Jahangir Mohammed sold his IoT startup for US$1.4B. Now he wants us all to have a digital twin

Vandana, The story seems one-sided to you because I did not quote a bunch of startups trying to do diet-related diabetes reversal. There's a reason for that. I've followed most such startups' work for many years and I did not feel the need to bring those examples in. This is a different technology. None of those startups have the creds of publishing in peer-reviewed journals. And this is NOT a Keto programme, whereas Virta is a Keto diet programme. On its website, Virta lists 3-4 publications. (Please check them out). They are ALL non-RCT studies, which do not count in the scientific world. I'm afraid I don't understand what depth you were looking for in a story that is about a very different technology which has no real peers in its approach. That said, I take your feedback and will do better next time in such stories.
