Sugar

Too bad not alot of people tolerate huge amounts of sugar very well. But you can work up to that slowly and pay very close attention to what your limits are. I now can eat huge amounts of sugar without having alot of trouble with it (up to a total of 400-500g of sugar + sugar from fruits :o).

Re: High- vs Low-intensity exercise

Sadly, no. There is just too little research done at this terrain. There is however enough research that clearly indicates this is a no brainer. I will try to make a very broad summary of CO2 and its effects in the human body very soon, first I've still got examanations. There are, however, alot of ...

Arachidonic acid

Dietary LCPUFAs highly inhibit delta 6 desaturase (in mice) and therefore inhibit AA generation Raz M, et al.
Pro inflammatory reduction might be important, as the body is attacking itself when AA eicosanoids are too high.

Calorie restriction

A decrease in oxidative damage has been proposed as a mechanism; however, a lack of correlation between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and life span was recently reported in Drosophila Furthermore, increasing evidence suggests that SIRT1, the mammalian ortholog of the SIR2 gene that mediat...

They all say little to nothing if there is no difference made between nosebreathing or mouthbreathing.

Re: Exercise improves health by evoking 'recycling'

Can't it be that insulin has a protein sparing effect and therefore inhibits autophagy?

Re: High fat diet and hyperinsulinemia

I read some old reports of diabetics that have been treated with sugar and fructose and abstinence from fluids that were quite succesful. If you're interested I will try to find them again.

Re: Lipids and thyroid activity

Okay, let me rephrase that: Omega 6 fatty acids, opposed to saturated fatty acids, inhibit thyroid functioning. This can't be said about omega 3s, but it needs to be researched if this is due to the modulating and competitive effects they have on omega 6 metabolism. Therefore it seems to me that it ...

Re: Exercise improves health by evoking 'recycling'

That totally depends on the fats you use. For example, lauric acid has a slight insulin raising effect and will therefore inhibit autophagy to a certain extent.

Re: Lipids and thyroid activity

No, you conclude something AFTER you have proven it first. The thyroid and PUFA connection is clear cut and to me is a proof that you want to avoid eating too much PUFAs, and that the amounts of the SAD are way to high and off limits. What is too much to me is, when I compare it with other traditio...

Re: Can we eat raw liver ?

How large is the threat for bacterial and parasite contamination in organic raw beef liver? I really enjoy eating this and can't understand why there are so much gross reports available. It tastes absolutely delicious and haven't given me any troubles. If you make sure it comes from a very good orga...

Re: Exercise improves health by evoking 'recycling'

Fred, why do you think we are nocturnal eaters? This is not what I've seen in traditional hunter gatherers. During the hunt they always have honey, fruits, coconuts with them. If they don't have acces to fruits they will choose roots and tubers (One of the reasons I eat this in moderation too). If t...
