New Online Course
The BSI Critical Thinking Class
This course confronts why so much modern “science” inspires confidence but fails under testing—showing how weak reasoning, misuse of statistics, and deference to authority undermine real knowledge. You’ll learn practical tools in logic, induction, and probability to evaluate claims based on predictive power rather than credentials, across domains like medicine, policy, and everyday decisions. The class goal is to help you think more clearly, navigate uncertainty, and become much harder to fool.

The missing ingredient in medical training: evidence-based nutrition
Dietary education leaves doctors unprepared to treat chronic disease.
In this column, Dominic D’Agostino contends that poor diet is now the leading driver of chronic disease and mortality in the U.S., yet medical education largely fails to equip physicians with evidence-based nutrition training. Medical students receive fewer than 20 hours of nutrition instruction—often rooted in outdated dogma—leaving doctors trained to manage symptoms with medication rather than address underlying metabolic dysfunction such as insulin resistance and poor blood sugar control.

Are ultra-processed foods responsible for obesity and chronic disease
BSI Medical Society Journal Club
The November Broken Science Medical Society Journal Club, hosted by Pete and Bob, examined claims that ultra-processed foods (UPFs) drive obesity and chronic disease. They reviewed the NOVA classification system and questioned the subjectivity of UPF definitions, especially the idea that processing alone—rather than nutrients or total intake—is the primary cause of poor health. Discussing Kevin Hall’s trial and

The heart of effective coaching lies in attitude, experience, and training environment

Hereditary Cancer Syndromes and Mitochondrial Dysfunction
New review challenges the genetic-only model of inherited cancer risk
Co-authored by BSI’s Bob Kaplan, this review examines hereditary cancer syndromes through a metabolic lens, arguing that inherited gene mutations increase cancer risk primarily by impairing mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation rather than acting as direct genetic causes. Surveying more than a dozen well-characterized syndromes, the authors show that none are fully penetrant and that nearly all are associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and a shift toward substrate-level phosphorylation—core features of the mitochondrial metabolic theory of cancer.

The Feldman Protocol Podcast
Emily Kaplan joins Dave Feldman to discuss the blunt question: is modern medicine structurally aligned against prevention? Emily makes the case that incentives, not evidence, increasingly shape medical practice. They discuss conflicts of interest in research, the reproducibility crisis, metabolic health and lifestyle medicine, GLP-1 drugs, nutrition education gaps, and why outcomes often matter less than headlines.

Soybean Oil, Oxylipins, and Obesity: Why Fat Type Matters
Mouse study links linoleic acid metabolism—not calories—to diet-induced obesity
This Journal of Lipid Research study tests whether obesity risk depends on the type of fat consumed rather than calories alone. Mice fed isocaloric diets high in soybean oil (rich in linoleic acid) gained significantly more weight and developed fatty liver and glucose intolerance compared with mice fed coconut oil–based diets.
