The TEAM, led by ICU physiotherapy research legend Prof Carol Hodgson, has been published today in NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… Here’s a summary of what we did & what I think the trial means.

NEW: a column in the Times argues that the only way to tackle obesity is through fat shaming (yes, you read that right). It’s an astonishing argument to make, and unsurprisingly it falls to pieces under scrutiny. Let’s take a look, and see if we can do better:

With false claims, debunking is less effective than prebunking. 25 studies: rebuttals and fact checks don't do much to change minds. We're better off training people to spot flaws in logic and data. The most important part of education is teaching critical thinking skills.
