Great article basically fact checking a poorly evidenced/balanced statement from RFK. Ketogenic therapies have their benefits and have shown promise as therapeutic for people with drug-resistant epilepsy. But as the author of the article correctly points out there is little to no meaningful evidence that keto could CURE schizophrenia. Therefore, the author's article is very sensible.

The author did a good job of including what the scientific authors of the research "stressed" as important information. Clearly a complex situation regarding the use of screen time in adolescents. The author also clearly articulated the multi-faceted nature of the situation. As with many tech, it has benefits and burdens. But simply spending more time on social media by itself is not a clear cut link to disrupted emotional state. There's more to it.

The author cites a meta analysis which is one of the strongest forms of evidence for a claim. They presented the information with balance and clarity. Clearly stating that exercise shouldn't suddenly replace all medication.

A study citing a sample size of two highly managed patients showed a great deal of improvement. However, this is extremely limited evidence. The title is misleading. Parents with autistic children may read this and try to implement a fools errand. The article did not provide much in the way of balance. It was clearly written and did articulate what the study showed.

There is growing correlation data that caffeine intake reduces dementia risk but to say it is preventative is a big misleading point. Otherwise well-written an definitely an interesting topic. Very clear. Could have done a better job of outlining the possible negatives better including sleep disruption, discussing some of the other things present in someone's life who consumes a lot of coffee that may improve dementia risk.

There are approximately 14 modifiable risk factors for dementia risk of which several are mentioned in the article. including socialisation, eating "healthy" etc. These are well-backed by research. However, little evidence was presented to support those facts .

A well presented short article highlighting the complexity of the situation and the requirement for further studies.

The evidence they present is shaky at best. Clear use of logical fallacies and personal attacks in their writing creates a very unbalance article. While the writing itself is clear, it is extremely misleading. Vaccines are one of the most effective public health interventions ever.

Overall actually a sensible article. There is a lot of evidence that diabetes (both type 1 and type 2) increase risk of dementias. There is lots of crossover between some of the mechanisms that cause damage in both diseases.

While cacao may contain polyphenols that are protective it would be very difficult to get these in sufficient quantity directly from chocolate. There is a small correlation detected in their study with dark chocolate consumption which is not found with milk chocolate. However correlation is not the same as causation. To be fair, the article points out that further randomised controlled trials are needed, which is true. This is exciting research but as always needs to be taken with a pinch of salt and validated in direct mechanistic trials. Please do not start eating 5 bars of dark chocolate a week and think it will decrease your risk of type 2 diabetes. Still the largest modifiable risk factor for diabetes is body fat. Eating multiple bars of chocolate per week makes reducing body fat a bit trickier, although technically still possible if other calorie intake is adjusted accordingly.
