@hjluks Beautifully put, well done! No doubt other non medical professionals will also relate but it does feel like medical practice exposes us to the full rawness of unfiltered humanity. An addictive simultaneous privilege and burden.
@MohammedAlo@Drlipid@garytaubes Before treating meat as causal of diabetes or anything else I would want to know if the association stands when controlled for known causal variables like total energy content, sucrose/hfcs, refined carbohydrates as well as looking at lean vs fatty meat.
@tednaiman@where_im_at This is one of the most useful metabolism learning points Ive got from you over recent years - explains why its not just carbs. Thanks
@tednaiman@NutritionMadeS3 Awesome Ted! but labour intensive for the nearly everyone on earth that use mmol/L for lipid panel and nmol/L for Apo B. No chance of either showing both or choosing units before you enter data ? I believe ApoB conversion is 1mg/dL=18.18 nmol/L (based on 550,000 g/mol for ApoB)
@NutritionMadeS3@Sixtyminutes23 If only COVID how long would you expect the dip to last. Surely insulin resistance related pathology is at least part of the plateauing.
@BenBikmanPhD IBS & IBD are different things Ben. IBS frequently attributed to plant food triggering. For IBD its less clear but it would be pretty unlikely food has nothing to do with it of course.
@tednaiman Well its made in the liver so if you choke the cells with triglyceride it shouldn't be a total surprise if hepatic synthetic function takes a hit
