@Gearoidmuar @drpablocorral It’s a reasonable argument to look at smoking. It’s an important point that a causal risk factor doesn’t have to have 100% penetrance. In addition, a very high percentage of humans have atherosclerosis on autopsy, especially over the age of 70.

@Interferon_G @drpablocorral HDL and denovo cholesterol synthesis are are the primary sources of cholesterol in the adrenal gland which is why hormone levels are normal in people on lipid lowering therapy

@theproof @reallyoptimized @__Jon_Power__ @YouTube Since Cleerly is an automated analysis that doesn’t require human input, why does blinding matter? And why would Cleerly have any bias to push the results to look worse?

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@stathi_ @ZKForTre How is an automated analysis biased? Particularly one that has no human input and has been validated against invasive IVUS. Odd take.

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@realDaveFeldman @anthony_chaffee Since Cleerly is a completely automated analysis, how does blinding influence the result?

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@runeindark @cremieuxrecueil This is the correct answer!

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@cremieuxrecueil You are assuming he is arguing in good faith

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@alexleaf As a practicing cardiologist, Tro’s take is very odd.

> 75% of heart attack patients in 2025 do not have diabetes.

In the 1960s, when cv mortality peaked, the prevalence of diabetes in people with heart attacks was very low.

@AmmousMD @aubiea1 This is a narrative review by Joseph Mercola of all people. Wow

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@MatthewJDalby I find it interesting that people can’t distinguish between Hamas intentionally using hospitals as military bases as a way of creating faux outrage versus indiscriminate targeting of civilian populations with no military objective

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@alexleaf @MurseDarius It’s a rising number of acute liver failure cases. 40% of drug induced liver failure cases are due to supplements.

Since these supplements have no scientific evidence behind them, variability in dosing, and rising toxicity it’s seems like a reasonable precaution to avoid.

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@alexleaf @MurseDarius I personally wouldn’t risk liver failure given that level of evidence

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@MurseDarius @alexleaf Why bother? Is there scientific evidence that these supplements have a beneficial effect?

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@alexleaf The liver doc addressed those meds below in his thread. The incidence of liver failure with statins is vanishingly small. Nearly unheard of. Temporary increase in liver enzymes. Maybe.

Tylenol never causes liver failure outside of accidental or intentional overdoses

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@ZKForTre Are these tweets for attention, etc or does he really believe these things?

It’s so hard to to tell

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@JesperLundbom @theproof @realDaveFeldman @Lipoprotein What happens to the LDL receptor on a high saturated fat diet?

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@DavidLBrownMD @ZainAzzo @Lpa_Doc The simple answer one causal risk factor goes down by a lot and another causal risk factor goes up by a little

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@nyrbhimself This has to be the most naive tweet of all time

Imagine knowing less about human history and not knowing that 50% of children didn’t make it past puberty until a century ago

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@MatthewJDalby That is an absolutely bizarre take. This is a deal with the devil.

You think Israel wants to release convicted terrorists?

These are the demands of Hamas, not Israel

[Jason Infeld, MD @infeldMD]

@alexleaf @ZKForTre If it doesn’t make you feel better at some point or make you live longer, what is it doing?

You have a citation for saunas?

Overexposure to which toxicant?
