Explaining a strange idea: The Oreo Cookies Diet

The key to explaining a strange idea, someone somewhere may once have said, is to talk really, really fast. Here is a new example. An explanation is given, in video form, at two speeds.

A lengthy text explanation is published in the medical study “Oreo Cookie Treatment Lowers LDL Cholesterol More Than High-Intensity Statin therapy in a Lean Mass Hyper-Responder on a Ketogenic Diet: A Curious Crossover Experiment,” Nicholas G. Norwitz, and William C. Cromwell, Metabolites, vol. 14, no. 1, 2024, article  73. (Thanks to Sarah Smith for bringing this to our attention.)

Lead author Nicholas G. Norwitz appears in this accompanying video:

The study itself is accompanied by a speeded up version of that video.

Compare the two versions, if you like, and try to decide which is more informative, and in what ways.
