I mean, this study was so far removed from "snorting sugar = good for lung disease" that I don't even know where to start JUST LOOK AT THE TITLEpic.twitter.com/JxbKQqPhFu

Study is here, and it's fairly interesting stuff. Basically looks at how glycolysis regulates the pulmonary immune response in both in vitro/vivo modelshttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41590-019-0352-y …
So, basically, tests how lung cells react to a different levels of glucose availability and use and how that might relate to infections and inflammationpic.twitter.com/p4vs8EnONf
Now, it's ~possible~ that this could one day result in some sort of treatment It's interesting, novel, very cool But
Any therapy from this research is decades away. It's an enormously complex finding and only the very first step in the research pathway
And it's pretty unlikely that it will be anything as ridiculous as "snorting sugar"
IF this research pans out and IF that results in a treatment and IF that is effective in actual people then maybe, maybe it'll be something like this story impliespic.twitter.com/bEKp7ZpVpT
Oh dear.
That conclusion is a bit of a reach, even for them...pic.twitter.com/zDR3kpxnEt
