1/ Make no mistake -- this is a biggie. Props to @ethanjweiss, @cadiulus, and @TheVeggieMD for helping to make this possible.

While I personally land more on the animal product side of #Keto, I wish #PlantBasedKeto would get more attention as a choice many can explore...
2/ In @ethanjweiss's second bullet he states:

"We believe that eating all or mostly plant-based fats is not only possible but very possibly optimal for cardiovascular health."

Read: likely lower LDL-C/-P

It's worth taking a moment to unpack this further...
3/ I state often that I'm "cautiously optimistic" with regard to higher LDL when #Keto if it is for metabolic reasons, but as always, I don't claim certainty. For those who want to be #Keto, but would be more comfortable with lower LDL, this could be a viable alternative...
4/ With all that said, I do want to be a good scientist and likewise concede I don't know long term effects of higher quantity M/PUFA oils when combined with more whole foods-based diet as this would be, but I'm inclined to assume the positive given the diet composition overall.
5/ The most important point I want to drive home is choice.

It's unfortunate to me that so many people feel the two best diets are a high carb plant-based or low carb animal-based diet -- which is why I wish more people were aware of #PlantBasedKeto as an option.

1/ This is the latest response from @davidludwigmd and co to @KevinH_PhD and co.

I feel incredibly fortunate to observe this dialog in real time. Props to each team.

Want to emphasize this is possible due to extraordinary data/methodology #transparency.

nature.com/articles/s4136…
2/ As I’ve spoken on before, I value “public review” much more than simply peer review. By making all the data and methodology publically archived, @davidludwigmd and his team met the gold standard I have been very vocal about since entering this space.
3/ Full public availability of the raw data and methodology means anyone in or outside academia can provide further analysis, feedback, and criticism.

I can’t possibly emphasize enough how strongly I advocate for this approach.

1/ I’ve been asked about this a lot recently, so here’s my update.

It’s been 17 months since I started the #WaterOnlyChallenge where the only beverage I drink is water.

Nope — no coffee, tea, diet soda, kombucha or anything but still water, full stop.
2/ It was tough at first given I was a chronic cola drinker my entire life, but it got easier and easier with each passing month. Now I rarely think of drinking anything else as the habit is strongly ingrained.
3/ One of the more interesting comments I get from some people is:

“Oh yeah, I pretty much only drink water. That and a little bit of coffee.”
Me: “How often do you drink coffee?”
- “Pretty much every day.”
- “You could try cutting out the coffee—“

1/ for what it’s worth, I don’t think being nice is strictly about pleasing others and being courteous. For me, it’s also about professionalism, easy collaboration, and inviting challenge. In fact, that last one might be the most important, particularly with #Science...
2/ I want to be receptive on every counter idea to my own. This is why invest so much time speaking to those with opposing views. I want to understand where they’re coming from and why. Many of my strongest opinions came from trying to defend its opposite unsuccessfully...
3/ And I’m certainly not perfect at this, I always feel like I could do a lot better.

Sometimes a friendly debate goes south and I spend the rest of the day thinking about what I could do or say differently to keep that from happening in the same way again.

1/ (Thread) Some people have asked me to share more about my weight loss and fitness journey. I don’t talk a lot about it, mostly because I’m super embarrassed by the photo on the left. I know 267 was my highest weight- but I’m not sure I was actually 267 in that particular photo
2/ But I didn’t like having my photo taken at that weight (odd for a professional performer, right?) Anyway, I was suffering from Hashimoto’s with not a lot of help from an Endocrinologist, beyond the advice of “lose weight.” Obvi. I was trying.
3/ I was also in a very stressful/negative work environment. I was eating a whole foods diet, and hardly ever ate processed foods or dined out, and was doing cardio 3 times a week. No weight loss. I felt terrible. So I started tracking everything I ate through MyFitnessPal.

In this article, we express our critical position towards using #CRISPR to engineer #pigs so that do not reach puberty. #Livestock farming should be designed with animal sentience at its core, we should not modify #animals to fit inhumane systems. allianceforscience.cornell.edu/blog/2019/07/a…
One aspect that the article does not mention and that we clearly indicated as being problematic is animal suffering during #experiments involving #CRISPR: painful #malformations, #abortions, are common "side effects" of such experiments.
Our original statement said "#CRISPR has a high potential for causing severe #animal #suffering during the research phases (such as abortions, perinatal mortality, malformations)

Watch these public comments! It's like a showdown of plant-based vs low-carb/keto.
Commenter #13 = @WaliPriyanka and she just dropped the MIC on this committee. "THE DGA is a Joke. Know your audience. Half of the country is prediabetic. Sugar intake should be 0%!"
@WaliPriyanka Commenter #7 = @low_carb_doc pushing for a low carb / keto based on science and practice.

tonight’s charlottesville city council candidates forum is hosted by the sierra club and will focus on environmental issues
i’m really excited for the june 11 primary but only because these forums will stop for a while.
tonight’s forum is not being livestreamed. unlike the forum hosted the people’s coalition & CLIHC, only the 5 democratic primary candidates are here.
this is the lowest turnout i’ve seen at one of the forums, with the exception of the one held at UVA on a rainy weekday afternoon

The most depressing thing about Brexit debate is that two years since the start of the Brexit referendum the same arguments are just being repeated over and over again. Brexiters have no viable plan to make Hard Brexit work, Remainers have no viable plan to make Return possible.
Brexit UK resembles nothing more than an overturned car with its wheels spinning in the air whose drivers and passengers still haven't noticed that all forward motion has become impossible
The absurdity of the millions of words, the tons of newsprint, the infinite amount of online time spent in the UK debating desirable Brexit outcomes when in reality the UK's economic and political future will be determined by the EU27.

So many people come to Chennai and want to do things or eat good food and some helpful bloke tags me but I don't end up seeing it in time. So I'm going to be pretentious and set up a thread on what's good in the city IMHO, for ready reference.
Disclaimers: None of these are 'paid' tweets, I'm no food writer, please don't quote tweet and tag restaurants or brands it just makes everything super awkward.
Also I'm sorry if you disagree with me, but again, this may not be the best of Chennai list but its what I like. Make your own thread. Mute this one. Boo.
