What leads us to ignore experts isn't their knowledge. It's their arrogance. Evidence: Scientists are more credible when they admit what they don't know, acknowledge what they got wrong, and update their views. Trust is earned by expressing humility, not by asserting authority.

The good idea comes when one person feels comfortable enough to say something that might make them look stupid and their friend is open enough to recognize its potential.

As corresponding author, I agree about fallacies of low fat, low carb. Using such a lens allows for diet categorization, but grossly oversimplifies. The NMA of 14 diets shows best was Mediet (& lifestyle), which is not very restrictive. Needed: RCTs on whole food vs X vs Y diet

Amazing to watch every outlet attribute these findings to UPFs and seed oils when the study doesn't even look at this. The assumption that eating more linoleic acid -> higher tissue arachidonic acid enrichment has fueled so many handwavey hypotheses despite metabolic regulation

Thanks, Arun! Here’s the link to the California Executive Order directing state agencies to investigate health risks associated with UPF, synthetic food dyes, and other additives, and to recommend public actions. Highlighted text in the figure below gov.ca.gov/wp-content/upl…

We need evidence-based ‘research’, where high quality, original, up to date systematic reviews and guidelines identify the gaps, and drive much needed clinical nutrition trials. And the trials need to measure outcomes that matter to patients and the public

Like most allied health professions, RDs report not having had enough training in evidence-based practice (and most want more training). Lots of room for uplifting EBP, starting with crdns and krdns (which drive national examinations)! See Table 1: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38159813/

‘We would want our students to excel at writing well-crafted prompts. But one cannot learn to ask good questions, without first submitting to the cloister discipline…, acquiring the skills that can nowadays be acquired only in strict seclusion from AI’ thetimes.com/comment/column…

#RealWorldData advocates facing challenges addressing sources of bias suggest causal modelling as a solution. Doesn’t work. Comparison of 19 modelling studies with #RCTs showed 42% differed in direction and 47% of confidence intervals didn’t include RCT estimate.
