Wow, that's an incredibly well written and researched ultra deep dive into the topic, Susan. Kudos! Thanks, Marc. My research helped me figure out the wide range of problems I've had in the past, and the wiki was a good place to store all that info. Lowering oxalates has been the game changer for me.

I had always thought base pairs had to be either G-C or A-T. From 23andme: Each chromosome consists of two strands of DNA that are complementary to each other. The DNA nucleotide base adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T) and the base guanine (G) always pairs with cytosine (C) across these two ...

In only 2 months on the carnivore diet, those severe health problems from 5 years on the keto diet, are now just gone. Glad to hear that carnivore has helped your health problems, by reducing oxalate content. It is such a blessing when that happens, especially for those of us who have had health pr...

Does everyone here never let a forbidden grain, a piece of sourdough or whole wheat bread, a nightshade vegetable cross their lips???? From my impression, they don't and I guess I'm just baffled. Not sure where you got the idea that everyone on the site eats the Gundry or Bredesen strictly everyday...

My daily carbs were kinda all over the place, but generally in mornings after a eating in the 50-100 grams range of carbs, my ketones would range over 1, and mornings after eating ...

In addition to low numbers of certain microbiome strains (that are carb lovers), I also have trouble keeping on...

This issue is probably more nuanced than choline = TMA = heart disease. I posted this article in another thread, but thought it would be useful to this discussion. Bottom line with any associative study is we don't understand what folks are eating besides meat or eggs (or anything else for that matt...

Erythritol Functional Roles in Oral-Systemic Health Oral health studies revealed that erythritol can reduce dental plaque weight, reduce dental plaque acids, reduce counts of mutans streptococci in saliva and dental plaque, and reduce the risk for dental caries better than sorbitol and xylitol, res...

When you say "minor allele" are you saying that "G" is the non-protective version that is usually associated with ApoE4? The paper I cited earlier in this thread said "G" increases the risk. Sorry, we all hope to win the genetic lottery to modify E4 effects, but someti...
