The credibility of major health influencers is important.

One such influencer is Dr. Ken Berry.

Dr. Berry has 1.65M subscribers on Youtube and is a major voice on Twitter.

However, there are several credibility issues with Dr. Berry, including:
In 2010, his license was reprimanded for "untrue or misleading statements" by the Tennessee Medical Board.

apps.health.tn.gov/DisciplinaryEx…
In 2016, his license was placed on probation for "unprofessional, dishonorable or unethical conduct" for prescribing opioids, benzodiazepines, and other medications despite normal physical exams--and prescribing controlled substances to family members.

apps.health.tn.gov/DisciplinaryEx…
In 2018, the probationary status of Dr. Berry's license was extended due to a long list of additional infractions.

apps.health.tn.gov/DisciplinaryEx…
As per Dr. Berry's profile page at apps.health.tn.gov/licensure/, Dr. Berry has also had his membership at the American Medical Association suspended due to "unprofessional conduct".
Dr. Berry's license continues to remain on probation by the Tennessee Medical Board.
If you see any health misinformation posted by Dr. Berry, we strongly recommend you reporting it to the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners.

Given Dr. Berry's track record, they are clearly listening.

Fact check.

Does "skipping meals make you live longer"?

A thread.🧵
In a recent tweet, @harvardmed professor and controversial longevity guru @davidasinclair claims:

"It is incontrovertible that skipping meals while maintaining adequate nutrition is not only good for you but will make you live longer"

But what do the data say?
First, some context.

On the @joerogan podcast and others, Sinclair claims that he only eats a single meal after 6pm, and explains that this is optimal because humans are made more resilient by doing such a thing.

Fact Check

Is inflammation the cause of heart disease, and not cholesterol?

A thread👇
There is better evidence for cholesterol (specifically LDL) as being causative in cardiovascular disease than almost any other theory in modern medicine.
So many lines of evidence converge on the same conclusion that if this theory is wrong, then almost all of modern medicine is also false. A figure from a consensus paper from the European Atherosclerosis Society makes this clear. academic.oup.com/eurheartj/arti…

Do vegetable oils cause disease by increasing oxLDL or OXLAMs? There is no good evidence for this. Image
In earlier posts, we saw that:

1. There is no evidence that vegetable oils cause inflammation ();
2. Paleolithic animal fats like deer organs are richer in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) than domesticated animal fats from beef or pork ();

Are vegetable oils “toxic” or “inflammatory”?

Evidence strongly shows the very opposite of this widespread myth.

Thread Image
Yet despite the constant drumbeat of science showing the healthfulness of “industrial seed oils”, an equally persistent drumbeat from the likes of Mark Hyman and others maligns them.

What is the truth? Image
Well, one paper published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition in fact showed that olive oil, soy oil, and cod liver oil all decreased some markers of inflammation. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21326271/ Image
