How did they do this? Forcing mice to play EA sports games?

Especially if you have to hike up the side of a rock face to pick them.

Reddit and anon internet activity tends to lead to antithetical views, wonder how that was considered into the criteria for analysis

Let’s do geopolitics now. Manufacturing consent is strong on Reddit.

They sell wild blueberries at most grocery stores. Slightly more expensive than “organic” blueberries that are farmed, but not prohibitively more expensive. I already eat 1 cup of them per day because of how many wild blueberry studies have been funded. Get them from the frozen section because freezing the berries first makes the antioxidant compounds more bioavailable.

I'll say it again; poor sample size or misleading "research" should be tagged appropriately. ESPECIALLY in this sub. Meaning it should be a strictly enforced rule. It's cool if this is a first step of a more robust research process, but we should not have to waste our time with this stuff when it's so poorly designed and appears manipulative with questionable motives.

Would that be science in general, or just the subreddit? Because one is a little more understandable than the other

Okay. I’m confused. I need laymen’s terms concerning the low testosterone association.

I find it amusing that people are negativly commenting about science on their computors, laptops and cell phones...devices created by scientists. Oh, the irony.

Thanks so much for having the energy to check that out. I've been considering throwing out a bag of frozen ones I don't like.

I haven't read this article, but I bet it's all wrong.

And such was the beginning of research in Sauroman's laboratory that gave rise to the Urukai.

Between 40 mins of cycling and daily foraging for wild blueberries, I don’t think one would need the increased fat oxidation to burn fat

It should be noted that the researcher only looked at negative comments and did not evaluate any positive comments occurring in the same thread. The researcher should have used an NLP model that weights the balance of comments on an article into a sentiment score.

"Also, the analysis focused solely on negative comments and that is the reason why no positive themes were mentioned in the paper."

Visit one: sign consent forms and be informed of what you have to do.

For the next two weeks consume no anthocyanin containing foods and whatever the rest of the guidelines are.

Visit two: test fat oxidation during exercise after a 12 hour fast after the anthocyanin washout.

Then for the next two weeks consume the blueberry powder. The powder equals 101kcal, which is unlikely to be over 30% of some of these participants carb intake. Their calculation seems off as 92g of carbohydrate in 25g of powder is physically impossible, and the caloric value would be closer to 400kcal. But this may not be relevant, since they're measuring anthocyanin content and effects.

Visit three: test fat oxidation after eating the blueberry powder for two weeks.

There were two diet phases to provide a control of whether the blueberries affected fat oxidation.

Tart cherry is primarily investigated for recovery, not fat oxidation. Cite your source?

Edit: added stuff

Edit 2: added more stuff because this comment is a horrible analysis of the OP study

Science is just a bunch of assholes trying to figure stuff out./s

Ozempec is not a miracle drug. It is being pushed hard by the pharma companies, and describe like some sort of game changing miracle in the media

But if you look at the actual data, the effects aren't always that dramatic. The case where I've seen, not that I've read a huge amount on it, but the case where I've seen where it worked the best was in a group of young people who had weight struggles who also received a strong support system to go with it. So it kind of facilitates weight loss in the case where you're doing other things that facilitate weight loss, including behavioral readjustments etc

The suggest this primary role might be as a facilitator and the existence of other interventions. Which is helpful of course, but not quite the miracle as described. And still part of a program that requires a lot of work, and it's less clear if this will be effective and people in their 40s

And not everybody who takes it gets significant effects.

And it's not clear if the effects really entrenched in their long-lasting, or if you stop taking it after 5 years you'll just bounce back.

Is extremely expensive.

Some hope there but we should be cautious in reading too much into the existing literature, which is fairly minimal, largely funded by the pharma companies as far as I've seen, and hasn't really been widely tested yet.

Ps caveat that I'm no expert on it, and I take it now and it didn't really have any long term impact on my weight, or on the other people I know who are taking it. I dropped 8 lb, then regained a pounds in 3 months, and stabilized where I was before I started taking it. Anecdote is not evidence though.

Everybody should be in here for the figure. It’s a ready-made meme.

that would be double bubble, might be dangerous and unpleasant
