GLP-1s are great drugs for diabetes, but not a cure. In a new "real-world" study: 👉Only 1 in 6 patients on GLP-1s came off insulin 👉GLP-1s were no better than SGLT-2i or DPP-4i Could a ketogenic diet boost effects of GLP-1s and help more patients come off insulin?

The Futility of Calorie Counting: “You could put sawdust into a bomb calorimeter and you would get basically 4 calories per gram.... If you’re a termite, yes, you’ll get calories from it. But humans won’t.” https://t.co/kz9NHIculN 35.7K views · 97 likes · 15 reposts · 10 replies Open on X →

Are Trials of ULTRA-PROCESSED FOOD Reliable? “as good a clinical trial as you can get” “most important study ever done to explain weight gain” “worse than worthless” 👉These quotes by nutrition experts refer to the same study.
