IMHO, its worth examining why the retards think such things. My answer: leaders of the low carb/carnivore movement constantly push incorrect ideas, and there is little to no gatekeeping performed by the leaders. Then you get the myths and misinfo. This is a striking difference from how things are done in hard sciences in academia. Examples 'carb foods are trying to kill u', 'carb foods are incompatible with human metabolism', 'you need to eat fat to burn fat', 'butter is a free food because it doesnt raise your insulin', 'carnivore cures Type 1 diabetes'. The only person I have ever seen trying to combat these ideas are you, at times, and @TuitNutrition and of course there is @KETOGAINS and @robbwolf . The result of all this is when you go into the large social media groups, people are saying and doing absolutely crazy things. The Jimmy Moore days are over and there should be some consensus amongst the 'leaders' to stop pushing bombastic nonsense because it counteracts the good that could be done, otherwise it will always be mysterious, fringey and loaded with conspiratorial and dumb supporters.

@freddysxg @Tesla Nice! You’re gonna love it.

[Dr. Ryan Attar @ryanattar]

@Tesla FSD is amazing. Using every iteration of it since 2021 and it keeps getting better.

[Dr. Ryan Attar @ryanattar]

I got really lucky with my teslas. Had a good deal on my preowned 2019 from Tesla (had an accident in its history, but nothing wrong with the car and came with a warranty).. also came with FSD, so never really had to buy it.

Then last year they allowed FSD transfers to new cars, plus 0% financing on models 3s so I upgraded to the 2025.

FSD is my favorite thing about teslas and I’ve never even had to pay for it!

[Dr. Ryan Attar @ryanattar]

@jrwedgewood @Tesla Same here. I have a model 3. I’ve been looking at used model X’s for the family

[Dr. Ryan Attar @ryanattar]

I got my first Tesla in 2021.. was a preowned 2019 model 3. Then FSD only worked on the highway. Was still awesome. They’ve slowly added more and more features. Now, sitting in my driveway, I punch in my destination, and hit go.. I never touch the pedals or steering wheel, and it drives door to door, parks in driveways or parking spots, whatever you tell it. I never have to intervene, it drives great.

@ItIsMikeFitz Expecting poor sleep when you cut? Probable inevitable?

[Dr. Ryan Attar @ryanattar]

Fair enough... I honestly don’t have strong views on the conflict myself, I was just making a point about method. Facts can be checked but the “why” comes down to interpretation, and that goes for the counterarguments here too.
BTW, I appreciate your nutrition content. You’re one of the more careful and reasonable voices out there.

[Dr. Ryan Attar @ryanattar]

Gil, agreed the source alone doesn’t decide truth, and the Goebbels comparisons aren’t arguments...

But “cite even a Hitler study” works for experimental science, where data can be checked and rerun regardless of author. “Why Hamas attacked” isn’t that...

It’s an explanation from historical sources, and more than one could fit the record. We can’t randomize this, so one's interpretation carries weight. So fair that an analyst’s framework carries weight? Not necessarily to dismiss it, just to evaluate it like any interpretation.

@DropAPinShow @StoolMintzy Iran is the obvious answer, but the Persian empire did extend over modern day Saudi Arabia… so technically correct?

[Dr. Ryan Attar @ryanattar]

@ItIsMikeFitz Old Patches O’Houlihan Fitzpatrick. What a legend!

@Cr7Godbrand @PatsyDiabetes I can’t believe people on this platform dare to question Nurse Patsy. Wow.

[Dr. Ryan Attar @ryanattar]

@PatsyDiabetes @MisfitPatriot Damn, people are really questioning Patsy?

@PatsyDiabetes @MisfitPatriot Damn, people are really questioning Patsy?

"Essential" means the body can't synthesize it. It doesn't mean non-essential nutrients aren't beneficial, or that eating only the essential nutrients is optimal.

Otherwise, why eat meat at all? Skip it and drink EAA shakes… why take in the non essential AAs in meat?

Creatine, taurine, carnitine, carnosine, glycine… all non-essential nutrients, and all touted by carnivore advocates as benefits of eating meat. And they are right saying this. Those things are indeed beneficial…. and also non-essential.

This essential / non essential mantra is stupid and should be retired… it cuts both ways. By the same logic, a carb advocate could argue that dietary glucose spares glucogenic amino acids from gluconeogenesis.. the protein-sparing effect of carbohydrates.
