normal human things like consuming things in excess. Excess and normal are contradicting each other in this sentence. Yes cellular metabolism can use glucose, but that glucose in humans does not need to be eaten in the form of carbohydrates, the body is perfectly able to make its own glucose via gluconeogenesis Fats need to be balanced. What does this mean? Vitamin C is also lacking in an all meat diet devoid of organ meats. Vitamin C is in meat in small amounts, but if one is eating only meat then there is not glut4 competition and that vitamin c is very effective.

Oreo cookies are delicious vegan and "taste good" - but they are not healthy at all. Taste isn't the major factor in determining health outcomes.

It would seem that the authors of the study you, yourself linked. Have. Perhaps it is my illiterate nature, but I would say they made the more nuanced and validated statement "the current literature we cannot map a direct MPS benefit for greater consumption in 20 something men doing body building." MPS is the goal here. That’s mainly what you want Protein for. That is a very limited context, which the authors are very careful about speaking to its limited implications in overall health and health goals. I just find it hard to believe you would read a study that disproves your claim, It doesn't, the paper has depth and nuance and a careful review of it makes it clear the simplistic sound bite take away is too simplistic, which was my entire point, and still is my entire point. And I don’t know what else to say about the guy who doesn’t think human beings can survive and thrive on a non meat diet. I didn't say this. We’re talking elementary school level of education that is desperately lacking. Yet another insult.

When you consume high cholesterol foods, you’re likely going to have high blood LDL. It's not a dose independent response, if you eat only cholesterol (like only egg yolks for a month), you will find adding even more egg yolks does not increase the LDL, the excess gets processed into other nutrients or excreted. The feedback mechanisms in regulating LDL are very good, its just a optimization that food cholesterol can be used for circulating LDL, if you didn't eat any cholesterol at all your body would still make LDL. More generally Cholesterol, and specifically LDL, is not a disease. artificially lowering LDL is not actually good for your health. Its far more impactful to measure atherosclerotic risk directly with plaque imaging (CAC for example).

Gold is a common food decoration and considered edible, but of no nutritional value. Most plants are slow acting poisons, they don't want to be eaten. Humans have a tolerance for some level of some poisons... Many nuts have trace levels of cyanide, but people eat them anyway.... Beans if not soaked can make people very sick, etc ... The core problem is lots of people eat things that aren't ideal - especially when starving. Lots of people have gluten sensitivity, they get a inflamed gut when they eat it, but they eat it anyway.. so it's a poison, but it doesn't kill them quickly, and they will argue gluten is a food... There are very few perfect foods with no downsides: eggs get pretty close, but even then some people have allergies

One wants to think that in a study like this, researchers kept that in mind and ensures that those variables were accounted for. that is such a “step one” that it’d be really stupid if they hadn’t The neat part about epidemiology is they can't really control for healthy user bias - they can acknowledge it, then model a offset adjustment (assuming some uniform random variable with linear effect usually - so a regression to remove factors requires knowledge of their causal contribution which is "estimated" in the model....)... but yeah, the neat part is they don't - which is why epidemiology can never prove causation. :::spoiler neat [image: 2d8443ec6b68719e22edd3c05259d7f2.jpg] :::

That is a very well written article, I just wish they'd provided a source for the hypomania. The sources they provided showed only benefits.

Also I'm not aware of anyone who says you should eat no UPF whatsoever. It just shouldn't be a huge part of your diet. Hello. Look at where we are now with saturated fats: Every major health organisation in the world says they're linked to cardiovascular disease and should be limited in diets, and meanwhile hordes of people who've read a pop science book or watched a YouTube video think they know better and can eat all the fat they want. This is actually incorrect, and I'm happy to make a new post about it if you want to have a discussion. Saturated fat, or animal fats, are very healthy and not causal with cardiovascular risk. What fats exist that aren't saturated? Industrial oils! The highly processed foods we have been discussing are exactly what's being pushed by the crusade against saturated fat

evidence children are allowed to use crypto? They can use phones and tablets, the UI on crypto is just an app. Therefore they can use crypto. Even seen a kid with a few coins buy candy? Ever see a kid use a tap to pay? I'm not sure where your ideas of "allowed" are coming from, but in reality everybody participates in the economy however its transacted.

If Williams really took a step forward as a whole that would be quite something It would, but its unlikely. Even Sainz in the post-race interview did not seem hopeful about a repeat performance with the races remaining. (especially as no one is bringing upgrades for this year anymore at this stage). And we know with Williams they never really did upgrades for FW47 (as its essentially their 2024 car) deciding instead to save their development budget for the post-rule-change 2026 Williams car.

Maier's letter to the editor is not peer reviewed; it counts as opinion, the original authors have not retracted their paper - so the matter is at best "divided"

That's a good point. Lots of people think that seed oils fit into a whole food eating pattern. How it's actually made would surprise them. As you said earlier the LDL is likely pattern A based on the tg/HDL ratio. It's amazing how much of a impact oil can have on LDL. I think Nick norawitz did a stunt case study where he drank a bunch of seed oil for a month to lower his LDL, bur I can't find it now. For any one reading this thread later: LDL is not a problem, cholesterol is not a disease. When LDL is damaged is when it becomes concerning but pattern A, undamaged, LDL isn't a health risk and this cam be confirmed with athloscrotic imaging like CAC over time.

Most laws define their words, and they're going to define them however they want, and they will include forums as social media. Laws are written to have an effect, usually to regulate communication between people. That's what social media facilitates

I see what your doing, but your asking for too much formalism in a casual context. To satisfy the entire vocabulary from first principles would be a non-trivial task - its so daunting I don't even want to attempt it here.

Like different playlists for spotify kinda. That is a really great idea! Multiple feeds depending on your mood Let me sub, but also, let me as a user, sub to it, and put it in my minifeed that i name… politics, or news, or tech stuff, or, happy animal pictures, or whatever. piefed kinda has that with topics You can do what I just described with NewPipe, for youtube viewing without ads. And freetube! Having that paradigm on its own may significantly alter the perspective of the average user toward ‘i am responsible for the kind of stuff i see’ and thus take a more active role in curating their own content, as opposed to just expecting someone else to do that for me, and complaining/lashing out when i see things that i dont like. Or have clients suggest an auto-block for communities the user persistently finds disagreeable.

wow, this is such a excellent comment! Very informative.

What about any of this has to do with your original thesis that nobody cares about the environment and can eat beef?

fact that astronauts would eat high protein foods to minimize their bowel movements because the human body will efficiently absorb highly bioavailable proteins and fat (e.g. from animal sources) it consumes. To minimize their bowel movements, astronauts had a high-protein, low-residue diet — think steak and eggs and other foods that are don't make a lot of waste after they are absorbed by the body. Wow, that is a fun fact! I had no idea. That is going into trivia night
