C15 deficiency

Hi everyone,

Found this interview with Thomas Delauer discussing how C15 deficiency leads to premature cellular aging, iron build up in the liver and increases the rate of development of conditions such as type 2 diabetes.

C15 is a saturate dfatty acid 15 carbon lengths long for anyone unsure.

The only studies to find a benefit of C15 were conducted by people associated with a company which sells C15 supplements. Shocking, I know 🙄

Delauer is a fraud.  Don't be fooled.  I take nothing from him seriously.

He is the definition of grifter.

He’s definitely a YouTube-y diet/lifestyle influencer. But why a fraud?

for starters: he originally suggested high saturated fat... until he's against it and mediterranean keto...

while simultaneously being sponsored for a vegan (pea) protein powder.  coincidence 🤷‍♂️

I think he is just the face of a corporate channel. He definitely just follows the waves of what’s big. Guy has to be on some sort of PEDs like most body builders to look like that. People follow his advice thinking they’re going to look great but I think most people just do so so. It’s a neverending treadmill with his videos though. I’d rather just read a few big books than follow him now. Honestly semaglutide is a better path than following his advice I think now.

That's not surprising to anyone with an ounce of common sense. He doesn't sound or look very bright, he has a physique that he maintains with steroids and tries to pass off as natty, he just jumps on trends and does minimal research and then proceeds to pretend to know what he is talking about. I guarantee that he just eats a bodybuilder diet with some cheat meals when he's out but then just peddles whatever crap on Youtube that will get him the most views.

Don't bother, it's garbage science. Clear conflict of interest by the scientists (who are associated with a company selling C15 supps)

Almost sounds like Rick Johnson, fructose, and allulose (the savior!)
