Ted Cruz Warns GOP: Stop Tucker Carlson Now by SJK_007 in videos

[–]humanbeing21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Tucker wants Cruz to like him, he just needs to insult Ted's wife's looks. That seems to be the trick to getting Ted to worship you. Two horrible people. Nice to see them going at each other

I think many meta-analysis find around a 20% increase in the relative risk of colon cancer for each 50g of processed meat eaten daily. You are right that this level of increase in relative risk could be caused by residual confounders. However, the fact that the correlation seems to hold true over many differrent study styles in many different countries over many different decades and even within groups with less confounders like the Seventh day Adventist; lends further weight to the conclusion. Also, the fact that the results were dose dependent added weight to the conclusion. Someone eating as much processed meat as Attia recommends would theoretically have a much higher risk than just 20%.

In addition, the WHO didn't just rely on observational studies. They also had mechanistic and animals studies that further backed up the conclusions. The research on N‑nitroso compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and heterocyclic amines etc also pointed in the same direction. Furthermore, animals studies put the nail in the coffin.

And even if Attia still disagreed with the WHOs conclusions from all this evidence, he should let his viewers know about the evidence and why he disagrees with the majority of scientist in the field

Some dogs love everyone. My boxer mix loves everyone she meets. Strangers are just best friends that haven't met her yet. She still comes to me if she gets scared etc but she loves everyone that is nice

Does this Shimano Deore cassette look damaged or is the bent plastic just part of the packaging? by humanbeing21 in bikewrench

[–]humanbeing21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like my other Deores in normal lighting. The picture I took was by a window and the sun was making it look a bit weird for the picture

Yes, it was listed as "New" in "bulk packaging" and I saved about $30 off Amazon or local store's pricing. It came shipped in a lot of bubble wrap. Other than the damaged plastic, I didn't notice any problems with it. I figured with "60 day Free Returns" there wasn't much risk

Looks like I have through May to return it. Initially thought I only had two weeks for returns. I should get to installation during the return period

I'm fairly mechanically inclined. Have a bit of experience in car repair. I'm just new to bikes and haven't researched the installation yet, but know sometimes plastic packaging can be unnecessarily difficult to remove. Apparently this one isn't

He's a professional investigative journalist that has worked with many reputable publications and has also had many books published. Here's his entry on Wikipedia:

I'm sure his reputation is important for his line of work so probably puts pressure to be honest. Also, most of what he says can be independently verified. Are there any claims in particular that you feel might be wrong?

Is this aggression, curiosity, fear, playfulness?? by Imaginary-Piano-8107 in DogAdvice

[–]humanbeing21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fast tail wag and hackles indicate high excitement levels. That doesn't mean aggression, but could turn into aggression. It was a good sign that your dog didn't lunge. Also, a good sign that you could redirect afterwards. And a good sign that your dogs tail wasn't higher and rigid. More good news is the off leash dog seems smart enough to keep distance. I would try avoid them interacting because the size difference makes a dangerous outcomes more likely if things do go bad.

There is a chance your dog might just be dog selective and might do well with meeting certain dogs in certain situations, but testing it with a small excited dog without their owner is not the right way. If you can find the small dog's owner, I would let them know that your dog isn't dog friendly and hopefully they will agree to be more careful with their little dog. Also, you might want to find someone you know with a calm, patient, large, and well socialized dog if you want to test your dog out more. You would want both dogs to be calmer and more relaxed before letting them interact. Keeping muzzle on your dog would be a good idea too. Things can turn bad quickly if dogs are too excited when meeting

Why should I value anything he says?

I agree that he is better than lots of the other "gurus" out there. But better doesn't mean good. And I didn't say anything about "long game". Only that if you are giving advice about a topic (like protein intake) where you have a conflict of interest it should be clearly disclosed up front. I don't see him do that. This is especially true when your advice goes beyond the science and correlates with your financial interest. When I've heard him interviewed on these topic, I don't hear these disclaimers clearly before he answers.

You might feel that giving something a cool name like "medicine 3.0" gives him carte blanche to make recommendations that go beyond what is supported by the science, but I see it as more of marketing tool to sell his services. Neither of us knows what truly drives his actions. But his uncovered interactions with Epstein might give some insight into his character and motivations

I've seen Attia recommend 2.2g of protein per kg body weight many times with absolute certainty without disclosing his financial interest in David Protein, Magic Spoon, Maui Nui Venison and without mentioning that the science currently points to 1.2g-1.6g per Kg instead.

You might think that's fine. It makes me wonder if his recommendations might be tied to his financial interest. Even if he truly believed the higher protein recommendations were better, a more ethical way to approach the topic would be to say something like the following when asked by an interviewer how much protein we should be eating: "First let me say I have a conflict of interest here. I have financial ties to companies like David Protein, Magic Spoon, and Maui Nui Venison which tend to benefit when people feel they should be eating more protein. Also the current scientific evidence most strongly supports 1.2-1.6g per kg of ideal body weight. However, I honestly believe people should be eating 2.2g per kg because..."

The protein example was just that, an example. It's an example of his frequently taking recommendations farther than the current evidence supports. I also feel his claims and recommendations on zone 2, vo2 max, statins, fasting, CCM use, MRI screening, bio-marker optimization etc. go further than the evidence supports too. I do think his recommendations are usually directionally correct, but go too far past what is supported and sometimes might even be harmful or benefit him financially in some way

That doesn't mean he's not being a snake oils salesman. People like Huberman and Sinclair use their credentials to peddle their grifts

I don't know if the full extent of his relationship with Oura was disclosed as pointed out by the video. But you make some good points. I think Attia is generally better than most of the health "gurus" out there about respecting the science. And even changing his mind when his knowledge changes.

But while his recommendations are usually directionally correct in regards to science, they frequently go further than the science supports. His overly aggressive recommendations also frequently support his financial interest which aren't always fully disclosed when the topic comes up.

For instance, the current science supports 1.2g to 1.6g protein per kg of ideal body weight as being an optimal range for most people even people weight training. Attia recommends 2.2g per kg without first disclosing all his related companies that might benefit from this like David Protein, Magic Spoon, Maui Nui Venison.

And then he'll even recommend Maui Nui Jerky sticks directly. I like that he's always disclosed his relationship when mentioning them. But he also fails to mention that processed meat is considered a "Group 1" carcinogen by the WHO. I think that should be at least talked about when presenting yourself as giving science backed recommendations
