The Daily Beast: DeSantis Ate Chocolate Pudding With 3 Fingers
"The bombshell report yesterday. Over at The Daily Beast, there are two sources, not one but two sources that say that on a flight on a private jet somewhere, governor desantis, 8 a container of pudding using three fingers, not just one finger, not two, but all three fingers. And I've done a lot of goofy things in my life. I admit I've never eaten pudding with my fingers. I just wolfed down a Saint Patrick's Day cupcake. Actually, don't tell anyone. I ate two. I'm gonna be in the doghouse with Rachel over at PhD weight loss and nutrition. Once in a while you cheat a little bit, good thing is I know what to do when I go off the wagon and I cheat a little bit, but it was good. But you eat cupcakes, and those aren't easy to eat. 'cause the icing gets on your nose a little bit. I'm not kidding you. That was serious reporting. Sources say Ron DeSantis is a messy eater. And he ate pudding using three fingers. You know, do you realize how badly they want Trump to be the nominee? And I've concluded that this is what they're thinking. They want to take desantis out of contention. They want Trump to be the nominee because they think that Biden can beat Trump.

No cow needed: Oat and soy can be called milk, FDA proposes
"The Food and Drug Administration is proposing that you don't need a cow to make milk. With things like almond milk and soy milk on the market, dairy producers have been pushing the FDA to crack down on plant based milk, saying it's a masquerade and clouds the real meaning of milk. But guidance from the FDA says these drinks don't pretend to be from cows and consumers aren't confused by the difference. Under the draft rules, the agency recommends labeling a product clearly by the plant source of the food. The rules also call for voluntary extra nutrition labels that note when the drinks have lower levels of nutrients than dairy milk, such as calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D, sales of non dairy milk are dwarfed by sales of traditional milk.

Col. Douglas MacGregor Describes Differing Views of War
"You just go a little deeper on that on how Russia views war versus how the west views this war of use war? They have a different philosophy. They're willing to sacrifice greater numbers. They are willing to engage in a war of attrition. This is a concept that a lot of westerners, it's foreign to us. Well, I think that's misleading Charlie to be Frank. I think they've been very economical with Russian lives. All of the commanders have tried to maximize the use of standoff firepower. Missiles, rockets, artillery, to do as much damage as possible. And they've been very successful. 75% of Ukrainian casualties have been caused by those systems. So they have had great success in restricting the exposure of their troops to close combat. Now that won't be possible in the future once the breakout occurs, it'll be more difficult. But the Russians have never taken the heavy casualties at the west insist they've sustained. The west is running around with some crazy number of 200,000 casualties, pure nonsense. I'd be surprised if they had 50,000 to 60,000 casualties. And more than 20,000 dead it's the Ukrainians that have suffered terribly. So I think on the one hand, yes, attrition is part of this, but nutrition is focused on the Ukrainians. And the maneuver will follow the attrition. Once it becomes clear that the Ukrainians are completely broken and they're pretty close to it right now. And they fall apart, then the maneuver will commence.

Study hints healthier school lunch can reduce obesity
"New research suggests that healthier school lunches can help curb obesity. I'm Norman hall, a new study shows a 2010 federal law that boosted nutrition standards for school meals may have begun to help slow the rise of obesity among America's children. The national study found a small but significant decline in the average body mass index of more than 14,000 school kids ages 5 to 18. Their heights and weights were tracked before and after implementation of the healthy hunger free kids act of 2010. The study is new evidence that improving the quality of school meals through legislation might be one way to help shield the trajectory of childhood obesity. It's been rising for decades and now affects about one in 5 U.S. kids. I Norman hall

New rules would limit sugar in school meals for first time
"U.S. agriculture officials have proposed new nutrition standards for kids in school that would limit sugar and salt. Their proposed changes would focus on sweetened foods like cereal, yogurt, and donuts. Reducing the amount of sugar allowed or the frequency that sweets are served incrementally from 2025 through 2027. Sodium levels would be reduced by 30%, and whole grains would be added. Health experts say the reductions could help decrease the risk of disease in kids, including obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and other problems. But some critics say if approved, the new regulations would be a burden to fulfill a 60 day public comment period, begins this month. I'm Jackie Quinn

Absolutely, Julia, really great to be on with you and love what you guys are doing at wild health. Awesome. Well, I'd love to just hear a little bit more about your background and how you came into this field of natural medicine. You're obviously, you know, you have a wide reach and are able to help a lot of people optimize their health. But what led you down this path? Yeah, you know, growing up, I was an athlete, and so I want to do everything I could to perform at my best. And of course, you know, I was eating processed foods and all kinds of junk when I was growing up. My mom was actually studying to become a natural path. So she was trying to get all of us and her family to eat healthy, my dad very much rebelled. And so us as kids, we did as well. But my mom started really appealing to my desire to perform well, and she would tell me about how foods impacted my performance. And that really made an impact on me. It really oh mom, yeah. Diet. And adopt a healthier approach. And I ended up becoming a personal trainer when I was in college, and I really enjoyed that. And back then, I was eating 6 meals a day, 5000 calories, however I could to maintain my muscle mass. And I developed irritable bowel syndrome. So losing 30 pounds developed orthostatic hypotension where I go from sitting to standing and I feel really, really dizzy. I'm starting having a lot of symptoms like that and I was actually starting graduate school to become a chiropractor. And one of my friends said, hey, you know, you should check out this website. Doctor mercola dot com and I got somebody gave me a book. The makers diet by Jordan Rubin. These guys are now my Friends. And so I started reading these books and I said, you know what? In the back then, I was a vegetarian. I was like a lacto ovo vegetarian. I consumed dairy products and eggs, but I thought meat was bad, right? Now, I was all about whole grains and things like that. So, you know, doctor Cole had a book called the no brain diet. And so I was like, oh, I'm going to try this out. So it changed my diet. And it made a huge difference in my health. And I got fat adapted, which I didn't even understand that idea back then sit back in 2005. And because I was fat adaptive, my body was really good at burning fat because I came off of the grains and the sugars and I was consuming lots of protein, healthy fats, and a lot of phytonutrient rich foods. My body, you know, I was very satiated. And so I also had early morning classes in graduate school. And I started just fasting in the morning. And I didn't even understand the term intermittent fasting, but I realized I felt significantly better when I would do this. And I was able to regain my muscle, my muscle mass back, my energy, my weight. In fact, it felt better than I've ever felt, and from there I started my own natural health clinic in 2009, opened it up, actually lived in my office for two years while I paid off my student loans.

Welcome to the nutrition facts podcast. I'm your host. Doctor Michael greger. It's time for the nutrition facts grab bag where we look at the science on a wide variety of topics. Today we start with a pressing question. Why don't health insurers embrace plant based eating? Many of the diseases that cause a constant drain on healthcare budgets can be prevented by proper nutrition. So why aren't the big payers getting involved? I mean, even like a 1% decline in excess body fat cut alone, save tens of billions. You'd think at least the health insurance industry would try to get people to eat healthier to try to pay out less money. Well, one could see the insurance industry actually benefits from high healthcare costs because these rising costs are simply passed on to both individuals and employers in terms of higher premiums. And ensures take a fixed percentage of these premiums as increasing profits. They get a piece of the pie so the bigger the pie, the unhealthier everyone is, the bigger their piece. As such, ensures have not done as much as they could to help reduce healthcare costs because lower costs would hurt their bottom line. What if there was a medication that could successfully treat an even reverse heart disease, type two diabetes, high blood pressure,

The Big Lies of the Left
"Now let me play this clip from Joe Biden. I think it's clip number four. Let's play clip four from this interview with Joe Biden. Do you think states should have a right to ban gender affirming healthcare? I don't think any state or anybody should have the right to do that. As a moral question as legal question, I just think it's wrong. Of course you do. Do you understand the language sandwich and the nutrition that the Democrats use? Do you believe gender affirming, they say gender? Listen, no state blocks grown ups from doing this, right? No states by grown-ups, if you have grown, you can get hormones. You can get you can't get punitive 'cause you already passed puberty. Gender reaffirming surgery. You show me an adult, they can go get their stuff, cut and zip and fold it up. Show me an adult that can't go get that in any state in the United States of America. You can do whatever surgery you want as an adult. But what she's talking about, he's talking about is kids. Don't let them lie to you. They strategically then use the word kids. But they're talking about children because states like Florida and others are blocking states from allowing children to take puberty blockers and to be able to manipulate their genitalia while their children. States have banned that. Because it's destructive as damaging to the child.

"I'm often asked what my opinion about a diet or disease is. Who cares what my or anyone else's opinion is? All we should care about is what the science says. What does the best available balance of evidence published in the peer reviewed medical literature have to say right now? Welcome to the nutrition facts podcast. I'm your host. Doctor Michael greger. It's time for the nutrition facts grab bag. We're going to look at the latest science and whole variety of topics, and we start today with a story on the micro mort. And no, that's not a nickname for your short uncle, think of it as a unit of comparing and communicating risk to patients. Hundreds of millions of operations are performed every year, and the risk of death is typically around a half a percent to which patients might say things like I could just die as easily crossing the road. Making it clear they really don't understand the difference in magnitude of risk. One way to communicate risk is by analogy. For example, just going under anesthetic carries about a one in a 100,000 chance you won't wake up. How much is that? Well, that's about the same risk as an expert skydive. Okay, but that still may be kind of hard to wrap your head around. It's hard to think in terms of small numbers. Like imagine discussing a 17 10,000th of a mile by 22.7 ten thousandths of a mile rug. Like, how big even is that? We need more digestible units, enter the micro mort. As a unit of comparing and communicating risk to patients. A micromort is a unit equivalent to a one in a million chance of dying. One in a million is like the chances of flipping a coin and getting 20 heads or tails in a row. Or a little less than the chances of getting a royal flush. But the real utility is to help compare different risks to one another using the same metric. For example, driving a hundred miles entails about a one in a million chance of death, so that's one micromort. Scuba diving is like 5 micromorts per dive. So each dive is as risky as driving 500 miles. So now we have a way to directly compare the risks of surgical procedures in common activities. So like giving birth is as risky as driving from New York to LA and then back again. But getting a caesarean is more than twice as risky. Even something like a simple hernia repair carries the same risk of dying is like skydiving 200 times. Now, obviously, sometimes you have no choice, but death from varicose vein surgery or circumcision could probably be avoided. I was surprised to learn that regular horseback riding is like four times deadlier than rock climbing. But like getting chemo and radiation for head and neck cancer is riskier than rock climbing for 500 years. Driving 5 million miles or jumping 5000 skydives, et cetera one leading cause of death, I really didn't talk about and how not to die is accidental death. We have approximately a 1 million chance of dying just by accident every day of our lives. In about half of that risk is dying in a car crash, based on U.S. averages. Then there's all sorts of other ways. I'm surprised to learn Americans have about a one in 200,000 chance every year of dying from a foreign body entering an orifice other than the mouth. Other things we may want to avoid include climbing Mount Everest about 30 times riskier than coal mining or base jumping. Trains and planes are actually equivalent over the same distance, but riding a motorcycle is about 50 times deadlier than riding in a car, though cycling to a destination is riskier too, about ten times as deadly as driving in the near term. Here's a good example of how one can use micro more comparisons to help put things in perspective. Certain types of breast implants can cause a rare type of cancer, a type of breast implant associated lymphoma. You can imagine how scary this is for the millions of women who have implants, but check out the risk compared to the risk of other common activities. Your risk of dying from this kind of cancer is less than a single day of skiing. Now it's probably better to die quick on the slopes and all the slow suffering of cancer with the risk of bankrupting your family, but at least it can put the risk of the implant cancer killing you in context. In our next story, we ask, do not eaters, live longer, simply because they swap in protein from plants and place of animal protein. The American journal of clinical nutrition is the highest ranked peer reviewed scientific journal in nutrition. That should tell you a lot about the field. Since it's published by the American society of nutrition, who sustaining partners include the sugar association. Candy bar ends, soda companies, the corn syrup people, and the meat, dairy, and egg industries. And this is the highest ranked nutrition journal. The fact that the national cattlemen's beef association is a sustaining partner may help explain their publication of this article. Imagine you're in the pocket of big beef and big pig. How could you possibly pull off a study showing that eating red meat does not negatively influence cardiovascular disease risk factors? A meta analysis of randomized controlled trials showing that eating more versus less red meat does not influence cholesterol or blood pressure? Doctors Barnard and willett pointed out the fatal flaw in their editorial, the misuse of meta analysis in nutrition research by asking the question compare to what? Of the 39 trial that they had chosen on LDL cholesterol nearly 90% of them were just swapping one meat for another, comparing red meat to white meat. They were

If it's not, no, it's stuff that's food out there that have no nutritional value. It's filler. So your body's not getting any nutrition. And then if you eat foods that don't have any nutrition and I don't have to say I'm a nutritionist myself, you begin to create this environment in your body where it latch on the fats and all these other chemicals and you become fat.

Thanks, doctor gorka for having me. All right, so this isn't an extended promo. This is about you. This is about your life story. And just trying to talk some sense into this whole concept of being the right weight and how so many systems are stupid starvation systems or calorie counting and all that goth. So I found your story originally when we chatted fascinating. So tell us how you got into the industry and originally your struggle with the whole question of healthy weight and the right weight. Yeah, so I spent my first 25 years training at the classical ballet dancer. And I was chronically met with injury. I had stress fractures in my back and my feet. I was always under eating and over exercising to achieve this aesthetic that is demanded by ballet. Right, so you've got to be as light as a butterfly, but then able to dance around for hours on stage. This is the dichotomy. That's right. It's so tough. And I had a pretty successful career because I just constantly bought through it and danced through one injury after another. And the cumulation of my career, I found myself performing up in New York's every dancer's dream. But instead of finding myself up there in the spotlight, I found myself in the ER. I thought I was having a heart attack. I didn't know what was going on, but after a whole bunch of different tests, the physician said that I was simply underfed and over exercised and I just couldn't do it anymore. So then what happens? What was your big life decision? Tell us about the journey from there to where you are today. Well, I was devastated. Like any professional athlete, it was my identity. Didn't have any idea what I wanted to do, but I knew the significant impact nutrition or really lack thereof had on my own sport performance. So I went on and I studied exactly that. I earned my PhD in sports nutrition and chronic disease. And studied what happens to our metabolism when we chronically under eat when we die at all the time.

Yes, most of the reasons people go to see their doctors is for diseases that could have been prevented, but lifestyle medicine is not just about preventing chronic diseases, but also about treating them. And not just treating the disease, it's treating the causes of disease. If people just did four simple things, not smoking, exercising half hour a day, eating a diet that emphasizes whole plant foods, and not becoming obese. That may prevent most cases of diabetes and heart attacks, half a strokes, and a third of cancers..

"It takes something like adult stature, for example, we found at least 40 locations on our chromosomes that have been associated with human height, which is strongly inherited. The gene stream your parents account for about 80% of the difference in height between people. Yet all those dozens of genes we found explained only about 5% of height variation between people. Researchers find those genetic links by using what are called genome wide association studies where you scan through all the chromosomes and look for statistical associations between diseases and any particular stretches of DNA. Okay, that's interesting, but companies marketing genetic susceptibility tests are doing is reinterpreting these data as if they were predictive of individual risks. But all you really getting are modest genetic associations with a slight increase in the risk of disease and with little predictive value when compared to more significant contributions of things we already know, like lifestyle behaviors. Currently, the practice of utilizing the DNA of an individual to predict disease has been judged to provide little or no useful information. For example, let's say your genetic analysis says you're at slightly greater risk for some grave condition compared to others in your ancestral group. This person was given advice to exercise, keep their weight down, not drink too much alcohol and eat fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Okay, I mean, solid advice, but this is how we should live regardless of our genetic risk. And we all know, or shouldn't know, the simple bedrock strategies to reduce the risk of common chronic diseases in general. The problem, of course, is a very few individuals live that way. Actually, to be more precise, almost nobody lives that way. That's not just hyperbole. Nationwide surveys show that nearly the entire U.S. population consumes a diet that is not on par with even the wimpy dietary guidelines recommendations. In other words, almost no one in the United States is eating a healthy diet. Studies like that remind us that from the perspective of public.

"Your family history, how much you exercise. Would that be helpful? Today we start with the question, how useful is personalized nutrition? Personalized nutrition is rooted in the concept that one size does not fit all, and who doesn't want to think they're special. The concept of personalized nutrition is inherently appealing to the human ego, simple messages recognizing individuality, therefore, resonate deeply with consumers, explaining the popularity of such messages and sales and marketing. Even to the point of manufacturing personalized food for people's uniqueness suggesting 3D food printing is a good candidate for a food customization. Now, there are certainly are some legitimate differences between people some have a peanut allergy and keel over if they eat a peanut. And others have celiac disease and have to avoid gluten or genetically are lactose intolerant.

So one of my friends, she has had migraines for, I think many years, but she's figured out her triggers, so she rarely gets them now. And she had COVID, maybe about a month ago. And then she started to get multiple migraines a week. And smother neurological symptoms, some tingling around the mouth. Vision changes. I don't know. Yeah. So, and she has children. Hard to function. And she already eats gluten free, dairy free, but she really cleans things up, focusing on high protein meals, lots of veggies, lots of healthy fats, and it really did make a big impact on reducing the migraines this week I talked to her and she hasn't had one this week. Well, that's fantastic. So it was for her, she noticed a difference pretty quickly. Some people that's not going to be the case though. You have to go into it.

"And we may often have a cohort study that only measures diet. Baseline, for example, or maybe has one follow-up period. Whether that is a positive or a negative depends on the population in which the cohort study is being conducted. Diet does change over time, but it's often incremental and in particularly western developed countries, it doesn't change that much. And this has been shown in cohort studies that have multiple follow-up periods like the nurses health study. And some of the sub components of the European perspective investigation into cancer. So you can have decent reproducibility over time in a population with a relatively stable diet, which many western industrialized countries have. That is still a limitation ideally you would have multiple. But it's not as much of a limitation as it would be in say, for example, a country like China or an Asian country undergoing what they call the nutrition transition. And as an example of that, the Chinese national nutrition survey data, if you look at the mid 90s, the macronutrient composition of the diet reflected what would have been the traditional Chinese diet. It was about 20% total fat 65% carbohydrate in the remainder to protein. And you have a study like the pure study in which diet was measured during this transition period. And they've come to conclusions in relation to both fat and carbohydrate intake that are quite contradictory based on our current knowledge. Yet you look at the Chinese national survey data now. And their average fashion takes about 33% and the carbohydrate takes about 55%. So the fact that there was only a baseline assessment in these studies in this case is a major, almost right off. Because there's been such a dramatic shift in their diet. So it's an important question to ask in relation to reproducibility is that a population in which diet is relatively stable..

"In terms of the percentage increase in bone mineral density in the femur, the femoral neck, the Ganassi had slightly more of an effect than HRT, both of which outperformed the placebo. And also with the lumber spine, HRT had a slightly greater effect. So you saw us a kind of a similar effect on those outcomes with suggested that kind of positive effect of and perhaps related to that kind of mildly estrogenic effect of these which are estrogens. In relation to HRT. But this is not necessarily a consistent finding. There are contradictory findings within the isoflavone research. I think an overall summary would be that there's a mild effect evidence and it could potentially be modified by menopausal status. Certainly if we're looking at just the bone metabolism or bone turnover factors, there is systematic review and analysis of RCTs that came at this year looking specifically at soy isoflavone markers on bone metabolism and you generally see some positive association as in positive impact on bone turnover markers. So there's a beneficial effect on those markers, and the question is how much does that translate into kind of like quote unquote hard outcomes in relation to say BMD or even fractures? There was another 2009 study which was the study is the acronym soy isoflavone for reducing bone loss three year RCT again, postmenopausal women and that was one of the null findings didn't show any effect of the extracted soy isoflavone. Supplement, which was taken from soy protein. I think overall what effect is evident in some of the studies is a mild effect. At this point, like we had mentioned there are others we could have discussed, but in general, though not as important or as comprehensive evidence as we have for the nutrients we have discussed so far. So maybe another time we can dive into some of those other minerals. I think maybe just finish up, there might be a worthwhile just mentioning something about kind of public health nutrition guidelines from this point on given we've talked about the burden of this issue at a population level and how big of an issue it is. And given our discussion of some of these trials where we can see actually some decent differences in that kind of older demographic people in residential care who are probably at the highest risk of some of these fractures. And while that's obviously great to have, I guess, from a public health level, one of the things maybe worth discussing is that avoiding fractures in a relatively small number of people at high risk of small number in terms of relative to the whole population may be isn't really reducing that burden that we're seeing at fractures in the community in that population burden of fractures at some number of events we're seeing in the morbidity from the economic cost that we mentioned to the community is a rising in a lot of large numbers of people who are not at that super high risk level that actually quite a moderate risk. And so because we're seeing that, it kind of leads us into sticky place when we look at some of the interventions we've discussed and their actual applicability to what to do from a public health level if that makes any sense..

"Have the two kind of major cohorts that looked at this in the U.S. where the Framingham and nurses health study, the nurses help study huge study, but it is not necessarily representative of the U.S. population. It's 98% white Caucasian women, but there was 72,000 followed over ten years. And comparing less than 90 micrograms a day, a higher levels. There was a 30% increase in hip fracture risk in people with. So less than 90 is obviously the kind of RDA for women. And then in the Framingham study, they compared the high versus low comparison was less than 56 micrograms per day of K one versus 250 over 250, and compared to that so the group consuming over 250, so that's a lot of K one intake. Had a 65% lower fracture risk. And then if we kind of go over to Asia because the Japanese were the first to actually make a pharmaceutical grade, well, K two supplement. Meno quinone, which is MK four. There's different quinns. So there's different numbers at the end of them that is a reflection of their structure. So meno quinone four and menaquinone 7 are the two prime or vitamin K two derivatives of interest. But in terms of prospective studies in Japan, there have been a number of studies that have looked specifically at K two intake because there's a food source of fermented soybean that's common in the diet and it contains this particular type of fermented bacteria. So natto is the name of the fermented soybean dish, but it's specifically rich in MK 7. And there's been associations of high MK 7 intake and lower fracture risk and slower rate of BMD loss, bone mineral density loss. Particularly in post menopausal women. So we have these western cohorts have looked at K one. They've suggested that higher better than lower and that higher or that certainty low intakes are associated with increased kind of fracture risk. Although interestingly, they didn't find an effect on BMD. And then we go over to Japan, which is a country that's an interesting kind of case study for vitamin K because they have this food source that is rich specifically in vitamin K two. As a product of fermentation. And we've seen some of these associations. And then we kind of get into the interventions themselves. There's a number that have looked at K one and then there's a few more recent that have looked more specifically at K two, again, both MK four and NK 7. In relation to Anna vitamin K one supplementation, the overall kind of conclusion is that the evidence is fairly underwhelming. Sarah booth had a review of the kind of available interventions. Now, it's a little dated at this point. It's 2009. But there is little evidence of benefit in a wide range of supplementation of K one, you know, up to 5000.

"And then we talk through some potential solutions. But again, you're still at the mercy of an ethics board to say, yeah, we think the solution is good. So for example, the use of rescue therapy is something that isn't super common within nutrition, but could be a potential example where you take that group of people and you are allowed to look at that period of time where there's insufficiency with a guarantee that on conclusion of the trial they're all brought up to an adequate level just as one potential solution, but whether a specific ethics board goes for that or not is another question, I guess, right? Yeah, absolutely. So it would be really helpful, particularly because we know from single nutrient insufficiency that adverse or potentially adverse effects of insufficient nutrient intake tend to be quite rapid onset. But there's also rapid recovery. latency. Conditions. Now, that's not saying you're going to give people scurvy, and they'll be like, I hear some orange juice, but part of the problem is to critical eye or even just the passing observers because everyone's interested in nutrition. This is the source of so many Talking Heads being like, oh, we can't trust nutrition science. You know, it's the source of so many of the biomedical purists being like, oh, nutrition's unreliable look. These RCTs found null findings relative to epidemiology, but they don't have the subject specific matter knowledge to even understand why the RCT may be the one that's not the problem. The RCT is the one with the problem here. That's not, you know. And so these kind of gross, stroll on assumptions are made purely at the level of methodological prejudice that the RCT must be right because it's an RCT. And factor in none of these underlying issues and yeah, I basically need to get that paper wrapped up and submitted. I'm going to yeah. This is really important for vitamin D because when we have looked at some of the particularly the residential care setting groups where, again, you can naturally find people who are deficient some of the older trials, you know, the kind of 90s and early 2000s did find a benefit. When you take people with these low levels, you 15 nanograms per milliliter, and you bump that up and then you see, you know, a benefit in some of these interventions. So.

"And then these are examples of why it's really important to have levels of intake. Where your participants are genuinely deficient at baseline. And you bring them up to these sufficiency ranges. Otherwise, how are you expected to see any effect? Right, yeah. And the debate around what threshold we should see as sufficient is kind of important here because I know within that vital trial part of some of the sub analysis, if I have it correct, was they did compare those that had baseline starting of less than 50 and over 50. Now if we're going with North American guidelines of anything below 75 is insufficient. And I think below 50 is really bad, then you would expect to see a big difference there. If we're going with anything above 50 is actually sufficient, then even if someone is a bit below 50, they're probably like not terrible in terms of vitamin D status. And so you might not really see much of a difference comparing that. And then I guess the other thing that jumped out to me there is that we were looking at people 50 and over in this trial around 5 years of follow-up. And with the main outcome being falls, there's obviously then other things that might kind of go into that. And so we could actually be seeing differences maybe in bone, which is end up being leading to differences in falls being measured, particularly when we look at the age group here. It wasn't one of these over 75 or over 80 kind of cohorts. This is 50 plus. And then we're looking at the main outcome being differences in fall rate. So I think those were things that I was just at least making note of. Yeah, as a kind of an anecdote, this was pre COVID when university was still functioning as normal and there was that one of the nutrition departments kind of seminar on professor Susan lanham knew who's the head of the nutrition department, not sorry, but is a prolific vitamin D researcher was talking about this kind of issue in relation to a grant application that Surrey who do a lot of vitamin D research. If I remember correctly, it was going to look at both Caucasian and South Asian populations vitamin D supplementation and they specifically live to this issue if I remember her comments correctly. Wanted to recruit, as is because in the population, there's such a prevalence of insufficient fisherman D status..

"Highlighted. Yeah, well, I think that the contrast between new age and that's an acronym. For people listening and you AGE cops and the vital trial is an interesting juxtaposition between these two studies, the dose is used, the outcomes that highlights these teams that we're thinking of. And then these teams specifically relate to something we've talked about a lot before, which is there's no zero exposure in human nutrition. There's no treatment and true placebo because that assumption that you would have for biomedical RCTs assumes the treatment is a drug that is not otherwise in the participant system. And the placebo then is a true zero exposure. There's no bit of the drug, they're not eating the drug in their diet or getting it from being out in sunshine in this case. So the challenge is that nutrients exist on a bell curve from insufficiency to adequate to potentially access. For the most part, we tend to be concerned with insufficiency to adequacy, particularly as it relates to vitamin D and the background status of your participants is going to be an important determinant of potential determinant of the effects of your outcome. A new age was published at three or four years ago now. And it was supplementing basically 400 international units of vitamin D in elderly adults. It was a multicenter study across Europe and there were on average about 70 years of age at baseline. And there was about a thousand people in the trial that finished it. And it was only a one year trial. And ultimately the conclusion was that this were recommended to follow a Mediterranean style diet, but the supplemental vitamin D additional had no effect on bone mineral density. But then you look at the level of the supplement 400 IU. Now that's in line with current guidelines. But there's a fairly overwhelming consensus that that's probably like kind of throwing a spitball at a tank as far as making a dent in vitamin D levels in the body goes. The baseline levels of vitamin D in the study were 24 nanograms per milliliter. In terms of millimoles per liter, that's about 60. And generally in the UK, 50 or over is considered give or take around between 50 and 75 give or take where you would want to be according to UK and European guidelines. That's the kind of range of intake considered adequate. And this effect of 400 IU of vitamin D three supplementation. Changed over one year, 25 hydroxy vitamin D so the sphere M and D status by four nanograms per milliliter. That's all it changed it went from 24 nanograms to 29. So the conclusions that you get from studies like this have to be taken in this context. Are we saying that this is a null trial in relation to vitamin D, IE there was no effect of vitamin D supplementation. I don't personally think that's a conclusion we can ever just make simplicity in relation to nutrition RCTs. This is something we've talked about a lot. Really the conclusion here is.

"But if we put our focus on calcium to start here, how would you typically frame this of why this is a nutrient that's looked and I suppose probably this is the most obvious to most people, I think if you asked most people in the general population, what nutrient maybe is for strong bones, people have been drilled into about calcium. But what is actually this kind of role that we can why is calcium of interest here? Primarily because over 90% of the calcium that we have is deposited within the skeleton and also teeth as well. But the skeleton is the primary. We don't tend to have much by way of circulation, calcium. This is relevant when we consider studies like Mendelian randomization. But in general, you know, we want calcium to be in the skeleton. And so and as a primary structural component of that. I mean, ultimately, bone is primarily composed of collagen type one collagen and obviously the bone cells that you've mentioned, but then the primary mineral content of bone is calcium and phosphorus. That add kind of mineral density and strength to the actual bone itself. So it is of primary importance in just at the level of the requirements for calcium structurally within the bone. And calcium is being obviously a source of focus in terms of not just public health recommendations, like you said, if we lined up ten people, who know nothing else about nutrition against a wall, you know, they did probably be able to know, oh yeah, calcium and they'd probably be able to make a kind of mental link to perhaps, I don't know ads for milk or whatever. But it's almost a classic example of why studying nutrients from a research methodology perspective is quite challenging for nutrition science..
