    PUFA Is Vital For Cancer Progression; Restricting PUFA Can Be Therapeutic

    Supplementary Choline Raises Risk Of Blood Clots; Aspirin To The Rescue

    Ray has written about the dangers of choline and its close relationship with estrogen.

As such, antihistamine and antocholinergic drugs can...

    Ketogenesis On A High Carbohydrate Diet

    I don't start threads very often (I think this is my second one) but I thought this video was interesting and worth posting. He mentions that a pasta meal with MCT oil is more ketogenic than restricting carbohydrates to 10% of calories. Since strict ketogenic diets are so low in protein and...

    Stroke Rates Have Almost Doubled In Young Adults

    I posted recently about two studies showing rapidly increasing incidence of colon cancer, and diabetes in young adults. At least for the colon cancer cases, the respective study itself stated that neither genes, nor obesity can explain the increase. Breaking News: Colorectal Cancer Rates In...

    Protein Quality, Not Genes, Determine Male Height

    I posted a study on the height of Dutch men - a well studied phenomenon officially explained by genes, but recently recast as one possibly due to diet. Dutch People Gained 20cm Of Height In Just 150 Years Now this new study adds more evidence to the diet hypothesis as it found a population in...

    If You're Looking For Coca Cola Made With Real Sugar

    .....Be on the lookout right now for bottles with the yellow caps. Coke makes a limited amount with real sugar this time of year, as it is kosher for Passover (I think cause HFCS is considered levened). Probably have a week or two to find and stock up.

    Intelligence Expected To Decline In Higher IQ And Rise In Lower IQ People

    While the study is observational, it is important because it shows that IQ score is very malleable and depends on the environment more than anything else. I think Ray said in one of his interviews that he thinks the population of Western countries is getting progressively dumber, and he...

    Breaking News: Colorectal Cancer Rates In Young People Have Doubled

    I don't know which is sadder - this front page news reported today on CNN, or the fact that the pharma/medical press continues to call colorectal cancer largely a "genetic" phenomenon. Surely, there must be an evil gene that swept through the population in just 2 decades and targeted the young...

    Our ability to digest starch well depends on the amount of the enzyme amylase in our saliva according to Chris Masterjohn. Salivary amylase begins converting starch into sugar within our mouths. Masterjohn believes that this converted sugar sends signals to the body that carbohydrate is coming...

    Low Fat Vs Saturated Fat To Reduce PUFA Stored In Tissue: What Is The Best Strategy?

    I am a bit confused by the constant back and forth regarding PUFA depletion techniques (no fat) versus adequate saturated fat in ones diet. I understand self experimentation is the best way but am eager to hear some feedback from those who feel one is superior.

    Peat-wise, Can Liverwurst Or Leberkase Be Substituted For Plain Liver?
