I remember way back when I had a girlfriend (13F). I was 14. She didn’t snore that loud when I slept over, but she would definitely snore. It just came to mind and made me wonder if it’s normal to do so at 13.

    No such resource exists just on snoring. It’s not a major health concern (sleep apnea is) so not much gets published specifically on subclinical snoring. I’m synthesizing from my collected knowledge and commenting casually here.

    • Ectopic Fat is fat someplace it shouldn’t be
    • The human body does not want fat in places it shouldn’t be (intermuscular, interorgan, visceral, airway)
    • visceral fat is quicky resolved on a ketogenic intervention (not the only way to resolve, but it is demonstrated in all the literature on NAFLD)
    • Anecdotal repots of snoring and sleep apnea resolving on keto

    Ketogenic -1.3.9.1.4 How hyperinsulinaemia produces the visceral obesity that is the key to the pathology of the insulin resistance syndrome - This is probably the most relevant thing to read with respect to ectopic fat

    As far as the mechanism of action of why carbohydrates are driving ectopic fat please read - The Carbohydrate-Insulin Model of Obesity - Beyond “Calories In, Calories Out” - 2018

    Your not asking people to justify with references the “snoring is normal and healthy” vibe that is upvoted here. I think that speaks to the poor metabolic health we have come to accept in society

    It’s not really reasonable to expect someone to dig through all of that.

    This is the third time now. I keep seeing you blame carbs as the main culprit for various health issues people have. It would be nice to see some primary sources to back it up.

    To be fair, your statement was very general “various health issues” and “primary sources”. The only possible response to satisfy that would be all the primary sources on all issues.
