He also did Game Changers, which was elite athletes on plant-based diets. And he wanted to do another one test out like the health of the diet, not in elite athletes, but in the general population.

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 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.
My idea is if I only have eight weeks, I need to make a big difference in these diets so that if I get a signal, I can see it in eight weeks.
There there was a Stanford media report on three pairs of twins. Uh and one pair said, "No, we back went back to our other diet." One pair said, "Yeah, we're both vegetarian now." And one pair was sort of in the middle of that. There's another two of the featured twins in the movie uh Michael and Charlie contacted us afterward and the one who was omnivore said, "We're both trying to be more vegetarian. Can you give us more resources?" So they shifted. Yeah. Okay. So I had So two of the pairs that I know of that we had anecdotal followup with shifted more toward it and one was intermediate and one just completely blew it off.
So, we're going to make a good vegan diet and we're making going to make a good omnivorous diet and we're going to randomize each pair of twins one at a time to one versus the other. And we don't have enough money to do this for a long time. We budget it out and you have enough for like eight weeks of doing the study. And it would be important that people catch on to the vegan part quickly, the omnivorous thing they already do. So, what about the other group? Ah, we'll deliver food for the first four weeks and then for the last four weeks we'll have them cook on their own now that they have enough ideas from having been fed for four weeks.
