@CoffeeBlackMD Lmao! This one struck a nerve!

[Allen Green, MD @AllenPGreenMD]

It’s okay for people to disagree with you about your favorite diet. It shouldn’t hurt your identity. If it does, maybe you’re in a cult.

@ok6ixx Let him know he’s started a movement. Stay Dangerous!

@meagankae @BillFeuer @nicknorwitz @foundmyfitness You think saying a diet is losing steam is an attack on a segment of the population?!

It’s a diet.

[Allen Green, MD @AllenPGreenMD]

@3xpops @foundmyfitness Sorry to hear it

@paulctan @MarkBski When was your heart attack?

[Allen Green, MD @AllenPGreenMD]

@racisttechbro @nash_vandy1994 @IamSean90 Perhaps. It’s just that this chart isn’t evidence of that.

[Allen Green, MD @AllenPGreenMD]

@Drew43698320 @IamSean90 The point of the chart was clearly to show that mass incarceration lowers murder rate. Except that doesn’t align.

A broader “being tough on crime” argument would be more accurate

[Allen Green, MD @AllenPGreenMD]

@BrentAWilliams2 Do you think it’s the inequality itself or how low the floor is?

If it’s inequality, you have to put a ceiling on success. If it’s the floor, we need better safety nets and probably a form of basic income.

[Allen Green, MD @AllenPGreenMD]

@nash_vandy1994 @racisttechbro @IamSean90 Are you looking at a different chart? It literally does not coincide at all.

There is a 6 year delay between the drastic drop in murder rate (from its peak to a 20 year low) and the increase in incarceration.

[Allen Green, MD @AllenPGreenMD]

@nash_vandy1994 @racisttechbro @IamSean90 It had dropped to a 20 year low before the increase incarceration.

It did keep dropping, but the chart makes it appear that something else was the primary driver of the reduction

@gooboii69 @n_fiction @creepydotorg @grok Both men had complications due to surgeries that were needed because of injuries / medical emergencies that may or may not have been related to bodybuilding.

[Allen Green, MD @AllenPGreenMD]

@n_fiction @creepydotorg @grok Most of the effects of exercise are not from hyperplasia. Muscle growth is predominantly hypertrophy

[Allen Green, MD @AllenPGreenMD]

@180_NoScope @Bwhite4363 @creepydotorg @grok Rich Piana likely had a drug induced heart attack. Drugs as in cocaine.

[Allen Green, MD @AllenPGreenMD]

@naasking @IamSean90 The incarceration rate was steadily increasing while the murder rate skyrocketed.

I don’t doubt that incarcerating murderers would lower the incarceration rate. This chart just does a terrible job making that argument.

[Allen Green, MD @AllenPGreenMD]

@cremieuxrecueil You can make a “right” decision given the information you have that ends up being “wrong” when more information is available.

[Allen Green, MD @AllenPGreenMD]

@Drew43698320 @IamSean90 That may very well be true. The point is the chart posted to prove that is not doing that.

[Allen Green, MD @AllenPGreenMD]

@Andrea25633402 @grok @_jtbsr @aclong111 Sure. Everyone welcomes a properly conducted randomized controlled trial with proper informed consent

[Allen Green, MD @AllenPGreenMD]

@Andrea25633402 @grok @_jtbsr @aclong111 Screening the general population has been shown to not be useful or effective.

[Allen Green, MD @AllenPGreenMD]

@Andrea25633402 @grok @_jtbsr @aclong111 We do screen other areas of the body for atherosclerosis and poor blood flow. But only in specific populations.

Ankle Brachial Index and Carotid Artery Duplex Ultrasonography come to mind.
