So we didn't actually publish what we delivered. We published what they said they ate. And they ate slightly fewer calories and they lost a small amount of weight on the side. So good for you for catching that, but let me have the chance to show you this. And there's actually another Twitter person named Dr. Tro who trolls me and gives me grief for some of my studies.
And he wasn't the one who critiqued me. It was someone else. And apparently he did critique me and I didn't see it. And the next day, I got a Twitter video apology from Dr. Tro. He said, I read your response to the criticism. I admit I'm wrong. I retract my critique.

And if it could be more civil like that, it wasn't even just a message. It was a video message. And I've been, to be fair, he said something the year before where I wrote back and said, this is so cool. We agree on this. I'm sure we don't disagree on everything. Thanks for calling this out. And I want to call out you and agree that what you said I think is true.

Let's try to make this social media discourse more civil and more complete. That was almost better than doing this study for me was to see this social media discourse. exchange where we said, ah, I sort of misunderstood that point. Thanks for clarifying. Wow, now we can move on and deal with some of the real substantive differences that we have.

Okay, cool. Love the Sonnebergs. Justin and Eric are two of the greatest scientists that I've ever worked with. They're practical. They're very rigorous scientists. So there's a little backstory that's kind of fun. Much as this is the first time I've met you, even though you're at Stanford, Justin and I had never met at Stanford.

And we went to a conference in Seattle and met one another because we were presenting after one another. And he said, oh, my God, Christopher, I just saw your presentation where you showed how much you change people's diets. I have colleagues who told me never to go near humans, like only do mice because humans are a pain in the ass and I'm terrified of humans. I was only going to do mice.

But all the stuff I find in mice looks like it's diet related. And I said, oh, poop is icky. I do not want to do poop. But I fear poop. If you fear humans and I fear poop, we could get together. And he said, great, let's do some stuff together. What should we do? And he really found fiber to be the big deal for his mice. And he said, let's do a fiber study with humans.
