• The study enrolled 32 college-age women split equally between a choked group and a control group. — Choking During Sex and Brain Damage Markers
• The small sample size of 32 participants limits the statistical power of the findings. — Choking During Sex and Brain Damage Markers
• Case reports and randomized controlled trials represent the types of clinical evidence being produced for photobiomodulation. — Photobiomodulation: Using Light to Treat Disease
• Photobiomodulation RCTs have been published in top-tier medical journals, lending them significant credibility. — Photobiomodulation: Using Light to Treat Disease
• The egg-cholesterol study was methodologically flawed because eggs were extracted from a broader dataset rather than studied directly. — Berg and DeLauer: Keto Origins, Research Flaws, and Health Deep Dives
• Filtering out the first six to eight weeks of study data is a widely used manipulation that obscures clinically important early changes. — Berg and DeLauer: Keto Origins, Research Flaws, and Health Deep Dives
• The cardiovascular risk associated with breakfast skipping was confounded by the fact that those who skipped were disproportionately smokers and chronic drinkers. — Berg and DeLauer: Keto Origins, Research Flaws, and Health Deep Dives
• The breakfast-skipping study used loaded framing that primed respondents to deny skipping breakfast, biasing the data. — Berg and DeLauer: Keto Origins, Research Flaws, and Health Deep Dives
• The correct framework for evaluating cardiovascular risk is inflammation, not dietary cholesterol in isolation. — Berg and DeLauer: Keto Origins, Research Flaws, and Health Deep Dives
• Before 2005, researchers could selectively publish only favorable results, producing a systematically distorted evidence base. — Berg and DeLauer: Keto Origins, Research Flaws, and Health Deep Dives
