GLP-1 and uric acid reduction — what worked for you?

The useful move here is to separate what is established from what is widely repeated.

Coming at newstart_MO’s question from a different direction. It helps to say which part of this you are uncertain about. A precise question gets a precise answer; a general one gets everybody’s favourite anecdote.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. One habit that pays for itself: post the method alongside the number. A figure without its method cannot be checked, and an unchecked figure is how this community accumulates folklore.

Happy to go further on any of that.

Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful.

Filing a mild objection. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit. The objection nobody has made: this only works if the measurement is doing what we assume it is doing, and that assumption has not been tested here.

Right, and the exception is worth naming rather than left implied, because the exception is where people get into trouble.
