499 "fight fight fight" watch.
If this isn't tone-deaf grifting during tough times, what is?

@joeroganhq Yes MAHA/MAGA/CHD folks please continue to follow grifters, especially RFK Jr. Before we know it y’all will be dead from cardiac issues and strokes, your children brain damaged or dead from vaccine preventable diseases. Eugenics. Enjoy.

This man is labeling a colleague’s accurate, nuanced discussion as “misinformation” because he imagines harm from information he simply disagrees with.
This reflexive censorship and intellectual arrogance is exactly why people lose trust in physicians.
I propose this does more harm to patients than being 5-10 days off on projected/modeled statin benefit

A greatly under-appreciated side effect of niche academic debate on twitter is that everyone else (aka gen public) can see it too. While other docs rightly call out obvious misinformation, John comes out and says well actuallyyyyyy, if you look at the data, he’s not *actually* wrong! See?! What others see: hmm Aseem Malhotra is making sense… hey look an esteemed cardiologist using papers to support Aseem Malhotra’s claim, looks legit! 🤔 Do you think people realize the nuance that the actual problem (the “fuss”) is not that data itself but the fact that it is being intentionally misused to push a dangerous and misleading narrative that might influence people who actually need their statin the most, to stop taking them? No. Why should they either? John could have used this opportunity to really highlight that, but he didn’t. Interesting. The problem is not the data, it is the messaging and narrative.

"The longest-lived people often have HIGH cholesterol... and we're medicating it away?!"
Dr. Benjamin Bikman (metabolic scientist) challenges the cholesterol fear:
"One of the most consistent themes of longevity research: the longest-lived humans have higher cholesterol."
He cites studies (like the Swedish AMORIS cohort on centenarians) showing higher total cholesterol linked to better odds of reaching 100—along with good glucose control.
Why? Cholesterol is essential:
- Vital for mitochondria function
- Building block for all sex hormones
- Helps fight infections (LDL as immune hero)
Yet we obsess over lowering it with drugs—while triglycerides (far more predictive of heart risk) get ignored. Bikman argues: "We have well-designed drugs... so it's a really good way to sell a lot of drugs."
(Research note: In older adults/centenarians, higher cholesterol often correlates with lower mortality risk in observational data, though causality debated; guidelines still recommend management for CVD prevention.)
Paradigm-shifting or controversial? What's your take on cholesterol's role in longevity—demon or essential molecule? Share experiences or thoughts below!

@MatthewJDalby I saw a Mk4 Escort in a car park at the weekend, it was dwarfed by what is now considered a medium family car.

Cars are eroding the roads much faster in Britain now whilst councils have ever less money to spend on roads.
Oddball@CaptDrimmie
Ever wonder why our roads are so poor? These cars now weigh up to three times that of an average sixties saloon and five times that of the little Lotus Elan in the picture

😂😂😂The prosecution laid out every case in detail to the jury, including who was where and what they were doing. At any time the defence could have stated that Lucy wasn't there, they didn't because she was where the prosecution said she was.

@locutus_777 @gregmushen What Nick knows, and what Nick communicates are often different because he is blinded by bias towards high fat diets.
English
@gregmushen While i have no clue what both of you talk about, i would think that Nick would know this?
English
Sorry Nick, that’s not how statistical significance works.
It’s an uncertainty metric, not a closeness or safety metric.
A non significant result isn’t “90% sure you’ll die jumping off a cliff.”
It’s saying the data can’t reliably determine whether a jump occurred at all, given noise, power, and model assumptions, if given equal cliff jumps in two groups, whether deaths were higher in one group versus another beyond random chance.
And the threshold isn’t arbitrary. Anyone who has designed an extensive number of experiments and tuned confidence intervals learns why 95% became standard: Below it, noise dominates and you get no signal. Above it, experiments become impractically long or expensive. The tradeoff is structural, not arbitrary.

Do Statins make you Fat? Got your attention. Good. Now hear me out. 👂👇 The new headlines around this new Lancet study screaming that “millions more” should be on statins and that “side effects have been overblown” are absurd distortions of reality. Take weight change (Figure 1). There was a clear trend showing statin use was “causally” linked with weight gain versus placebo (missed statistical significance by a hair; yellow line). AND there was also a dose–response trend (Figure 2): high-dose statins trended toward more weight gain than low-dose statins (also missed statistical significance by a hair). 🚨Here’s the problem: Just because something doesn’t cross an arbitrary p-value threshold does not mean there’s no biological effect. If I’m 90% sure jumping off a cliff will kill me—but that’s “not statistically significant”—does that mean it’s safe? Of course not. Absence of statistical significance ≠ absence of harm. (And maybe it’s not my place to speculate on whether conflicts of interest—including with Merck, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Amgen, Pfizer—influenced which tests they ran and what they chose to emphasize... but FWIW to you 🤷🏼) Many more thoughts in the full letter 👇

1/ Gary Taubes argues carbs→insulin drive obesity & chronic disease. Let’s test his strongest claims against the most controlled human evidence: metabolic-ward trials, long RCTs, and systematic reviews.

Editor's note: Tro didn't read the study.
Where to even begin with this mess.
The keto group was provided three meals per day to increase adherence. The control group was given vouchers and told to eat 1 additional colored fruit or vegetable each day (which, according to Tro, is the "most well formulated plant-based diet possible").
This study basically compared a keto diet to a standard Western diet with 1 additional serving of fruits or veggies.
The keto diet performed marginally better for reducing depression and anxiety over 6-12 weeks (Figure 3a/b).
These differences were attenuated and rendered non-significant when a per-protocol analysis was used, which included only those who were rated as adhering to the diet “completely/every day” or “mostly/most of the days” in each call.
Also, once the keto diet meals and support ended, only 9% of participants reported diet continuation.
I do think that a ketogenic diet can be beneficial for neurological and mood disorders. I don't think it is the only viable approach.
But more than anything, don't let your own dietary and cognitive biases lead you to sharing unremarkable research and lying about it. Super embarrassing.
