dehydrating seafood
Has anyone dehydrated * shrimp/prawns? or * squid (cleaned, scored and cut into squares, as one might prepared it for blanching in cooked recipes)? Chicken and beef are wonderful dehydrated; they seem fresh and unspoiled, just slightly dried; but when I have seen people eat dried cuttlefish, undoubt...

strict diet; health
I like to read these exchanges so much (still enjoying the one on longevity and other organisms that are 'negligibly senescent', too). Sometimes, Oscar, I think you are more hardcore than RRM! :) One imagines you are always extremely healthy, and that the diet really works for you absolutely well. I...

statistic
Ah; well, it is something I heard about 15 years ago, before fertility treatments seemed to become the norm.... At the time I had noted that many women in my family had conceived and given birth naturally age 40-45-- it was at a time when there was near-hysteria about "biological clocks ticking" as ...

aging
I have read somewhere (I cannot find it) that the top variable correlated to female lifespan is the act of conceiving and giving birth naturally at age 45 or later. No other variable is correlated with reaching age 90, for women, like this one is. Of course it is a causality riddle: does the birth i...

great topic
I wonder about these related topics all the time.... What an excellent conversation. (What double luck to have both of you weigh in)! I myself have nothing to add; I'll just listen. I wondered too about the lifespan figures... of course their lives aren't infinite. It is rather like the scientists c...

Protein and size; protein and longevity
I was recently reading another post on here by RRM about size (body morphology/height of hominids and other organisms) and protein. I am wondering what the studies overall show about protein and longevity. Some animals are now the focus of "negligible senescence" studies. They live to 200 years or m...

protein and fat
I was looking at: http://www.13.waisays.com/protein.htm and simultaneously trying to find the postings on here about eating fat and protein in concert. (Isn't there discussion about how this is either a) optimal; or b) necessary for protein metabolism?) I can't remember... Some of the more casual po...

energy needs
Whatever they do is quite amazing, as they do not have gills: They are diving anaerobically (in apnea)-- that is, breathing at surface between immersions. This takes tremendous energy; one's energy needs are relatively larger in this state. This is why, too, they remain "halfway" resting (1/2 of the...

yes
Read Rene Guenon on that (French intellectual who became a Sufi...)--
An excellent critique of Western culture.

diabetes
And I'm skeptical that it can really shed that much light on diabetes in humans.... They seem similar in some ways (the striking resemblance to being large-brained mammals with a glucose-based brain) but I am not sure, reading this research, how their adaptations could help human diabetics. Again-- ...

dolphin rest
They are always in motion, but the hemispheres of their brain are radically different from ours: One half can sleep while the other is awake. It still seems impossible to support an enormous brain on only protein and fat while in constant motion. They must eat a very lot indeed, and be constantly at...

erratum
I should say "Muslim" with regard to the Taliban-- that is pure error.
The polygamy argument he advances holds true in Arab nations, as well-- he talks about both in terms of their similarity with regard to polygamy.

male and female
Surely you could find a lot to like in his theories about the Taliban.. (that polygamy disenfranchises the poorest//least powerful men in a culture, denying them the chance to marry/have children without forcibly subjugating and terrorizing women). He says to defeat Arab terrorism, the West should w...
