Anytime I try to get an answer to this question I can’t seem to find the answer I’m looking for. Most studies that link meat consumption to negative health outcomes test a typical western diet which includes meat, against a...
Usually in studies on diets you give someone a type of diet regimen and then you study the data. What would happen if one where to do the opposite? What I mean is, have there been any "reverse" studies on...

There was a long term nutritional/diet/longevity study done known as "The Blue Zones" and a subsequent book or perhaps few books was released about it. It was based on the general diets of people who lived in these world wide...
Like the title says. As everyone knows, research on fasting is still not as... abundant as we'd like it to be, and we could use more studies. I've always wondered where do those scientists take people for their studies from,...
In a recent video by Gil Carvalho, he looks at a new review that focuses on the effects of substituting other calorie sources in place of saturated fat. The evidence would seem to weigh against saturated fat. What is your opinion...

I read many things about prolonged fasting (7-10 days) but was not able to be sure if it really increases chance of gallstones. Many reputable sources say yes because gallbladder's contractions are less, but I also saw a study in...

As usual with fasting, the scientific studies seem to be conflicted or inconclusive. I was listening to [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyT3eKhSFjw) podcast with Steve Hendricks, author of The Oldest Cure In The World, where he talked about studies that show it's better to eat...
