Why Food Questionnaires Keep Misleading Nutrition Science
Predictive equation derived from 6,497 doubly labelled water measurements enables the detection of erroneous self-reported energy intake
Researchers analyzed nearly 6,500 measurements using doubly labeled water—a gold-standard technique that tracks calorie expenditure by following harmless isotopes through the body to measure how much carbon dioxide a person produces over time. Using this data, they developed a new method for identifying inaccurate food questionnaire responses. When applied to large nutrition databases like NHANES, the model suggested that roughly 27% of self-reported dietary records were physiologically implausible, with underreporting especially common in people with higher BMI.

‘Pharma, not really’
Why AI’s top young talent isn’t interested in a career at big drugmakers
Many of the most promising young AI researchers are choosing careers in tech over pharmaceutical companies. At one of the world’s largest AI conferences, students and postdoctoral researchers repeatedly described big pharma as slower-moving, less innovative, and less attractive than companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind. Pay was a major factor, but many also felt pharma undervalued scientific creativity and treated AI experts more like support staff than leaders in research.

The power of camaraderie in group training
Backstage at the 2011 CrossFit Games, Coach Glassman spoke with Fast Company about the impact of group training. He explains that moving from one-on-one coaching to classes created a unique environment where camaraderie and shared effort elevated performance. Quoting Michael Perry, he describes the dynamic as “agony coupled with laughter.” Training alongside others, he says, pushes individuals to give more of themselves, creating a level of motivation and performance rarely found in traditional gym settings.

A Short History of Saturated Fat
The making and unmaking of a scientific consensus
In this 2023 review, Nina Teicholz traces how the diet-heart hypothesis—the idea that saturated fat causes heart disease—became widely accepted despite weak early evidence. First proposed in the 1950s based largely on observational data, the theory gained momentum through influential figures and institutions like the American Heart Association and was eventually built into global dietary guidelines.

Cardiovascular Risk Factors on a Ketogenic Diet in Type 2 Diabetes
One-year intervention showed broad improvements in metabolic markers
In this 2018 study, Bhanpuri and colleagues tested a continuous care model using carbohydrate restriction to induce nutritional ketosis in people with type 2 diabetes. Over one year, participants showed major improvements in metabolic markers, including better blood sugar control, lower triglycerides, higher HDL, reduced inflammation, and lower blood pressure, along with reduced medication use, while the control group showed no meaningful changes.

Publication Bias, "Hyperpalatable" debate & GLP-1 Myths
Part 2 of Gary Taubes on The Feldman Protocol podcast
In this second part of their conversation, Gary Taubes focuses on how bad science and entrenched belief systems distort nutrition research. He argues that dominant ideas—like energy balance—persist not because they are well-tested, but because careers, institutions, and funding structures are built around them. This leads to publication bias, resistance to contradictory evidence, and a tendency to ignore or reinterpret data that doesn’t fit the prevailing model.

How to actually fact-check TikTok/Instagram campaigns in 2026
This article looks at the viral campaign proposing that the public collectively buy Spirit Airlines, and uses it as a case study in how to evaluate online legitimacy. Mia explains that many traditional signals—like a polished website or rapid launch—are no longer reliable, since AI tools now allow anyone to build professional-looking sites in hours. As a result, surface-level credibility cues have largely lost their value.

How Clean Is Your Bathroom?
Why caring about the details reflects the quality of coaching
Speaking at FilFest 2010, Coach Glassman shares a simple way he evaluates the quality of a training facility: he asks about the cleanliness of the bathroom. The question isn’t really about sanitation, but about pride and attention to detail. While coaching skill and technical knowledge can be learned, genuine care for clients is harder to teach. A clean and well-maintained facility reflects a deeper commitment to excellence—when coaches truly care about their clients and their environment, the technical aspects of training tend to fall into place.
