New episode with @DrBSteamjets 📢

Lots of excellent details on methods, stats, and critical appraisal in nutrition.

My old account @LouiseMBurke has been clearly hacked - believe me, crypto isn’t one of my “Ch” things. X won’t delete the hacked account or restore it to me, so jump ship and join the real me on a space where we can talk all things sports nutrition. Lots of new stuff to discuss!

@stevemagness @Gonzalez_JT @ProfTimNoakes I don't think this is about the level of control or lab- vs field-based studies. You can absolutely study what works in a real-world context - but randomisation is key to actually identifying whatever is actually working.

[James Betts @DrBSteamjets]

@stevemagness @Gonzalez_JT @ProfTimNoakes ...but you can never tell what thing actually works without testing to see if other things are causing the results you see? For that we need to systematically try different things (i.e. some controlled experiment). Observational evidence is useful but correlation is not causation

NEW PAPER
How long should washout be for reliable assessment of de novo lipogenesis (DNL)?

Our data suggest washout can be as little as 3 weeks without biasing estimates of hepatic DNL in the overnight fasted state

Why is this important?…
