Incredibly thorough & detailed case report of an individual with DM1 treated with ketogenic therapy for 10 years with significant improvements in metabolic and cardiac parameters. Great work!

There's something about those emulsifiers. And as always, exposure comes first. Then research. And maybe later, regulations. "MDG tends to cause bacterial encroachment into the inner mucus layer and enhance inflammation potential.." MDG is omnipresent. nature.com/articles/s4200…

Beware of maltodextrin. "Since MDX as a filler contributes to a large fraction of the volume in numerous processed foods or supplements, our findings highlight the need to reassess the impact of this compound on human intestinal health" ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

What's better for the brain, a "keto" or Mediterranean diet? While the Mediterranean diet is often praised for its benefits on mental health, recent studies suggest limited impact since the 2017 SMILES study. 🍽️💭 Could a ketogenic diet (or even a ketogenic Mediterranean-style

A new systematic review suggests that our UPF RCT outcome measurement had "high risk of bias", but this assessment does not seem to match the Cochran algorithm that was purported to have been used in this assessment. "Some concerns" seems more appropriate. methods.cochrane.org/bias/resources…

Hoping for more UPF-studies with biomarker mediation analyses. "Biomarkers of liver function have the greatest mediating effects on all-cause mortality (20.3%), and biomarkers of inflammation have the greatest mediating effects on CVD mortality" (29.2%).pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37690589/

This is a commonly debated topic. Given inflammation itself induces greater transcytosis ApoB containing lipoproteins (doi.org/10.1093/eurhea…), it's difficult to disentangle the two. This is the value of prospective data on #LMHRs in particular given they have extremely high

Lean people on low-carb diets who see LDL-C rise were found to have no signficant difference in plaque build-up compared to matched controls, over ~5y. This is a huge breakthrough paper for this group of people. Congrats to @realdavefeldman et al. for this important work! It's
