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.
"manifold higher TMAO plasma levels were observed in humans after ingestion of fish and vegetarian diet than after ingestion of red meat and eggs".
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.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
tmao yeah you make it from things like carnitine in your gut but you also get a ton of it preformed from seafood which is consistently associated with good health outcomes in the literature
that when you see high levels of tmao and cohorts like this epic cohort these people are eating a lot of fish there is pre-formed tmao in fish why do we not believe that fish is harming us probably because in general fish is okay for humans
