The post from Instagram: savage_ginger_beard_Ugh, things are going from bad to worse for @reaalmuscle .

Via a confidential source, I came to possess a marketing pitch that Wolfe and Ferrando were making for an EAA supplement called “Kroton.” That document, produced seven years ago in 2011, references “23 clinical studies.” (Meaning only one additional study has been produced in seven/eight years.)
•
I previously thought that the “24 clinical studies” that TwinLab refers to are unpublished. Well, turns out some of them are published - and the results are terrible for @reaalmuscle. This screenshot is from a study that Wolfe and Ferrando conducted on elderly, pre-diabetic patients taking 22g of EAA + arginine for 16 weeks. Like his 2017 article, Wolfe interprets the data in an “interesting” way, here.
•
At 12 weeks, the total LBM gain was measured at 1.14kg +/- .36kg. This was sufficient for a statistically significant result, at p=0.038. But here’s the issue: that’s ONLY statistically significant at 12 weeks. At 16 weeks, the LBM gain is .6kg +/- .38kg. The error is half the mean effect. The researchers then apply the statistically significant result to the entire paper, despite receiving a result that was NOT significant.
•
In layman’s terms, Wolfe found a result at 16 weeks (within study parameters) that was not statistically significant, and therefore ought to have been discarded, and published it anyway with the p value for the 12 week result applied to the entire study. The study above is an egregious misrepresentation of the data to suit the researchers’ preferred conclusion. Worst of all, it fits an alarming pattern of a researcher willfully and explicitly misrepresenting research into a product he owns the patent for. With this study, we now see a clear and demonstrable pattern of Wolfe either deliberately ignoring counter factual information or alternative explanations for the data. All this combined in a ten year campaign to both monetize his product and conduct research on isimultaneously •
I’ll be sharing more from the PowerPoint soon. #staytuned

savage_ginger_beard_And just to be clear, @reaalmuscle would’ve been presented a variant on the presentation I’ve seen. Which means they know how inapplicable the data is to healthy, exercising populations, yet they continue to present the “24 clinical studies” as applying to that population in their marketing.
