To reduce risk of cancer mortality, it seems prudent to control fructose intake. The evidence that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease is accumulating. To pretend that nutrition is not important when it comes to cancer is negligent. @tnseyfried

Obesity shrinks the brain! Higher abdominal fat levels almost triple dementia risk. The brain is 2% of our body weight yet uses 20% of energy. This makes it vulnerable to metabolic disease. To look after your brain, you need to look after your metabolism.

I find this repulsive. In this study, investigators struggled to understand why patients who followed a low fat diet gained weight. So they implied the patients were lying rather than question their underlying (and incorrect) beliefs about low fat diets promoting weight loss.

Worried about dementia? Keto Diet (~65% fat) vs. American Heart Association Diet (~60% carb). KD improved metabolic profile (HbA1c, glucose, insulin, triglycerides and VLDL), cerebral perfusion and ketone body uptake. AHA diet did not. 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2019.09.015

10 years ago I published research that found conflicts of interest between the pharmaceutical industry and medical schools were not adequately controlled. I believe industry influence biases medical education at the expense of patients.

How does a plant substances with almost zero bioavailability and no known role in mammalian biology, get accepted as nutritional supplements? How about large-scale research fraud.

On average, vegans have poorer bone health than meat eaters as assessed by ultrasound. Twelve biomarkers strongly associated with bone health (11 postive, 1 negative) were identified. Most, if not all of these are impacted deleteriously by nutrient deficient vegan diets.

Patients with heart disease are often told to avoid sodium (salt). This just published study randomised 806 subjects to either a low sodium or their usual diet. There was a non statistically significant trend (HR 1.38, p=0.32) to early death in the low sodium group.

This refeeding plan for anorexic patients (from a major Australian hospital), designed by accredited dietitians, is dominated by sugary, low fat, nutrient deficient foods. How are these patients meant to recover without good nutrition?

The worlds biggest study on low fat diets has been described as a failed experiment. The truth is, it only failed to find what the researchers wanted. When they discovered that low fat diets could be harmful, they went out of their way to hide the truth.
