We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.
And and then uh the ketogenic diet could literally save lives and it could cure or be like a really solid treatment for schizophrenia or bipolar or or Crohn's disease or whatever it is uh for like 20% of the population and we'll never find out >> just because we have a science of averages.
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.
And then you have like let's say 50 people here, 50 people here. And then you ask, did the ketogenic diet improve mental health or did it reduce inflammation or right, did it do that? And and then often in RCTs for dietary interventions or drugs, what you find is not really, maybe a little bit, right? And then if this the study was adequately powered and there's like an 8% you know shift in your primary outcome then it becomes p less than 0.05 the the p value the statistically the statistical uh you know value here becomes significant and now you say the ketogenic diet is effective for this or the ketogenic diet does not work you know for for eggs. This and this is I think highly misleading because when you peel the surface of any randomized clinical trial, you find that there are people who were like amazing responders. Like there are people whose lives was changed truly. Uh and then there are people who didn't change anything. And then there are also people who got worse. Uh and then you average everyone. You squish everyone into this average. And then the RCT is is a statistical test of averages. Nobody
