Only people with compromised circulation? Last I checked only 96% of westerners have compromised metabolic health.

So this article is saying for 4% of the population aphrodisiacs are ineffective. Ha

I used to love city painting games, then I discovered Factorio and have no desire for city painting games anymore

Don’t review the game until after people buy it!

The term of art is “price discovery”

The fact a religious organization owns the trade mark on Blue Zone and uses it to push a religious agenda is very telling.

good plan! Ideally we should be able to find balance without supplements!

Borrowing from management theory:

A rule without enforcement is just wishful thinking.

Doing some other reading I do see the anti-parasitics having a beneficial impact on fighting cancer. It appears the mechanism of action is interference with cellular pyruvate function, which reduces the cells ability to metabolize glucose, slowing down the rate of growth. This doesn’t mean that cancer is a parasite, just that the drugs impact cellular metabolism in a way that demonstrates the warburg hypothesis (i.e. how pet scans work).

Sure, but keto says it totally fine to eat a steak and a stick of butter and nothing else. That doesn’t seem sustainable.

Yet it is, we only need to look at the documented human populations that only had access to animal food before westernization. They sustained, even thrived.

Also I’ve never met anyone that does keto that allows any carbs.

Keto is just metabolic ketosis, any biological state while the body is producing detectable levels of blood ketones. Anyone can achieve it <20g carbs per day, and many people have higher tolerances (age, muscle mass, resting metabolic rate etc).

Just trying to offer insight into the down votes. I don’t think it’s the IF crew doing it. It’s probably people who are anti-keto.

Which includes you… https://lemvotes.org/comment/sh.itjust.works/comment/23819049

Keto (the actual dietary principle) is just based on a different distribution of macronutrients when achieving your caloric deficit.

Keto is any diet that maintains the metabolic state of ketosis. This can be done with overfeeding, underfeeding, fasting… and doesn’t even require complete nutrition (though that is always a good idea).

You need fiber, friend. You. Need. Fiber.

Citation please. As far as I’ve read fibre does two things:

1. Anti-nutrient, when people eat terrible food fibre blunts it so it isn’t as terrible by preventing some of the bad food absorption

2. Fibre is digested by the gut into short-chain fatty acids (SCA / BHB) which get absorbed through the gut, and has a boost to health in the area of absorption. However, in a ketogenic context the liver is making Ketones (BHB) all the time which gets deposited into the blood stream being available to the entire body including the gut… so this benefit is only seen in a carbohydrate metabolism, and not in keto.

Since your waiting on the follow-up it might still be helpful to learn about the mitochondrial model of cancer.

It doesn’t hurt to go zero/very low carb while waiting for your results, then there isn’t extra glucose to feed any stray cancer cells floating around.

I hope they got it all!

My car doesn’t have a internet connection, so any threat they make from the internet doesn’t seem credible to me.

Mr Sausage is that you?

It might be worth your time to look at the mitochondrial theory of cancer: https://hackertalks.com/post/23421392

Happy to supply books, papers, and talk in depth with you on the details.

Tldr: cancer cells only burn glucose, using a very low carb diet as a adjunct to standard of care is a strict positive in treatment.

Genuinely I’m hoping you recover fully!

Yes, the oncogenic paradox… We don’t know what causes cancer… But ever source of inflammation seems to increase risk… The mitochondrial theory of cancer (Seyfried, Warburg) would say the high glucose environment people create in their blood is the core reason for the surge of modern cancers.

New Red dwarf content with the original cast makes me feel human, happy, and very, very old.

Adults are better at delayed gratification, children aren’t. As we get older we’re able to make our expenses less and less expensive, because we can wait for the optimal moment.
