What is the controversy with Dr Huberman?
He extrapolates [animal research] to things that we can do as humans, but those things aren’t really strongly supported for humans,” Joseph Zundell, a cancer biologist, told Time last year. He has also been criticized for promoting and running ads for dietary supplements that may do more harm than good.
