Fish Oil, Body-Fat Set Points, and Junk Volume (Episode 76)

[@kylebeng]

Are people really complaining about length of episodes? I love more information!

[@JuliusCaesar103]

Greg should be more thankful Eric invited him again.

[@Henrik_Holst]

Especially considering that he is only temporary :)

[@yazilliclick]

I don't know, I only bother listening to shows where he has him on as a guest and skip the rest.

Learn the show history Greg's been going foe 5 or 6 years

there is a guy on reddit with a 500lb bench who does what the bicep person was asking. they work from home and i think every hour or two they would just go in and hit a set of bench and then go back to work. so some times during they day they would hit ten sets spread out 14 hours.

Quick note on Visconti 2021: 1) they had a shorter n-3 supp period than Van Dusseldorp 2) used 6g and 8g; however, the EPA+DHA dose was only 1.8g and 2.4g respectively. Van Dusseldorp's 4g and 6g groups provided more EPA+DHA then Visconti's groups 3) both studies did not measure n-3 status before or after supp (one of the issues discussed by Anthony's SR)

Cool to see Nick Hiebert (the Nutrivore) mentioned. He's got a ton of interesting content.

If you're just going with what's in the comments, I'd enjoy a weekly 6 hour podcast. I'll go ahead and assume that's happening for next week.

As a MD, I never think of fish oil or epa/dha as health supplements , since the effect is so minimal and mainly studied on young people whos risk of dying is incredible low. However, they can cause problems with blood clotting, so people with diabetes, cancers, significant atherosclerosis, family history of clots or bleeds etc. should avoid them. Bear in mind that these diseases/disorswrs are commonly undiagnosed for months, years or even decades. The significance of the effect is debated, but there is some pretty decent evidence for it. Also, in population scale, I have never met a patient with health problems due to inadequate epa/dha intake. It just dont believe this is the thing to consider in your nutrition. Its just an afterthought of an afterthought I still struggle to see the benefit for strength or hypertrophy. Are we really saying an athlete is significantly better after 10 years of training and fish oil supplementation than without the fishoil (since this is the primary outcome we want)?

Isn't epa prescribed as medicin in Høgh dosis?

Check up on the science mate ! A can if sardines every day

[@chainsong9546]

man, this idea of sets per workout is a tough one...i, personally, at 51 years old, with three years training, feel that 6-8 sets to "failure" just isnt enough psychologically---i just dont feel satisfied....but what is failure? and what does hard work mean to each person?...i raced bicycles for 22 years---the training was grueling, the races inhumanly difficult, so for me workouts in the gym just seem so easy---so i guess its sorta relative from a psychological standpoint

[@jamesk5369]

I think you’re also maybe mistaking the feeling of tough with actual physiological changes, for example a workout might not feel as tough as another but it still would be enough to lead to hypertrophy. Also this is general recommendations so maybe you just are more of a beast than most and can handle/get more out of more volume!

Typical Eric shilling for Big Seed. Just kidding, as I'm sure Greg knows the only bad seed is seed that's been spilled on the ground.

[@davidkim3477]

What’s the need to keep the podcast at an hour? Seems arbitrary.

[@kapower06]

The Nutrivore? What a joke, ask him why he won’t debate Bart Kay on these topics. Humans are obligate carnivores and can handle some plant matter at times of famine or starvation but that will lead to negative health outcomes.

[@TheNutrivore]

I'm perfectly comfortable answering that question here. There are essentially two reasons why I don't care enough to debate Bart Kay. A) He has publicly expressed skepticism toward the need for epistemic consistency. B) He debates entirely for optics, rather than a substantive search for better knowledge. I find it completely uninteresting to be content fodder for somebody who feels no onus to be coherent. That's not a debate at all. It's just feeding a troll, and if I participated that would just be rewarding him for playing his dishonest optics game.

[@kapower06]

@@TheNutrivore since you refuse to debate him. Then perhaps provide a video of you actually rebutting his points, show where he is wrong with studies, and show his skepticism toward the need for epistemic consistency. Do you feel that NHANES/epidemiology is relevant to human nutrition? How do you feel about corruption and skewing of “findings” to support an ideal or corporate interest? a la seven countries study, blue zones, etc…?

[@TheNutrivore]

@@kapower06 I don't need to make a video. I can just link him to the Duhem-Quine thesis and then ask him to provide a defeater. Given his use of causal language, you'd think that he would have one. If he does, the entire field of the philosophy of science would be very interested to hear it.

[@kapower06]

@@TheNutrivore asking someone what they ate over the last 6 months, then the researcher deciding what to label that food as is not scientific. This is not asking for a perfect experiment. This is about how unreliable anything dealing with nutritional epidemiology is. I’m curious to what your beliefs are on human evolution and the appropriate human diet. Did your parents eat a SAD/western diet their entire lives? Have you done blood work or biopsy to put your money where your mouth is with these dietary claims? Do you feel cholesterol, trigs, a1c, or c peptide is indicative of one’s health?

Thank God we are omnivores! It's much more adaptive. I love both my plants and animals for food.
