Ah, it's fine to insult me if I criticize your favourite study on twitter? I guess it's time for a block then. Cheerio

Gid, I flicked through that thread Macro posted - I’m quite stunned with your arguments against Virta. Virta are getting results for so many people - no other program has had such success. If it’s bc “people pay money” - they’re paying for a service.

? There are several other programs with similar results, for example DiRECT, who also ran RCTs (as opposed to virtas problematic cohort) without very large CoIs

Virta is real life, real time. That’s what’s so great about it. Are there other program measuring and reporting results, open to the public?

So is DIReCT? And most of the others? They just minimized bias in their study design Bit weird to see you, of all people, defending an industry-sponsored study that was half marketing piece

The C is for controlled. I’m pro-patient centred, choice, and health. I cannot dispute the outcomes being presented. It would be unscientific of me to diminish people’s health improvement bc “industry”

Yes I’m completely against industry partnerships with DAA, & in public policy....bc evidence suggests there are “no good outcomes from this” Making money is not bad by default. How that money is made is the issue.pic.twitter.com/CxsdBwVZcR

Replying to @WeDietitians @GidMK and
You’ve indicated “several” programs exist....what are these that are getting comparable results to Virta that are open to the public?
