Keto-CTA Study MANIPULATED Charts!? Statistical Violations!? youtu.be/AE8VGcyhfnM?si… via @YouTube
Regardless of the Cleerly debate looks like this group has some answering to do with regards to their data analysis. And perhaps some learnings for next time they publish.

If so that would seem to be a major problem … for the documentary and everyone who watched it. Admittedly haven’t seen it.

@WFPB_Longevity @theproof @YouTube The study was for the documentary. It was the "scientific backbone" for the film. That's probably was it was such a rush job. That film had a preview exactly this time last year, meaning prior to the publishing of the study.

Peter Attia claims that “a fresh shipment” referred to metformin for his own use. Why would a physician message a powerful, busy person to announce the arrival of a cheap, generic, readily available prescription medication?
It raises the question of whether he was providing metformin to Epstein.
Although it may not seem like a big deal, providing prescription medications outside a formal patient relationship falls outside standard medical and ethical norms. In some cases, it can result in disciplinary action from boards of medicine.

@Jerwgar3 I spent two weeks with them last summer. Wonderful people, but poor dental and physical health, despite having no ultra processed food and staying lean. Many confounders, like cooking over fire in small, enclosed, smoky huts, so smoky my eyes burned.

Welp. It's been >100 years and I still haven't been able to find a good study to show that low carb diets, practiced the way 90% of influencers promote them, are healthy long term. Have I missed a memo somewhere?

@Jerwgar3 @VivaLongevity Seems your data is incorrect in almost every respect.
English

The Masai, pre-1980s, might be a good example, though I don't know they were in ketosis with milk sugars, and blood. Still, they are called low-carb. They even had low LDL somehow on an almost exclusively animal diet. Some of the tallest people in the world, almost no cavities, crowding, high bone density, low blood pressure, cancer, heart disease, etc, are almost non-existent. Just skewed by infant mortality, worms, and diseases.

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Yup .. I use it to help me with a 48hr fast I do every week - I don’t suffer from food noise on a daily basis but after 24hr food starts becoming noisy.

@UKLabour @Keir_Starmer Ruining Britain … and I voted for you assholes.

@Keir_Starmer Yes. This is 100% your fault for recognizing a terrorist state and giving Hamas what they want — shame on your Starmer.

This was a vile terrorist attack that attacked Jews, because they are Jews.
Antisemitism is a hatred that is rising, once again. Britain must defeat it, once again.
To every Jewish person in this country: I promise that I will do everything in my power to guarantee you the security you deserve.

@Keir_Starmer WTF are you thinking making Shabana Mahmood Home Secretary — have you lost your mind ?

@NutritionMadeS3 I learned today (to my astonishment) that significant ascvd doesn’t show up as lumen stenosis on a ct angiogram until quite late stage sub clinical ascvd. So much for my CAC:0 and “no vessel or valve disease”. Seems CTA doesn’t show IMT.
English

@NutritionMadeS3 I’ve had many cIMT’s I’m shocked I didn’t put 2 and 2 together - if ct angiography won’t show sub clinical ascvd then I guess that just leaves ultrasound of proxies.
English

@NutritionMadeS3 Makes one wonder why so much faith is put on ct angiograms to show ascvd when most of the foundational damage is in the IM layer which is invisible to a CTA. More bad news for keto-CTA and it seems the rest of us.

@SenBillCassidy Just got my 3rd hep a/b shot, not for life in the USA bit in case of disaster in less sanity locales.

People objecting to hepatitis B vaccination apparently have never treated patients like this. Their life ending with a terrible liver disease or else requiring a transplantation. This is about preventing illnesses like this. I have the experience of treating patients infected with hepatitis B at birth, who end up terribly ill like this. Why would anyone want someone to end up like this?

Drug trafficking is a crime, not an act of war. Traffickers must be arrested, not summarily executed, which U.S. forces just illegally did.

@nicknorwitz Funny you calling THIS study “comically bad” — pot/kettle.
English

A paper was recently published titled, “Ketogenic Diets are Associated with Elevated Risk for All Cancers.” Grab your popcorn—scratch that, your pork rinds—because this study is so comically bad, it's more entertaining than alarming. Let’s dive in.
🚨Here’s the first red flag: their most ketogenic quintile consumed a diet that was 37% of calories from carbohydrates—amounting to 181 grams of carbs per day.
Yes, their "most ketogenic" group was eating as many carbs as you'd find in 12 slices of bread.
That fact alone disqualifies the paper's title claim —“Ketogenic Diets are Associated with Elevated Cancer Risk.”
But for the sake of curiosity (or comedy?), let’s keep going.
They used something called the Dietary Ketogenic Ratio (DKR), a rather obscure formula (more on that below) that assigns a score from 0 to 9 based on a diet’s potential to induce ketogenesis—with higher numbers indicating greater ketogenic potential. However, in their analysis, all effects became statistically non-significant above a DKR of 0.44—because 0.44 is barely scratching the surface of the scale. In other words, most of their supposed “ketogenic” range produced no significant findings.
Even more absurd: using their method, a high-carb diet with 200 grams of carbs per day can yield DKR scores that are equivalent to medical 3:1 or 4:1 ratio (87–90% of calories from fat) with respect to the supposed cancer risk, as stated in the title.
😂That’s not just misleading—that’s “Turned you around 12 times, stuffed you in a barrel and sent it down Niagara falls.”
🍒And the cherry on top: they calculated the DKR using macronutrient data collected from a two-day retrospective food questionnaire. That’s right—participants recalled what they ate over two days, reported it, and then the authors through a non-standard formula which, again, showed mostly non-significant results. All of this in a population that, even in the lowest-carb group, was still consuming a loaf of bread’s worth of carbs per day.
Thoughts?

@doctor_oxford This is rediculois, if two intelligent adults have made their decision without coercion they should be allowed to exist without pain in on their own terms. Who are you to decide for them? Do you know their life histires, so you know their decision making? Who made you god?

Today the Observer has published an extraordinary piece, which I think they view as a romantic case for assisted dying, but which is, in fact, a textbook case of how doctors subvert the rules to help patients without any terminal illness whatsoever to die by suicide.
It could not highlight more starkly the dangers of the law we are currently debating.
In the piece, doctors in New South Wales (whose AD law is very similar to our proposed one) collude with two elderly people with no terminal diagnoses to end their lives.
One person has generative spinal discs, her husband has panic attacks. They are both very old and wish to die,
No terminal condition. No expectation of death within 6 months.
Yet they found two doctors only too happy to sign off their double suicide & prescribe the lethal drugs.
We may all yearn to “slip away in a room full of love” at the end of our lives - I know I do - but enabling state sponsored suicide under the guise of assisted dying couldn’t be more obviously dangerous.
The Observer has just revealed how an apparently safe law in Australia is really used, in the real world, to enable suicide. The doctors were entirely happy to ignore the “terminal illness with 6 months or less to live” requirement. And the family of the dead couple are so confident this is all OK that they wrote about it in a UK newspaper.
It’s dystopian, dishonest & so deeply worrying.
Please let’s not sleepwalk into this in the UK.
