The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
So, yeah, going back to that 88% of Americans are metabolically unwell. I want to highlight the criteria for that. Again, I've posted that study in the past, but we're talking about basically the risk factors for syndrome X or metabolic syndrome, which are high blood pressure, which are increased waist circumference, which are low HDL, high triglycerides, and impaired fasting glucose.
there's a paper that i've talked about multiple times suggesting that only 12 percent of the us population i think based on a 2016 survey is free from any of the markers of metabolic syndrome therefore 88 of the population has at least one indicator of metabolic on health
87 to 90 of the U.S population has at least one risk factor for metabolic dysfunction
90 plus percent right yeah right if you look at any of the indicators right of metabolic dysfunction whether it's low HDL high triglycerides high waist circumference you know high blood pressure right you know and fasting insulin is not even on that list which would have perhaps be the most sensitive indicator of of insulin of insulin dysfunction right or metabolic dysfunction you know 90 plus% of the US population
