@DrGundry There is a noticeable emphasis on promoting your own products. This raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the objectivity of your dietary advice. Please abandon this monetization plan and recuse yourself from this modernized quackery you are practicing. <3/3>

[Antonio Rosa @antoniotherose]

@DrGundry Fear-Mongering Tactics: Your approach often employs fear-mongering language, suggesting that commonly consumed foods are harmful without sufficient evidence. This can lead to unnecessary dietary restrictions and anxiety among your followers. <2/3>

[Antonio Rosa @antoniotherose]

@DrGundry Dr. Gundry: Many of your claims, particularly those regarding the dangers of lectins, lack substantial scientific backing. The medical community has not established a direct causal relationship between lectins and the health issues you describe. <1/3>

@martykendall2 @ChrisSmolinski @PeterFaberSP @pjungar @DrEenfeldt @oldglstuf @KenDBerryMD @nicknorwitz @tednaiman Well, a tendency to eat less, but not deterministically so. If I emotionally ate 10,000 calories, it ain't because of high vs. low satiety food. Rather, I ate what's available. (Confounder: junk food is usually the one most available). Other confounders too.

[Antonio Rosa @antoniotherose]

@jonreismanMD Yes, in theory, but I suspect the challenges are:
1) Making the target simply stand still by the MRI for no reason, as it slowly warms up.
-and-
2) Trying to talk over the machine's loud series of rhythmic knocking and thumping noises, pretending it ain't nothin'. 🤣

[Antonio Rosa @antoniotherose]

@jonreismanMD I'm glad clinicians combine intuition with knowledge. That way, more have survived this long without a "DON'T STAND BY THE MRI WHILE HOLDING A GUN" sign.😆

To the youth: MRI + gun = bad idea. Stick to selfies and peace signs.🥇

@jonreismanMD It's okay, it happens more in other disciplines.
I think we know what meteorologists were thinking about when they named mammatus clouds.

[Antonio Rosa @antoniotherose]

@jonreismanMD I'm not saying doctors have boobs on the brain, but in addition to mastoid, there are:
Mammillary bodies: Small structures in the brain, also named for their breast-like appearance.
Papilla: Used in various contexts (like on the tongue), it comes from Latin for nipple.

@CakeNutrition Hi Jake, only if you have a minute to spare and would like to have a laugh at my first nutrition narrative, please check out https://t.co/WWOPOpKkIZ
and bend the knee to agree with me that antioxidants are largely an unnecessary consideration in nutrition. 😆

[Antonio Rosa @antoniotherose]

The overemphasis on antioxidants, even from whole food sources, is unsubstantiated and detracts from more pertinent dietary considerations. (my narrative, attached)

@CakeNutrition Jake, I hope eventually you can present a deeper dive on this. There appears to be biodiversity in terms of patient muscle loss over time. Some individuals seem to retain muscle better than others in otherwise equal circumstances. Most discussions of this don't explore that.

@r55414771 @thelowcarb_rd @BioLayne This does not make exogenous ketones a cure for Alzheimer's any more than a band-aid allows a bleeding body to survive a little longer. The brain always accepts glucose or ketones for fuel, and the story sounds suspect. Did her brain reject glucose as a fuel?

[Antonio Rosa @antoniotherose]

@janellison @BioLayne I just caution to keep one skeptical eye open as you proceed. I'm familiar with Georgia Ede, et al. But as a former keto-maniac, it becomes easy to fall into tunnel vision and credit ketosis for too many things. Yes, it remains a valid epilepsy treatment, but not everything else.

[Antonio Rosa @antoniotherose]

@janellison @BioLayne I find this Stanford study confounded by the fact that almost *ANY* diet can produce metabolic effects that may help stabilize the brain.

[Antonio Rosa @antoniotherose]

@DrNadolsky It's come full circle back to the 1970s when calorie counting, body movement and essential nutrients was primary course of treatment. I once fought this concept when I was in my "Diet Wars" days, but I find it sensible now. HOWEVER, we need more & better appetite control options!

[Antonio Rosa @antoniotherose]

@r55414771 @thelowcarb_rd @BioLayne I believe they do look into glucose spikes, as many articles on PubMed explore the links between Alzheimer's and Glucose Dysregulation. So it's been looked at. Problem is we haven't solved Alzheimer's, and the cure may be more complex than "Just go keto, bro."

[Antonio Rosa @antoniotherose]

@r55414771 @thelowcarb_rd @BioLayne The very, very latest research on Alzheimer's is now suggesting completely different modes of treatment to mitigate it instead of the keto fad that:
Controlling glucose spikes = Alzheimer's immunity ??
No, that direct, deterministic relationship remains fictional.

[Antonio Rosa @antoniotherose]

@r55414771 @thelowcarb_rd @BioLayne Ketones are a valid part of human physiology, and while their value to epileptics & divers for seizure prevention is real, readers should not fall into the keto trap of believing that ketones, whether endogenous or exogenous, can gift someone with super strength or powers.

[Antonio Rosa @antoniotherose]

@thelowcarb_rd @BioLayne Mike, I like your nuanced approach to this. If keto only validly treats epilepsy and confers only a minimal benefit to Schizophrenia & Bipolar that could be confounded by other factors like weight loss's own effects on behavioral health (plus no control in the study), move on.
