This marks the first time since at least the 1940s that Harvard has taken such action against a tenured faculty member. The investigation, initiated after concerns were raised by the Data Colada blog in 2021, concluded that Gino manipulated data in at least four studies published between 2012 and 2020.

The ROS Hypothesis of Obesity
A reassessment of insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance
The ROS hypothesis of obesity posits that excessive insulin sensitivity—driven by high intake of polyunsaturated fats like linoleic acid—is a primary cause of fat gain, not insulin resistance as traditionally believed. This theory argues that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a vital role in signaling cells to limit insulin’s effects and prevent excessive nutrient storage. Polyunsaturated fats reduce ROS generation, weakening this signal and promoting fat accumulation, while saturated fats generate more ROS and help regulate insulin signaling. As such, the modern shift toward polyunsaturated fats may have inadvertently fueled the obesity epidemic. Dietary strategies to counter this include reducing linoleic acid, increasing saturated fat intake, or adopting low-carb or ketogenic diets to minimize insulin signaling altogether.

The Lifting Shoulder
Should the shoulder remain fixed or should it elevate, moving toward the ear, during an overhead lift?
"To answer the question regarding the shoulder’s role in overhead lifting, we want to look to the methods and techniques of athletes who lift or support substantial loads overhead in the normal course of their sport; evaluate those methods against any observed, trusted and acknowledged principles of human performance; and conduct local experimentation, where it is ethical and sensible to do so. We evaluate methods experientially, theoretically and clinically, but each step has an empirical nature. Even our theories have utility only insofar as they are consistent with observation."

Aimed specifically at childhood chronic diseases, Thursday's report takes on diet, environmental chemicals, inactivity, and overmedication.
"The American food system is safe but could be healthier. Most American children’s diets are dominated by ultra-processed foods (UPFs) high in added sugars, chemical additives, and saturated fats, while lacking sufficient intakes of fruits and vegetables. This modern diet has been linked to a range of chronic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. The excessive consumption of UPFs has led to a depletion of essential micronutrients and dietary fiber, while
