You have to stimulate M4 but you need a certain amount of lucine to do it, as well as a full compliment of amino acids. You also need to have enough calories, it doesn’t have to be too much, but […]
Longevity as it relates to meat is a non-issue. mTOR, yes it exists on the spectrum, and just like IGF 1 and all these other things, some expression of mTOR is phenomenal and necessary for growth, and some of it […]
Humans really need fats or carbohydrates as fuel, protein as kind of the building block and in order to create the ideal bio-chemistry, the ideal chemical engine in a human, you want to have fat or carbohydrate, I’d argue that […]
The healthy user bias is such an important point to note that, when we’re looking at epidemiology studies, in these observational studies we always need to consider the possibility that, whether we’re looking at increased consumption of fruits and vegetables […]
If you look at the nutrient bio-availability in plants, it’s very poor. People may say that spinach has folate, but generally if you look at the B vitamins in plants they’re only about 30% as bio-available as B vitamins in […]
70% of people’s calories in the USA come from grains, sugar and industrial seed oils. Note, that none of those three things contain any nutrition of any kind, other than calories. In the case of sugar it’s empty calories. In […]
It’s just dirty reporting and it’s dirty science with an agenda in mind and they’re trying to push an agenda with these studies and the public is really mislead because if you look at it, there are plenty of interventional […]
The Westernized world has really been lead astray by these nutritional ideas that were based on observational studies, that were poorly conducted and misinterpreted, and we have forgotten the things that have made us who we are as humans and […]
First if we take a look at human evolution, humans began eating animals 2.5 million years ago – and that was a key player in our evolution, in the size of our brains. The nutrients found in animals was so […]
Meat has been meat for two million years, so as far back as humans go, or even arguably longer. If we compare that to other foods that we eat right now, if we look at even some of the hybridized […]
Our brain size has shrunk by about 200 ccs. It peaked around 150,000 years ago at about 1500 ccs and now modern homo-sapiens are about 1300 ccs. That likely coincides with the fact that some of our food supply ran […]
Jared Diamond, a well-known scholar, historian and author, calls the advent of agriculture ‘The Worst Mistake in Human History’, he’s termed it ‘The Cult of the Seed’ If you look at the paleo-anthropology evidence from the Dickson Mounds and all […]
The agriculture revolution 10,000 years ago was the starting point of our going wrong, we were hunter gatherers up until that point, we lived in small tribes, and moved from place to place because there was no way to store […]
A study called ‘Stopping or Reducing Dietary Fiber Intake Reduces Constipation and it’s Associated Symptoms’ was done in 2012, with 16 male and 47 female patients. The 63 patients were split into 3 groups; there was a zero fiber group, […]
The fiber story began with a guy named Burkitt, he compared the pattern of diseases in African hospitals to western diseases in the 1950’s and 60’s. So the story of fiber begins with this guy named Denis Burkitt who was […]
Food contacts your body every day, it’s the thing that comes in the most, yes you breathe some air and this and that, but food is DIRECT CONTACT with your body, it’s the one thing we can affect the most […]
Kelly Hogan was unable to have children until she went on a zero carb diet, and so it gave her back her fertility. We can use fertility as a measure of health too, so the more fertile you are it […]
Protein can inhibit ketosis at a certain level, but I don’t think it’s because the protein itself is sending some kind of signal to say ‘let’s make more sugar.’ It’s not directly causing gluconeogenesis, I think what’s happening is that […]
