Isn’t it time we called out red meat for what the data actually shows? 🫣 That it’s more pro-aging than any ultra processed food? 😥 youtu.be/LPXWCIFDkgM

Confession: I underestimated @prof-valterlongo.bsky.social for years, but his recent papers rang my bell. Stanford Professor @tamikokatsumoto.bsky.social was gracious enough to go with me to USC to help interview him, and I thought their conversation was utterly fascinating.

It seems crazy that meat could be more unhealthy for longevity than soda, deserts and liquor, but that's the data. I did not see that coming.

My son Mark (in jeans) donated a kidney at Stanford to an unknown recipient. The recipient (center), who thought he was near his end after 4 years of waiting, reached out to him & now they're besties. Stanford has them speak to med students every 6 months.
Jonathan Foley's Stanford speech: "🥩 is the most polluting substance you and I will ever touch with our bare hands, pretty much."
It's shocking to see how popular probiotic pills are and yet how harmful they can be. 😔 Dr. Sean Spencer from the Stanford Microbiome Lab is one of the most fascinating scientists I have ever interviewed.

The most fought-over topic in the American diet is 🥩. The new administration vows to re-make the dietary guidelines and they have a very convincing data point: Hong Kong eats the most and lives the longest, no? Checkmate guidelines:

Fascinating story in @nymag.com about how America's obsession with protein is taking us down the path of more processed food. 🤨 Since protein isolates don't taste good, we add sugar and flavoring to compensate. And protein isolates aren't exactly nutrient dense...
Thank God there are their are scientists like Brenda Eskenazi who devote their lives to studies like these:

This was a key part of my debate at the low carb conference.
Not a private candid moment for me. January's numbers are oh my God terrifying to earth scientists.
This is masterful. 👏 He could have done the viral social media thing of strutting his stuff with no shirt because he has serious 💪, but instead he used air-tight, clear, easy-to-verify facts that everyone can understand.

The great thing about doing this as your expensive 🤑 retirement hobby, is you don't have to worry about what your institution or company thinks, or what it means for your popularity, or whatever. If you believe it's true, you can just say it. 😎 youtu.be/bqQnhq2nEN8?...

There's no doubt genetics play a big role. But Saul Newman is a bit of a nutcase by doubling down on being a contrarian to get attention (it's working). We have many, many populations in the U.S. and japan with verified birth certificates. And the Framingham study also sequenced everyone's genes.
My new favorite dietary guidelines: Spain. 🇪🇸 They took into account the environment, so 🥩 went off the plate.
Heh. We've been interviewing actual epidemiologists 🤓 (who does that?) and they're turning out to be very popular. Surprises me, since the Internet disses them. 🙃

the influencer-to-epidemiologist ratio is stressful
It seems to me ~10 influencers create ~80% of YouTube views about nutrition, and they're influenced by money & fame. Am I wrong?

I don’t know why Tim has resorted to click bait like he has. Popularity on social media is a corrupting influence. 😔
