Today, we're zooming in on a study that comes from Stanford University and was recently published in JAMA Network Open. 

The researchers put a vegan diet headtohead with an omnivorous diet in twentytwo pairs of identical twins. The buzz around this study has been immense, sparking conversations everywhere—from social media to professional circles. Adding to the excitement, this research forms the basis of a new Netflix documentary called "You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment." 

In this episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, I discuss the many conflicts of interest, funding sources, and hidden agendas that were not fully disclosed but could have had a major hand in clouding the study's conclusions and realworld applications.
