DietDoctor is a group of doctors focused on metabolic health, it does not have a relationship with Feldman. https://www.dietdoctor.com/about/team-diet-doctor

David Feldman has never called himself a doctor

Yes, people with agendas fund science, the results speak for themselves, that is the purpose of science - publish reproducible results for others to replicate.

he funded the study, organized it, sourced the volunteers, etc.

The paper hasn’t been updated, the cleerly AI is part of the original paper.

The updated model data is presented in a preliminary form in the lecture, papers still pending.

Right, so the paper using the cleerly model only showed one person reversing plaque, but the two new ai models which don’t have a artificial floor, do show 30% plaque reversal. That’s the second reference to the YouTube talk.

The interesting thing here, is this group of 100 people following a strict ketogenic diet, mostly carnivore, had imaging done at the beginning and the end of a year. So we can apply any models to it that we like, it’s interesting that in 2/3 of the AI imaging models they show 30% of the people with plaque regression

The benefit of AI here is it makes it a quantitative analysis, assuming the AI model is stable. When we involve the humans to do scoring, there’s always a question about consistency, and bias in the outcomes.

As far as I’m aware plaque regression is basically unheard of at all in any literature outside of case studies

Thank you! Identifying sockpuppet accounts took some doing, but it has been really a fun adventure. Here is my moderation policy if you want the details https://hackertalks.com/post/13655318

Thank you for your organic downvotes!

Actually its 30 sockpuppet identifications so far.

The original study: [Paper] - Plaque Begets Plaque, ApoB Does Not: Longitudinal Data From the KETO-CTA Trial - 2025

The update with new AI imaging: New KETO-CTA Data - Clarification and Update on Cleerly

These didn’t really get downvoted because the trigger words were avoided, and the communities are actively pruned of disinterested people, if you are looking for downvote brigading I could dig up examples for you

Yeah, lemmy can be very emotional!

Trying to keep a community on topic without that level of gut reaction is a sisyphean task https://discuss.online/modlog/696952?page=1&actionType=ModBanFromCommunity but i try anyway

Ohhh, this 100%

I just posted a plaque imaging study using AI analysis showing people eating the carnivore diet reversing plaque buildup by doing over a year of a strict ketogenic diet.

People I could have offended

• AI
• diet zealots
• anti-keto reactionaries
• CICO advocates

But instead I used a name without any of the trigger words and they missed it

We could rewrite this headline as:

Advanced identification techniques let doctors diagnose cancer earlier saving lives!
