    Anti-Peat VIDEO: Resurrection Of The Carnivore Diet (Fat vs Sugar - Mini Documentary)

    This new mini-documentary agrees with the dangers of PUFA, however, what seems anti-peat is the complete demonization of ALL sugar. I'm curious of everyone's thoughts.

    Drinking Pepsi/Coke freely is androgenic for males, enlarges testicles, ups testosterone

    I think the sales of Coke/Pepsi are about to go through the roof. The study sounds like it was sponsored by one/both of the soda makers, but it was not, and in fact is corroborated by prior studies on (human) male fertility and sugar consumption that I posted about in the past. The study below...

    Ideal potassium/carb ratio?

    With a lack of quality fruit juice available, refined sugar makes up a good bulk of my diet. Since it doesn’t have any potassium, I eat some (well cooked) potatoes every day for potassium.

    Dietary sugar can treat chronic depression

    Not much to comment on here, except to point out that the sugar "addiction" in depressed people has been recognized by medicine for at least 50 years and has always been treated as a co-morbidity of the depressed state, also in need of treatment.

    Heavy phlegm when I drink milk or fruit juice.

    Every time I drink fruit juice (especially citrus fruits), eat these fruits or drink milk, I have to quickly go to the sink to spit up large phlegm. It happens a few sips after another. Why? Is it a gastric acid problem or something like that?
