As many of you know, a study was recently published in JISSN claiming that BCAA use enhanced lean mass retention and body fat loss during a combined caloric deficit with resistance training. However, the study appears to have a number of issues and inconsistencies that call into question the veracity of findings. After a lengthy discussion a couple of weeks back on ********, I along with my colleagues Brad Dieter and Alan Aragon decided to write a letter to the editor at JISSN detailing the issues with the paper. Happy to report that the letter has been accepted and will be published shortly in the journal. We look forward to hopefully hearing the response from the authors to gain clarity on the topic. The beauty of science is that it is self-correcting

Noticed this yesterday.

I know Aragon was on the boards discussing the issues with the study right after it came out.

Haven't looked over it yet, but I'd assume this is the study Mike has been boasting about for months? *place holder post*

OP this looks slightly familiar

I am hoping to see some feed back on this from all parties, I know Alan recently also linked this to his own within the last day or so.

Would love to get Alan's thoughts on the letters sent and how they are processing their concerns.

Listening to a podcast the other day, Lobliner was talking about the study and results.

and what did he have to say?

[kbayne]

and what did he have to say?

Sounded like he was the one who had the study funded but it was a while ago. Just never was published.

He was simply saying exactly what the study found regarding BCAA.

Check out: Mark Bells Podcast with Marc if you want to hear what he has to say about it.

Peer review be damned.

[powercage]

What kind of peer review does the jissn have?

Was hoping Alan could/would add to that discussion as to their process

[powercage]

Ive never been overly impressed with the discussions involving the ISSN guys, so I was curious

[eatyourspinach]

What kind of peer review does the jissn have?

Looks like I need to clear out my inbox.

Yup, letter just got accepted, we're awaiting the final proof, then we'll give it a final look and okay it for publication. Should be a fairly quick process from this point.

Hi Alan, how does this effect the current publication in question?
