2 to 3 Cups of Coffee a Day May Reduce Dementia Risk. But Not if It’s Decaf.

You know that coffee & dementia study that's going around?

It's hogwash.

For starters, it's not pre-registered (that I could find), which means it may have been the product of a fishing expedition looking for dementia associations.

But even if it's not ...

Sugiro a eles trocar por ferraduras. Que além de tudo trazem sorte 🤞

Valeu. Eu comecei com o Duolingo por diversão enquanto estava em Viena. Mas atualmente, pago uma professora de carne e osso mesmo 😉

Só quando eu dominar o alemão, o que me dá ainda muitos anos pela frente 😉

E continuo sem saber falar alemão 😁

I’ve called GLP-1 agents like Ozempic and Mounjaro "miracle drugs." But a new study forces me to re-evaluate that moniker.

The miracle has a problem: It ends when the prescription runs out.

Let's look at the data on the "Rebound Effect." 🧵

Eu gostaria de lembrar aos colegas anti-vacina que estão apagando suas postagens às pressas da seguinte máxima de Hipócrates: “O print é eterno.”

Ketogenic Diets and Depression and Anxiety This systematic review and meta-analysis assesses the associations between ketogenic diets and mental health outcomes in adults, with a focus on depressive and anxiety symptoms.

Quero falar sobre a meta-análise de Dieta Cetogênica na Depressão e na Ansiedade que saiu no @JAMAPsych porque sei que amanhã a PICARETOSFERA inteira vai repercutir e vocês precisam saber o significado desses achados. Segue o fio 🧵. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Já tem MUITO mais evidências do que outras coisas que, lamentavelmente, foram incluídas no SUS (homeopatia e outras bruxarias do gênero). Não estou sugerindo a inclusão precoce, mas era só pra não deixar passar isso...

Nem sol tem😂

This is a fascinating story.

A Lebanese team published a study showing massive benefits for apple cider vinegar in 2024. People immediately noticed it was problematic, and complained.

BMJ asked the authors for the data, and they sent it through. The study has just been retracted and WOW 1/n

Soft Drinks Probably Aren't Making You Depressed Why soda/pop/soft drinks probably aren't causing depression.

New piece out - do soft drinks give you depression?

Probably not. The evidence is SUPER weak. gidmk.substack.com/p/soft-drink...

10/n Regardless, all of this fuss and noise about soft drinks and depression comes from a cross-sectional study that only assessed soft drink consumption at one time point and did not follow-up patients at all.

Which is absurd.

4/n This is straightforwardly meaningless scientifically. It was a cross-sectional survey of food consumption with some gut microbiome assessment thrown in. According to their methods, the only covariates included in the logistic model here were age and sex.

Science can be such a headache sometimes.

This study has hit the headlines because the authors claim that it shows that soft drinks cause people to be depressed by negatively impacting their gut microbiome.

Several BIG issues with this 1/n
