m.dalgaard, post #1: Posting this under the heading it deserves: Taste changes and food aversion, reported and discussed Everything below is what sits behind that. The question about taste changes and food aversion that I actually want answered is the second one below. The first is context and I have kept it short. Both are stated with units, and I have… Go to post

The published rates come from populations that were titrated on a defined schedule with clinical supervision. Rates from a forum are not comparable and are biased by who chooses to post.

I have no interest in any supplier named above.

VPoulsen, post #6: Filing a mild objection to the consensus on taste changes and food aversion. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit. Go to post

Post #4 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

I would be cautious about generalising from the taste changes and food aversion example above. It is a good example. It is one example.

I read post #6 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

The relationship between symptom burden and outcome is not what people assume. Feeling worse is not evidence of a larger effect and feeling nothing is not evidence of an inactive preparation.

What I can speak to on taste changes and food aversion is narrow, so I will keep it narrow rather than generalising from it. Beyond that boundary I do not know.

n.haddad, post #34: Taking post #31 at face value and following it one step further. Reported effects on taste and on food preference are common and interesting and unstudied in any detail. They are also the ones people find most disconcerting. I would call that likely rather than established. Go to post

Fatigue: commonly reported, frequently multifactorial. It is worth asking whether other factors have changed (sleep, training volume, diet adequacy, hydration) before attributing all of it to the compound. Some fatigue resolves with time; some persists.
