Feel free to replace the word “calories” with “actual physical carbon atoms containing high-energy bonds that, once ingested, reside in body energy stores until oxidized in mitochondria in response to energy demand and are then exhaled as carbon dioxide.” But I prefer brevity. 😁

This is just gross. Use a guy’s death to promote your low-carb agenda. Jesus.
@ScepticalDoctor That’s the way I approached it back in the day. I loved the whole diet-heart revisionism. The idea that THEY lied to us and that butter and bacon are actually superfoods was much more appealing and interesting than the boring reality. Conspiracy theories are fun.
Apparently @McDonalds hashbrowns are vegan now? McDs is a terrible company, but I always appreciate vegan options becoming more available for those who rely on convenience. #vegan

This seems right to me. Quite possibly anti-seed oil hysteria is often encouraged by the pro-sat fat brigade as a distraction technique. 💬 Bottom line is that best quality evidence suggests that seed oils > butter/palm oil/tallow etc.

Observational studies are unreliable, unless I like the results.
@DrCarolJasper @Veganella_ @thisisnothappen @hugopottisch @ein_veganiac @beeaannZzZ Here's some more searches for you and all seem to agree that a higher soy diet (all legumes as they also contain isoflavones) leads to lower sperm.. you must be soy drunk to think it affects womens fertility and not men😂🤣 and these are SHORT studies, imagine long term!!
It is true that it is very hard to be deficient in protein. However, protein intake neccessary to prevent protein deficiency is not the same as the optimal protein intake. Vegans especially should be protein focused. On the other side, also ignore bro science RDI of 2.5g/kg. 🤷
Protein requirements are easily met by a plant-based diet. According to the World Health Organization, ‘protein deficiency is almost always accompanied by inadequate energy intake,’ meaning the problem is a lack of food, not a lack of meat.

@DrNadolsky Surely she can't be serious...when was this posted, and how is it possible for someone with a PhD to miss the huge body of literature on exercise & weight loss maintenance, reduction of visceral fat (independent of dieting), & improvement of a wide spectrum of health parameters?
@ScepticalDoctor I can see how this has a “gut feel” of truth to it, but I’d be interested on your view on: 1. What’s the threshold of effect size such that obs studies can infer causation? 2. Why does effect size alter our confidence in obs data’s ability to inform on causality?

“Eating less and moving more doesn’t work. You just have to eat less.”
@ScepticalDoctor @DrEenfeldt Long-term, controlled intervention trials, with disease outcome as the end-point, are virtually impossible in human nutrition. But consistent observational studies, backed by plausible mechanistic evidence, can provide reasonable evidence upon which to base dietary advice.
@ScepticalDoctor @DrEenfeldt At least, I hope so. I propose that the reduction in risk of bowel cancer associated with high intakes of dietary fibre is a plausible example.
@ScepticalDoctor But I imagine if all we had were observational studies that you would be more confident in that hypothesis or a slight alternate than the null hypothesis, correct?
Feel free to replace the word “calories” with “actual physical carbon atoms containing high-energy bonds that, once ingested, reside in body energy stores until oxidized in mitochondria in response to energy demand and are then exhaled as carbon dioxide.” But I prefer brevity. 😁
@tednaiman Since when did a body burn Calories ???
@tednaiman Probably not, no. Possibly somewhat worse, due to factors unrelated to obesity per se.
@Veganella_ @uoftmedicine @nutrisci_uoft More precise human trials are underway (same lab) to definitively answer this question… but it seems as though your body will respond to ALA just fine if DHA is not present. I take algae very intermittently (3x/month)… But I do consume flax, hemp or Chia seeds almost daily.💚
