Proud to be on this paper. Check it out! Thanks @bigfatsurprise for leading on this!!

First ever peer-reviewed low-carb/keto food pyramid!!
🔥New paper addresses all the myths vs. FACTs on these diets. i.e, they are not nutritionally deficient, not a "fad" diet, do not have harmful side effects, do not cause heart disease, and more. Link below.

👉Triglyceride-rich lipoprotein remnants,
low-density lipoproteins, and risk of coronary
heart disease: a UK Biobank study
🔓Open Access
The strength of association of apoB with CHD risk is not uniform; rather, it depends on which particle the apoB resides; TRL/remnant particles appear to have an inherent atherogenicity that is substantially greater than that of LDL
The implications of the present investigation and earlier findings are:
(i) use of non-HDL-C as a single, aggregate marker of risk may not provide as accurate prediction of CHD risk as first thought since its component parts—TRL/remnant-C and LDL-C—appear to have differing quantita- tive associations with risk
(ii) interventions targeted to regulate TRL/remnant lipoproteins may prove beneficial, especially when ad- dressing the residual TRL/remnant-associated risk in statin-treated patients
Finally, there is a pressing need not only to develop more refined methods for assessment of remnant concentrations but also to improve the understanding of the molecular basis of the atherogenicity of this lipoprotein species

Statins increase risk for Diabetes. This study in BMJ - suggest that rosuvastatin > atorvastatin in terms of risk. Why? who knows, but the risks exists.

Bill Clinton had 8 exercise stress tests when he was in office and 'passed' each of them with flying colours.
He then had a heart test that showed he need coronary artery bypass surgery.
Want to know what test he had?

SNAP is so broken. Congress - do the right thing!
“The fact that you can use SNAP to purchase a frozen, breaded chicken, but not a hot rotisserie chicken or a salad from a grocery store salad bar, frankly, makes no sense,” Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.), said in a statement.
10 Jun 2023
Some lawmakers are pushing to allow SNAP recipients to purchase rotisserie chickens (currently not allowed).
What do you think of this proposal?

Omega-3s are popular as a supplement and I wanted to share my thoughts and go a bit into the evidence behind omega-3s. I wrote a review article in 2005 in the JABFM and this is an update to that article.

Cool blog looking at Exercise versus caloric restriction for visceral fat loss - which is better? -
Spoiler alert - it’s #exercise!

In a study released this week low carb diet was compared to a calorie controlled diet
2 interesting facts
1) the low carb diet did better for BMI, waist and fat mass
2) the low carb ATE MORE CALORIES
let that sink in, energy balance model is dead ☠️

Exercise - just do it. On the weekend - as a weekend warrior, or 3-5 times a week. Today is Memorial Day - spend some time outside, or doing a HERO #WOD - to get your 75 minutes of vigorous activity and remember the fallen. @JAMA_current

Protein. That whole protein kills your kidney? McMaster university reports in their study - no effect with protein on normal kidneys.
#protein
Researchers show that a high-protein diet does not affect kidney function
Another myth for the garbage dump.
Eat protein, it's good for you.

TOSH TUSD, PJ time, WOW. All acronyms for time outside regular hours. Why is this even allowed? Because - the system is broken. Once we realize how much time docs spend charting and in the EHR the bigger question is how to deal with it.

The WHO just released guidelines on Non-sugar sweeteners. Bottom line, it may help with weight loss, and no - it's not going to kill you if you have some. This may be contrary to what the WHO writes, but I explain here.
