Re: How TMAO Fooled Us

I find the articles on TMAO feeding to promote cardiovascular disease somewhat convincing. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6300890/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4943035/ It doesn't seem so much like an unhealthy diet or kidney disease happens to be associated with this T...

An old but potentially useful article on cranberries and LDL

When thinking about caloric restriction or carbohydrate restriction, one side effect might be a reduction in hepatic LDL-receptor density as it relates to thyroid hormone activity. Lower clearance rates mean longer circulation times and a greater chance for oxidation. When trying to reduce the rate ...

Re: Viome Testing

Dave Asprey's Bulletproof podcast just featured Naveen Jain and Viome . COI alert: Dave Asprey is an investor in Biome (which he does state along the way). I found it short on discussing just how the process works beyond references to AI, big data and the like. This page at their website describes ...

Re: Smoothies? All in one shakes?

If I was throwing a quick blend together (without optimizing for price), this looks like it would be a pretty cool mix: * Spectrum Vibrance (143,590 ORAC serving of mixed polyphenol-rich extracts @ 4g net carbs) * Flavored Grassfed Whey / Marine Collagen Peptides (High in glycine + cysteine for GSH,...

Oral Systemic Bioavailability of Bisphenol A and Bisphenol S in Pigs (EHP July 2019)

Oral Systemic Bioavailability of Bisphenol A and Bisphenol S in Pigs: https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/full/10.1289/EHP4599 Due to concerns about its safety, the use of bisphenol A (BPA) has been restricted, and structural analogs, especially bisphenol S (BPS), have mainly replaced BPA in consumer prod...

Re: Question about supplements and endalznow.org

This seems like sound general advice, although, lately I'm not very impressed with FDA standards. This is the same group that has approved flavored e-cigarettes with propylene glycol, BPA-coated (and later BPS-coated) food containers and teflon-coated cookware, carrageenan in meats, hydrogenated fat...

Re: Keto, blood surgar, cholesterol, protein--how to balance?

I'm not promoting a higher protein intake or protein supplement, however, these guys make a decent product (although, it's out of stock): https://www.nutrabio.com/product/OPP/ a serving comes with 2 grams of carbohydrates, one of which is fiber. Vegan protein is a bit easier to handle with enzymes. ...

Re: There Is No Best Diet

...wait what? A high-fat muffin? Sure, just google "keto muffin" It's still not quite clear to me if these were keto-friendly muffins, or muffins with additional fat (which might require more insulin to attenuate the glucose spike.) If these were ketogenic foods, the blood sugar testing i...

Re: Keto, blood surgar, cholesterol, protein--how to balance?

Welcome to the forum! Adding a bit more seafood/shellfish or lean protein to your diet would increase the amino acid intake without adding much in the way of SFA or cholesterol (if you are in fact, a hyper-responder to these.) Alternatively, if you're merely looking to add protein to a keto diet, so...
