Wow he kept it up for 15 MONTHS knowing that the claims were false.

Fuck around and find out

[James Murphy @jamestmurphy_]

@BioLayne That about sums it up.

TONS of other brands impacted too. Consumers end up anxious and misled from fear-bait content given without context.

No, you read it wrong or this is AI slop. The 3x variance was BETWEEN pairs not WITHIN pairs

Try again

[E @TheProtocol_E]

@BioLayne Bouchard 1990 shows how wide that range is: 12 pairs of identical twins were overfed the same 1,000 kcal/day for 84 days. Gains ran 4.3 to 13.3 kg, with ~3x more variation between pairs than within them. Same surplus, different results, and genes help explain it. (PMID 2336074)

By far reducing body fat

[tedrex @pingpongwonton]

@BioLayne What is better for improving health and reducing inflammation, cutting from 22% bodyfat to 10% bodyfat, or cutting out red meat?

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

Please cite this data.

[Thinking, Mostly... @Jhon_galt_]

@BioLayne As far as I understand this isn't accurate. Two identical twins can eat the exact amount of calories every day and differ only in their insulin levels - they will *not* lose the same amount of weight.

So it's not just how much but *what* you eat that matters.

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

Obesity is unhealthy

Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than expended over time

Genetics, environment, trauma, and upbringing can all impact how well we regulate appetite

This makes some more obese prone than others

Shaming people for obesity isn’t helpful

All these facts can co-exist

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

@0xjtseeds @TimproviseDIY Do you have empirical evidence or just conspiracy slop?

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

Imagine boo hooing getting sued when you’ve straight up made up bullshit that has damaged companies.

I’m not a big LMNT fan, but I for one am glad to see people who are full of shit beginning to experience consequences for their actions

[Cormac @cormachayden_]

LMNT is suing us and me personally for $255m, for a social media post.

Plus punitive damages, legal fees and other relief.

This is how big food companies can crush a startup

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

@0xjtseeds @TimproviseDIY Yea, crazy that I base my opinions on objective facts rather than feelings and conspiracies.

Crazy!

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

@trogdonut Uh, 8g glucose per 500ml solution is all you need. So, no. Hardly infinite

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

Overpriced and their “sugar free” marketing bothers me since electrolyte research shows they work better when include a small amount of glucose

They act like “sugar free” is a feature, when in reality they are advertising something that makes it less effective

But they aren’t the only ones and no one gives a shit about research anyway

[Lisa LaBelle @SpaceWarriorX]

@BioLayne o, I just ordered a box of LMNT & they not cheap! ugh, what’s wrong with it? why are you not a fan?

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

@KETOGAINS It’s not really marketed specifically to low carb people though?

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

@garage_gym_dad My product: https://t.co/CwQPFQpqDl

God I suck at marketing

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

@0xjtseeds @TimproviseDIY Or… they just made up arbitrary limits based off zero scientific data 🤷‍♂️

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

Oat milk, inflammation, and cortisol aren’t why you can’t lose weight

You can’t lose weight because you consume more calories than you expend over a given period of time

I’m not saying you’re lazy. I’m not saying it’s all your fault either. Genetics, trauma, & food environment all make things more difficult to control intake

But we can’t improve things if we don’t live in reality. Delusion helps no one

@KETOGAINS Silly me, I thought the point was hydration

For anyone feeling bad for Oasis and their founder…

Oasis published incorrect data about lead levels in LMNT

LMNT walked Oasis through the calculations & they agreed he got it wrong

He proceeded to NOT take down the original posts and left them up for MONTHS

Had he removed them immediately after being made aware of his error, I doubt this lawsuit happens

[Grok @grok]

The sequence gives the suit clear merit on core elements. Oasis posted false lead numbers in Dec 2024, privately agreed the correct math with LMNT in Feb 2025, then left the claims and low scores up for 15+ months. That post-knowledge delay supplies the actual-malice showing needed for trade libel and bolsters the defamation plus Lanham Act counts. The $255 m ask is aspirational and still requires proof of specific lost sales, but the falsity and injunction requests rest on solid ground.

Probably the electrolytes that my company sells. I’m obviously terrible at marketing

https://t.co/CwQPFQoSNN

[Illya Trincher @ITrincher24]

@BioLayne Are there electrolytes that you do like?

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

You’re making a big assumption. I sued someone for defamation 13 years ago and won, and during that time the dude posted about it constantly, threatened my attorneys, and did pretty much everything an attorney would tell you not to do. I think you underestimate how many mental problems many of these influencers have

[David Faber @TheOtherOne33]

@BioLayne I'm starting to believe it's bullshit to get more attention to himself, as he posted this back in August as well. Any attorney would have directed him to stop, especially since (if the lawsuit is real) they are going against Quinn Emanuel. That's not a firm you mess around with.

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

@0xjtseeds @TimproviseDIY lol you got COOKED 😆

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

@LookHey This is not the only company he has straight up lied about
