In a world where scientific studies often go unnoticed by the general public, a recent research project has captured the attention of, doctors, coaches, and researchers alike.
Nicholas Norwitz, a Harvard medical student with a doctorate in metabolism and nutrition from the University of Oxford, conducted an experiment exploring uncharted territory.
His groundbreaking experiment aimed to test the Lipid Energy Model, a potentially revolutionary theory that could reshape our understanding of human metabolism.
The model posits that in the setting of low carbohydrate intake and low body fat, the body increases fat particle (LDL) production for energy, which can be moderated by reintroducing carbohydrates.
He clarified that the experiment wasn’t endorsing Oreos as healthy. Instead, it aimed to test a specific scientific prediction based on the Lipid Energy Model (LEM).
While Oreos aren’t the new cholesterol-lowering miracle, the research behind this finding opens the door to exciting possibilities in understanding human lipid metabolism.
Meanwhile, Dr Sudhir Kumar, renowned neurologist says, “This was an experimental study done only on one person. The findings cannot be applied to the general population.”
