The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
Every cell in the body produces lactate and And pretty much every cell in the body consumes lactate.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
and it serves as an almost universal nutrient they're transporters that'll carry it into virtually any cell in your body these are the mch or is it the uh the mct transporters neither yeah these are called mct transporters or so it stands for monocarboxylate because lactate has one carboxylic acid if you think of it as a chemistry perspective and so those transporters are ubiquitously expressed and they allow lactate basically to go everywhere
what's an MCT well we were looking for the lactate transporter protein and uh said ah we got scooped somebody found it and she found out it was a lactate transporter and so they were called monoc carboxilate Transporters
