    Potential role of microbiome in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), 2020, Lupo

    Leaky gut is seen in many autoimmune conditions and is believed to worsen symptoms, and in the case of inflammatory bowel disease changing your diet can lead to remission (various methods, which if I remember correctly is mostly researched in kids - the theory being that the poorer results in...

    News from Scandinavia

    Using the article where Skei (Wyller's boss) is criticising activists for the fact that he/Wyller did not get funding for an LP study is an interesting choice since Forskningsrådet wrote a reply to that article a few days later saying there had not been "too much patient involvement" and that...

    BMJ: Rapid response to 'Updated NICE guidance on CFS', 2021, Jason Busse et al, Co-chair and members of the GRADE working group

    Even when it says that the debate should continue. To me that seems like a very simple thing a journalist (not referring to you @dave30th) could have asked anyone who uses it to end discussion, but I've never seen that happen in Norway at least. It's just taken at face value that the report...

    News from Scandinavia

    In this article in Dagens Medisin ("Daily Medicine", a newspaper for medical news) the authors write about how important it is to have an holistic, biopsychosocial view of the patient when treating chronic fatigue (CFS/ME mentioned). Long term chronic fatigue and pain are no longer medically...

    The LP study is mainly at NTNU, Wyller is just a co-supervisor from the university in Oslo, I'm not sure UiO needs to stand up to anything as things are. Stølen (headmaster at the university Wyller works at) has previously used the complaints against the LP study as an example on how activism...

    Once-Weekly Semaglutide in Adults with Overweight or Obesity, 2021, Wilding et al

    That we don't find this mixture of fat and starch/sugar in whole foods is very much part of the debate, at least where I live. Norway has one of the fastest growing rates of increased visceral fat in Europe :( I don't think things we're not used to eating necessarily tastes "more and more...

    Once-Weekly Semaglutide in Adults with Overweight or Obesity, 2021, Wilding et al

    Another possible reason for why the placebo group didn't lose as much weight is that they could have given up after guessing they were not, in fact, getting the drug. Are people who joins in drug trials for weight loss more likely to believe they need the help of a drug to see results, and thus...

    Once-Weekly Semaglutide in Adults with Overweight or Obesity, 2021, Wilding et al

    To me it's easy enough to explain why you like wholemeal bread, your body enjoys food that contain the nutrients it needs. ;) Very simplified :P Eating nutrient poor diets may lead to increased energy intake as you would need more food to meet your nutrient needs (satiety is not just about...

    Once-Weekly Semaglutide in Adults with Overweight or Obesity, 2021, Wilding et al

    Not only are these food low in nutrients, they also mess with satiety signals, making it easy to overconsume them.
