Weekly newsletter "Obesity and Energetics Offerings" from David Allison

#1

Dr. Allison was this week’s guest on the Attia podcast.

From Wikipedia:
David Bradley Allison (born 1963) is an American obesity researcher, biostatistician, and psychologist. He is the dean of the Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington and, in 2007, was one of the top 10 scientists in the world awarded the most NIH grants. Allison was previously Distinguished Professor, Quetelet Endowed Professor, and Director of the NIH-funded Nutrition Obesity Research Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB)

Attia leads off with:
David Allison, a leading expert in obesity and nutrition, quantitative genetics, clinical trials, and research methodology, returns to The Drive to explore the evolving landscape of nutrition science and obesity treatment.

Allison publishes a weekly newsletter “Obesity and Energetics Offerings”. It usually contains about 100 or more links to mostly scientific papers, sometimes popular media articles commenting on things in virtually every category related to obesity, energy, metabolism, nutrition. An interesting section is “Headline vs Study”.

Thanks for the info. Looks like an interesting newsletter. I found the Attia interview remarkably frustrating. A lot of talk about nutrition without ever really discussing the obvious causes of rampant obesity in the US.
