MOA of MCTs – black magic or something less?
MCTs provide a respectable boost in diet-induced thermogenesis (in some studies [eg, Kasai 2002 & Clegg 2012], but not others [Alexandrou 2007]), but I don’t think that’s what does it. The alternative? MCTs aren’t “linoleate.” (sorry for lack of suspense) … Continue reading

Fish oil. Pills or directly from the source? Opus 118.
As a proponent of consuming fatty fish (sardines, salmon, etc.), I was interested to read the new fish oil study; as an opponent of meta-analyses, however, not so much. A meta-analysis is a type of study whereby the researcher thinks … Continue reading

Non-sequiter nutrition
(or another over-caffeinated soapbox rant) Taxing junk food? If I thought the government had a clue what constituted “junk,” maybe I’d view this more favorably. But my gut says no. “Bad food? Tax it, and Subsidize Vegetables” Mr. Bittman, we subsidize … Continue reading

Red meat won’t kill you. It will make you stronger.
While statisticians try to wheedle causation from observational data, they really just end up showing us what health conscious people are like. They exercise more and smoke less, eat more fruit and less red meat, etc. This doesn’t “prove” those habits actually … Continue reading

Fatty acid face off: saturation vs. chain length or an homage to pioneers of nutrition research While both fats contain a lot of 8-12 carbon fatty acids (C8-C12), coconut oil contains more of the 12-carbon fatty acid “lauric acid” whereas … Continue reading
