It's not a sixth sense. It's a well-honed skill from years of engaging with these kinds of claims and books. But I don't expect you to trust me. I *do* expect you to trust the collective wisdom of many oncologists. https://www.thecut.com/2015/06/problem-with-the-grain-brain-doctor.html …https://www.wired.com/2015/04/alternative-medicine-believers-journey-back-science/ …

Oh, yes. Many of the claims made for ketogenic diets as a treatment for cancer definitely set off my bullshit detector.

I think you'd agree that it's basically a historical law: Whatever the popular weight loss diet of the day happens to be, it gets claimed as a panacea. A couple decades ago it was a vegan diet.

I'm willing to believe that a vegan diet does good things for T2 diabetes, etc.! But I just get suspicious. That's all.

Again: I'm no expert here. I have not read the book. But I think it's essential to acknowledge that we don't need to read things to find them suspicious.https://twitter.com/AlanLevinovitz/status/1003082644626821120 …

Alan LevinovitzVerified account @AlanLevinovitzAuthority doesn't work like this. Sometimes you don't have to read the book. For example: Have you read the many pages of complicated math and structural mechanics written by people--scientists!--who think 9/11 was an inside job? Do you believe them? Exactly. https://twitter.com/eeo361/status/1003081401611292672 …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

For sure! And I'd love to see some clinical trials. They don't even need to be RCTs--a large population observational trial of people choosing ketogenic diet as adjunct therapy would be a good first step.
