@JohnStossel @GWrightstone @LinneaLueken Thankfully the truth has not only got its trousers on but it’s starting to move off the bed. The lie might be halfway round the world but it’s being caught up slowly.

Climate zealots say cows cause global warming. Really. Cow flatulence "is a serious issue" says AOC. But warming from cows is “an extremely small number, that you can’t even measure,” says scientist @GWrightstone. StosselTV Fellow @LinneaLueken looks for the truth:

@BenBikmanPhD @GrassBased Weird innit. And then you consider all of those people out there who’ve suffered from T2D for years and years and go carnivore. T2D recedes and goes into remission, and yet they’re eating almost nothing but red meat. Weird.

The idea that red meat causes insulin resistance and diabetes is just crazy. We eat less red meat now than we have in over 100 years, and diabetes has climbed the entire time. Where does this idea come from?

@Clar000 @lowcarbGP It could, but as an addition to dietary change which is the thing that’s actually doing the heavy lifting.

@lowcarbGP Could weight training/increasing muscle mass also be a tool for T2 sufferers?

We have eaten our way into this epidemic of T2 diabetes AND we can eat our way out again by eating nutrient dense food like this that doesn’t put your blood sugar up 👍😊

@Bookie814 @lowcarbGP Upside down. The 20th Century has a message for you. Time to move on.

@lowcarbGP Heart attack on a plate.

@angstyclare @lowcarbGP Tinned salmon too. Full fat beef mince is hardly expensive and hugely nutritious and satiating.

@lowcarbGP In the current cost of living crisis I struggle to afford non processed, carb heavy meals. Veg and oily fish are so expensive at the minute.

@cade1792 @lowcarbGP You could educate yourself, there are many good sources of info available out there. Diabetes.co.uk has a great forum, and the newly established American Diabetes Society is a breath of fresh air across the pond. REAL experts. NOT the ADA!

@lowcarbGP Do you accept new patients as a GP? Mine are useless

@GlobalErgoGuy @robertlufkinmd Aologies. It didn occur to me afterwards.

@BEASTIES2001 @robertlufkinmd Reread it. 2pm to 8pm = 6 hours = feeding window.

As a medical school professor, I used to think all fasting windows were created equal. This massive analysis proves they are not. A network meta-analysis of 113 trials published in BMJ Medicine found that early time-restricted eating -- finishing food by mid-afternoon -- crushed every other fasting approach. The results: -- Early TRE reduced body weight by 2.48 kg (high certainty) -- Cut waist circumference by 3.52 cm -- Slashed fasting insulin by 3.67 uIU/mL -- more than any other type -- Dropped systolic blood pressure by 6.16 mmHg -- Late eating showed roughly half the benefit The reason? Your metabolism follows a circadian rhythm. Insulin sensitivity peaks in the morning and crashes at night. Eating late forces your body to process food when it is metabolically weakest. This is metabolic dysfunction by design. The standard American dinner schedule fights your own biology. Full breakdown coming on the Health Longevity Secrets podcast.

@patrickjreddy @7Kiwi It was explained to Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld on a napkin. That much is correct. It dates back to the 14th Century apparently.

@7Kiwi The ladder curve was made up on the back of a napkin. There is no actual economics behind it. Just it looked pretty.

Can someone explain the Laffer curve to Dale please

@Soubriquet_ @MDC12345678 @NetZeroWatch I’m guessing he’s taking the piss? In the manner of an energy minister.

@MDC12345678 @NetZeroWatch What are you talking about, we only produce 60% of our food. We import the rest. Be prepared for massive price increases later this year.

Increasing domestic food production will not affect UK food prices. We produce less than 1% of the global food supply, and any additional output will simply be sold on international food markets that we do not control. We should use prime farmland for power generation with a capacity factor of just 12% to get off the rollercoaster of international food markets.

@MDC12345678 I’m guessing your post is taking the piss Maurice?

@garytaubes @LogicRoad @American_Heart Personally, I applaud anyone who changes their mind and admits it. But not George Monbiot. He’s always right no matter how many times he changes his mind. Idiot.

There's a lot to be said for your take. If the AHA were to acknowledge making a mistake, it's the equivalent of saying "yes, we were wrong then, and have been wrong for fifty years, but we're right now, and you can trust our judgment in the future." Even on the internet, on X, we can get crucified for admitting a mistake. It's the right thing to do and, well, everyone makes mistakes. We should be willing to correct them, and that should be a good sign. But the world is full of folks who will see the acknowledgment of error as evidence that we can't be trusted, not that we can.

RFK Jr and the MAHA folks may have inverted the food guide pyramid, turning red meat and full-fat dairy back into health foods, but the @American_Heart is doubling down on the low-fat, plant-based advice it's been disseminating for decades. Should we expect anything different from the organization that created the low-fat consensus 60+ years ago? My latest Substack discusses the "one of us stinks" problem caused by challenging consensus science. It also answers the question raised last week by @MaryanneDemasi, why won't the lipid hypothesis die?

@GlobalErgoGuy @robertlufkinmd How is 6 hours without food any sort of time restriction?

Been doing 18h:6h TRF / TRE for the last 5 years. Lost 25lbs of unwanted weight that never returned. Exercise alone wouldn't do that - no matter how hard I tried. My labs have improved every year since. My feeding window is between 2pm and 8pm. More protein early. More carbs late. Seems to suit me fine.

@ElieJarrougeMD @TuitNutrition N=1 experimentation keeps on knocking it out of the park. The Establishment: tumbleweed.

New patient story. This one will challenge everything you think you know about medicine. Bill is 62. 6 years ago (left picture), his doctors told him: “Go home and enjoy whatever time you have left. There is nothing more we can do.” He just went snowshoeing. 🧵

@KathrynPorter26 @KemiBadenoch @UKLabour "Ministers need to grow up"; No chance Kathryn

In my latest blog post I look at @KemiBadenoch's plans to cut £200 from energy bills and find that, unlike @UKLabour's £300 promise, her numbers actually add up - I break them down in the post I then go on to look at the dire state of the economy and post a range of charts demonstrating how the key economic indicators have all gone in the wrong direction since the 2024 General Election Labour is refusing to listen. Not just in energy but more broadly. It is openly hostile to business, ignoring concerns over fiscal and regulatory change impacting them, and then expressing surprise and disappointment when those policies deliver the exact adverse outcomes business groups warned about Time and again we hear the same complaints - the Government isn't listening. Not to business, and not to just about everyone including their own union paymasters, on energy and North Sea drilling The impression is of a Government that is inherently mistrustful of business, seeing it not as the driver of economic growth but a bunch of self-interested profiteers who are only good as a source of tax receipts As a result we now have the highest tax burden since the 1940s, yet the welfare bill exceeds income tax receipts. Inflation, unemployment, energy bills and gilt yields (government borrowing costs) are all higher than at the 2024 General Election We're now facing not just an energy shock but a wider economic shock from the war in Iran, and Labour's immediate response was to accuse fuel retailers of profiteering with absolutely zero evidence any such thing was happening. Ministers are behaving as if it's inevitable, despite the fact that retailer profits make up 6% of the pump price of petrol while tax makes up 53%!! Instead of listening to credible strategies that would mitigate the impact of the Iran war, ministers are too busy pointing fingers at phantoms and jumping at shadows This isn't just "student politics" it's frankly childish. Ministers need to grow up and have a much more mature engagement with business. They must stop paying lip service to "growth" and actually implement policies that have a chance of delivering it, rather than doing the exact opposite @Ed_Miliband @Keir_Starmer @ClaireCoutinho @AndrewBowie_MP @griffitha @DavidGHFrost @cmackinlay @mattwridley @Iromg @AllisonPearson @MerrynSW @EdConwaySky @afneil @mattotele watt-logic.com/2026/04/07/ene…

@vinceW31 @CeeMacBee Did that make sense in your head?

@CeeMacBee If the UK didnt buy that LNG from the US or Qatar then someone else would. Drilling for our own wouldn't save the US or Qatar emissions, its just false accounting.

'The Jackdaw gas field was discovered over 20 years ago in 2005, approved in the summer of 2022 and was expected to be in production by 2025. However its development was delayed by the Finch Case ruling that new oil and gas developments must take Scope 3 emissions into consideration. Scope 3 emissions include all upstream and downstream emissions from a product. If the gas is imported as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) from the US or Qatar, Scope 3 emissions will be much higher, as LNG requires energy to be purified, frozen to -161°C, cryogenically stored, transported in specially designed ships, and regasified. The Scope 3 emissions of this process are many multiples of UK gas production; the only difference is that the LNG emissions will be attributed to the US or Qatar, rather than the UK.' Blocking Jackdaw because of Scope 3 emissions is not helping the environment. What Norway can teach Mad Ed about gas conservativewoman.co.uk/what-norway-ca… via @theconwom

@AlanFoum @CeeMacBee Scope 3 is for eaelier on in the chain. Eg supermarkets; emissions on farms are counted as Scope 3.

@CeeMacBee Pedantic but not sure if Scope3 emissions will be higher for LNG, Scope 3 refers to end user emissions for fuel use. Scope 1 & Scope 2 emissions , which are generated in producing the gas & transporting it to market will certainly be much higher for imported LNG and this is vital

@pjcboro @CeeMacBee @d1_david Er, hello. Try being a farmer. We’ve to pay for the sins of the entire planet. Scope 3 is a fantastic way for supermarkets to point the finger of blame at us, precisely so they don’t have to do anything.

@CeeMacBee @d1_david I don’t want to detract from the very valid point you’re making about the carbon emissions associated with LNG but I thought the transport (inc liquefaction and regas) count as scope 2 The whole scope 3 argument is ridiculous anyway. No other product has such scrutiny.

@SamaHoole Hang on @SamaHoole Who wrote this? It looks like you. But it’s bullshit. "Accepting the hunger"? I haven’t been hungry for 6 years, what am I doing wrong?

Been in this game a long time now. And I want to leave you with the thing that matters. It is always, always, always calories in versus calories out. Not carnivore. That's a restriction cult dressed up as science. Not Ozempic. That's outsourcing your identity to a pharmaceutical. Not intuitive eating. That's just eating, with branding. It's the deficit. The protein. The steps. The discipline. It's accepting the hunger as a collaborator. It's accepting the muscle loss as tuition fees. It's accepting the metabolic slowdown as a necessary evolution. It's accepting that you will be doing this, essentially forever, with periodic refeeds to manage the psychological load, and that the hunger will always be there, lurking, and that the correct response to it is additional black coffee and a motivational framework. Is this sustainable? Sustainability is a scarcity mindset. Champions don't ask if it's sustainable. They ask if it's optimal. And CICO is always optimal. Follow for more. Share this with someone who needs the truth. And if you're going to try carnivore anyway, don't tag me in it. I don't want to know how you're not hungry. Some of us are building character over here. - Dave

@JamesMelville @JulianMellentin Story originally ran in Sept 2024. Papers like repeating these things. Maybe someone will listen this time? Yeah, right.

Well knock me down with a feather.

@GBNEWS What are they taking in Westminster?

‘It would be wrong for people to think that drilling is going to bring down oil prices.’ Labour Peer Baroness Hayter dismisses claims that if Labour opened up new oil and gas fields in the North Sea, it would lower the cost of energy bills.
