And or, you know, my friend tried this and they said it worked, so I'm going to try it. And then I've also gone to the group of, well, there's no human randomized control trial, so I don't believe it. And I think now, you know, I'm 42 now and I've been doing this for two decades. I think where I'd fall into is it really depends on how the individual is talking about the evidence.

OK, so as you can probably imagine, I get sent a lot of stuff for people to like, oh, debunk this. And a lot of times people will send me things and I'll go, hey, this person said this is their opinion. That's fine. Like I may disagree with their opinion, but I'm not going to like rake them over the coals for them saying this is an opinion or this is my personal experience. That's evidence.

It's low quality evidence, but it is evidence. I think I kind of fall in a line of I ideally want to see human randomized control trials, but. There's also, as you mentioned, practical limitations with how things are implemented. And I think one of the things that gave me a very unique perspective was the fact that I was doing my PhD in nutrition after I did a bachelor's in biochemistry.

So I had that mechanistic understanding. And then I had an absolutely wonderful PhD advisor, Don Lehman, who just – shout out to him – got a Lifetime Achievement Award by the American Society of Nutrition 20 years too late. But he was just incredible at being able to understand the small things – But how they impacted the big things and what it looked like overall.

It's like a conductor looking at a symphony, right? And understanding how the trumpet sounds affects everything else, but then not getting so tied up in that that he can't hear all the music, right? And he was so good at that and was so good at getting me to think that way.

And so I think where people out in the landscape trying to dissimilate this really struggle is they don't really know, well, this person decided to study and they equate that as evidence that's equal with any other evidence, right? And as a researcher, you know, not all evidence is created equal. Not all journal articles are created equal.

And I mean, honestly, people who don't have a research background, it's hard to unpack this stuff. So What I would say is you have to be very careful with people who cite studies. And one of the things I'll say, too, is there's nothing more dangerous than somebody who's read a biochemistry book because they're going to see pathway, biochemical pathway. There must be an outcome.
