Bloodwork question about taurine. Baseline, a fortnight in, and the numbers moved in a direction I did not expect.
What surprised me is how much of the perceived benefit was routine and attention rather than pharmacology.
Mechanism is not outcome, and a plausible pathway is the most expensive kind of evidence there is.
I would rather have a narrow conclusion and be right than a broad one and be interesting.
Two weeks is not enough time to attribute anything to a compound unless the effect is dramatic.
How do you separate the compound effect from the routine around it?
Baseline first. Without a baseline the after picture is decoration. How long have you been on taurine?
Sterility is the part people wave through and it is the part that actually bites.
Narrow conclusion, briefly right. Broad conclusion, interestingly wrong. I know which I keep choosing.
Same here.
