Feldman and Norwitz's revised preprint has been in peer review for 6-7+ months. Likely being torn to shreds

Since January 2026, no revised versions (v2) have been uploaded to the preprint server. So, despite Feldman stating on Substack that they are actively making revisions and addressing review feedback, none of those updated analyses or revised versions have been made publicly available or logged as a new preprint iteration.

From what I can find online, typical cardiology papers and statistical review takes 2-3 months, so a 6-7+ month delay is a massive red flag. Likely means that reviewers are finally, and rightfully, tearing apart the unadjusted linear models, missing baseline confounders, and numerous data inconsistencies. Likely getting rejected from multiple journals to boot.

Also, no new data has been released. At all. Zero transparency here.

Dave Feldman’s projection: After Grok & Dr. Steven Quartz called him out for running a Motte-and-Bailey defense strategy, Feldman tries to accuse his critics of the exact same thing to hide the rapid KETO-CTA plaque progression

5 images:

1 & 2 - the callout: Dr. Steven Quartz and Grok (lol) explaining why Feldman's public framing of LMHR is a classic Motte-and-Bailey.

3 - the projection: Feldman copying the term hours later to ask Grok if Simon Hill is using a Motte-and-Bailey, only for Grok to state that his cohort had prior metabolic damage driving plaque growth.

4 - the reaction: Dr. Spencer Nadolsky and others laughing at the goalpost move, noting that inclusion criteria was explicitly designed for the "healthiest of the healthiest," yet now they're claimed to be "unhealthy enough" to explain away their arterial plaque progression.

5 - bonus: Fragile influencer ego, hypocrisy, and blocking critics.

eta: reposting because I had the wrong image for #2

El Sazon will close its Minneapolis restaurant: "This isn't the ending we had hoped for'

It's the final curtain for El Sazon Cocina & Tragos. The south Minneapolis restaurant specializing in tacos, birria and other casual Mexican bites announced it will close in mid-August after a nearly three-year run.

"After many sleepless nights and difficult conversations, we've made the decision to close El Sazón Cocina & Tragos," owners Cristian and Karen de Leon posted on the restaurant's Facebook page. The last day of service will be Aug. 15.

When the restaurant opened in the fall of 2023, it was met with much fanfare. The de Leons built a cult following after launching El Sazon from a small kitchen inside an Eagan BP gas station, where their Night at the Gas Station dinners remain a hot ticket. The expansion into Minneapolis meant greater access for metro-area diners and the ability to offer cocktails. It would also give chef Cristian the chance to feature a larger menu of Latin American fare in a sit-down setting. The Cocina & Tragos concept evolved over the years, shifting from fancier fare to a more casual menu.

The couple has been forthcoming about the jarring experience of starting out in the suburbs and then opening a restaurant in Minneapolis, noting the higher costs of labor and permits. Those costs made profitablity a challenge, they said.

"We should have done better research," Karen de Leon told the Star Tribune in late 2024. "Unless it's a really good deal, I wouldn't open another place in Minneapolis."

The Carnivore-to-Psyllium Pipeline, followed by Xitter Crashout: the Dr. Noah Kaufman saga

Pic summary:

​

  1. Carni-clown posting only a couple of months ago 🤡

  2. New diet today

  3. Xitter followers in disbelief

  4. Presenting this change as an "experiment"

  5. **Crashing out.** "Who can we trust? I can't trust scientists or even myself!"

  6. Defending his decision to lower saturated fat consumption!

  7. Unable to admit to any specifics regarding his blood work.

  8. "Cholesterol targets are different for everyone! Do your own research!"

  9. **Crashing out.** "JFC I'm doing an experiment!"

  10. **Final crash out** from an absolute refusal from his Xitter echo chamber to accept basic physiology.

​

This dude wants to treat his prediabetic markers and his soaring atherogenic particles in peace (on Xitter of all places), but he’s realizing he can't leave the echo chamber without them tearing him apart.

​

The final "State of the Union" tweet is him realizing he built a cage out of his own grift / brand.

​

Truly something to watch.

The duplicity of Nick Norwitz: If the LMHR phenotype means high LDL isn't atherogenic, why brag about bio-hacking it down by 360 points using two experimental drugs?

This stupid f*** is a shameless, pathetic grifter.

The Cholesterol Code: does the keto film's science hold up? | foodfacts.org

## Introduction

​

The Cholesterol Code is a 2026 documentary film (directed by Jennifer Isenhart, built around citizen scientist Dave Feldman) arguing that high LDL cholesterol is harmless for lean, metabolically healthy people on ketogenic diets. In this scientific review, nutritionist TJ Waterfall and Dr Matthew Nagra weigh the film's claims against the evidence: it is right that metabolic health matters, but its central claim — that very high LDL is benign — runs against decades of genetics, epidemiology and randomised trials showing ApoB-containing lipoproteins cause heart disease.

​

## Who reviewed The Cholesterol Code for FoodFacts?

​

This scientific review was written by registered nutritionist TJ Waterfall and Dr Matthew Nagra, drawing on 29 peer-reviewed sources listed in the Resources section.
