I never read Hinduism, but just watched this video. Hinduism is the oldest religion, no one knows who founded it, interplanetary space travel is mentioned in its teachings so possibly it was developed and given to humans by aliens.

what holistic dr bloke? ekberg? he's interesting because he does before and after blood work after eating large amounts of a specific food for a month and showing how it affects his blood work. he charges a small fortune for detailed blood work analysis in his private practice.

Russians are not European.

Gluten is unhealthy for everyone. If someone is celiac, they will feel it right away. If someone is not celiac, the cumulative effect of all that gluten over many years will cause other health issues.

any idea which european country? if you can be more precise, we can perhaps provide some insights into what caused the erratic behavior.

White bread contains gluten, one of the absolute worst things to put in the body. This seems to be Nutrition 101. Most people who continue to eat white bread are people who dont care about their health and never bothered to look anything up. You should know better by now that white bread is not healthy. And I don't have the energy to keep debating these issues.

white bread is supposed to be one of the foods that clogs arteries? at least from the research i've seen. if you're eating a lot of white bread and don't have issues, i'm baffled.

LOL. This debate might go on forever maybe? To be continued in 2024 ...

Good Carbs Bad Carbs Good Fats Bad Fats Good Cop Bad Cop

a lot of them have medical degrees. nobody knows. seems like the human body is too complex for science to fully grasp. we need to learn by trial and error.

Some carbs are very high in electrolytes. Like bananas .. potassium. Coconut water . Low carb people need to supplement with electrolyte powders to compensate for low levels of electrolytes. Also, very low carb leads to constipation issues. At least it did for me. Many people gain weight because they are inactive. You can cheat more with no carbs and not gain weight even if you're not active. But a 0 carb diet does not appear to be optimal just based on electrolyte deficiencies and constipation issues alone. There are probably other reasons why consistently 0 or near zero carb may not be optimal. But I'm not convinced what the optimal diet is yet. But I don't think eating only meat is optimal. But some people seem to do it for long periods of time and maybe it does work for them. I got sick of the constipation. Although it is more challenging to keep slim when you add some carbs. You really do need to be very active. And speaking of carbs, I just watched one of Sten Ekberg's videos on honey. And of course, being a low carb scientific type, he was warning against excess honey. But one guy in the comments section was from Greece and claims to eat a boatload of honey and have good numbers. I don't think scientists have a complete grasp on what some of these carbs are doing in the body. Honey, for instance, appears to mystify scientists.

Your assertions about fat are over-simplified. Too much fat CAN make you gain weight, but that doesn't mean you need to eat no fat. I won't bother linking the video, but just watched a guy who is super lean and fit. He explains how he has gained weight by eating too much butter, so he cut down on butter. But he is still eating around 175grams of fat (30g from butter) every day.

Is there a specific test to check how insulin resistant you are? Is that OGTT?

Ok thanks for suggestion

thanks.

ok thanks for the tip, scuba.

I don't trust most doctors to help me deal with those blood test results in the best way. The topic is statins. They are probably being way over-prescribed. I need to educate myself more about blood tests. I haven't gotten around to it.

there was supposed to be a POTY awards around this time? but one of the most prolific posters has mysteriously vanished just before the end of the year. not to be negative, but I think Nostradamus predicts doom and gloom for 2024.

Just watched this Buddhist talk. Interesting. True self, false self. Cool stuff.

I have no idea. I don't get blood work done. And I don't fully trust the medical establishment. If I get on their radar, they'll probably start pushing statins on me.

agreed. when you go into an Ivy league school, you have a Pretty Small D*ck. And when you graduate, you have a Pretty Huge D*ck (PHD)

what about humans barking on the internet? how do we fix that problem? oh sorry. wrong thread?

I am constantly making tweaks, but I'm not sure if I know what I'm doing. All nutritionists are giving conflicting advice. Used to think butter was ok. Now thinking to get rid of butter and use coconut oil (high in MCTs). And avoiding dairy, except goat cheese. The goats cheese uses a different protein than cow cheese.
