Mashup Score: 1Note by The Skeptical Cardiologist on Substack - 1 month(s) ago
I was checking to see if ChatGPT had improved its atrial fibrillation answers and decided to see what it thought of me I like that it considers the skeptical cardiologist “a valuable resource for individuals seeking information and insights into cardiovascular health from a skeptical and evidence-based perspective.” But, its credibility is blown by having me graduate from the wrong medical school (U of Rochester versus Saint Louis University) As to my residency, it was not at Harvard and I didn’t do my fellowship at UCSF. Perhaps it was so impressed with my writing prowess it assumed I must have gone to elite post-graduate training programs

Mashup Score: 0Comment by Sobshrink on The Skeptical Cardiologist - 2 month(s) ago
“… but it is interesting to know that the mean fat intake of the human population has not increased much in the past 50 years.” Exactly! What has changed? The amount of UPF consumption. I agree that the rising incidence of all those conditions in children is extremely worrisome. I would recommend the Van Tulleken book if you’re interested in how UPF is being marketed to kids (be prepared to be outraged), and the article below is also informative. Once again, the Hall study shows that even when macronutrients are held constant (including fat), a diet high in UPF compared to non-UPF increases consumption when people are free to eat as much as they want, leading to excess calorie intake. Most UPF’s are engineered to be highly palatable, making them addictive to some people. Again, I refer you to the Van Tulleken book for the how and why food industry does that. I don’t know about lab animals, because they are highly bred for certain traits, but I believe that typical rat and mice chow i

Mashup Score: 3Supercentenarian and remarkable age records exhibit patterns indicative of clerical errors and pension fraud - 2 month(s) ago
The observation of individuals attaining remarkable ages, and their concentration into geographic sub-regions or ‘blue zones’, has generated considerable scientific interest. Proposed drivers of remarkable longevity include high vegetable intake, strong social connections, and genetic markers. Here, we reveal new predictors of remarkable longevity and ‘supercentenarian’ status. In the United States supercentenarian status is predicted by the absence of vital registration. In the UK, Italy, Japan, and France remarkable longevity is instead predicted by regional poverty, old-age poverty, material deprivation, low incomes, high crime rates, a remote region of birth, worse health, and fewer 90+ year old people. In addition, supercentenarian birthdates are concentrated on the first of the month and days divisible by five: patterns indicative of widespread fraud and error. As such, relative poverty and missing vital documents constitute unexpected predictors of centenarian and supercentenari
