This recent study by Kevin Hall is awesome.

It investigates the impact of different weight loss methods on the 'lipostat'-- the body fat regulatory system in the brain that opposes weight loss efforts.

I will personalize your diet for 300$ as well but no need to mail me your 💩

Saturday in lab brought to you by iced coffee, blooming cherry blossoms & unforgiving 🐀schedules

Arrivale first, next Zoe. The privatized model of generating research funds that involved selling people hyped personalized advice isn't gonna save nutrition research. Commodity boards & interested billionaires won't either. We need a less cringe revolution in nutrition funding.

Exploratory physiological experiments are not clinical trials: Cell Metabolism cell.com/cell-metabolis… Very important letter. Failure to understand this distinction will adversely affect studies of human biology

. Jennifer Gunter sent me a turmeric product page being advertised in the menopause space and its so scammily predatory its absurd. Hey U.S. FDA FTC - time for some warning letters.

Disastrous news from the Philippines- the Court of Appeals has sided with Greenpeace and the antis in blocking vit-A enhanced Golden Rice, which is now in widespread cultivation in the country. All planting must now stop, harming the interests of millions.

mtDNA heteroplasmy dynamics are so complex, even paradoxical. To understand why, we combined precise mtDNA editing w/a new method SCI-LITE. In dividing cells, selection (not drift) acts on cell (not intracellular) fitness to shape population heteroplasmy. rdcu.be/dFDCY

it's a really cool time for nutritional biology, with the advent of cohorts with GWAS + metabolomic data rapidly facilitating the discovery of genetic determinants of nutrient status, and many targets revealing unknown cell biology of nutrient homeostasis.
