Summary

Have you heard the buzz about the new Netflix docuseries, You Are What You Eat? Has another friend told you they are thinking about going vegan “for health reasons”? Not to worry, we watched the docuseries and read the study so you don’t have to! Tune in to hear us give our hot take on the Vegan vs. Omnivore Identical Twin study. In this episode, we respond to the Stanford Vegan Twin study and the docuseries that came out of it. We cover the actual results of the study which were not impressive, how the results were misconstrued in the docuseries, and what actually happened to study participants in terms of their metabolic health and body composition! Plus we discuss B-12 deficiency, why TMAO isn’t as simple as the docuseries makes it out to be, and why we always have to follow the money when it comes to pieces like this.
