Hello,
I would like to share this short video.
It reminded me of the complexity of nutrition and health in general.
I think, that it is a nice metaphor what it going on inside us. Thinking in analogies are a way, how the mind works. So it helps us to understand topics by understanding another analog topic.
Health/hormonal/digestion system is such a complex system with feedback loops, homeostasis, buffers, short term vs. long term, 1./2./3..../n. consequences... and self delusion, cognitive biases makes it even more difficult to grasp it.
We often just think of A -> B logic.
The other thing, that I liked, is the metaphor of a balanced ecosystem.
Are deer good or bad? Are wolves good or bad?
Is this food bad or good? Is this bacteria good or bad?
This simplistic dualistic thinking does not work. It is always a question of context and your point of view to that subject (how does that topic effect you).
Anyways, I liked these parallels.... makes it easier to understand myself.
