Deep dives

Misinterpretation of Mechanistic Data

The podcast episode discusses the problem of using mechanistic data to drive narratives and how this can lead to misunderstanding. It emphasizes that mechanisms are only small parts of the story, and the summation of all mechanisms is reflected in human outcome data. The speaker argues against the claim made by Ben Bickman, PhD, that keeping insulin low and controlling seed oils can keep fat cells smaller and healthier. The speaker points out the lack of evidence to support the notion that individuals can choose how they gain fat and highlights the importance of focusing on the overall human outcome data rather than isolated mechanisms.
