Re: Neurologist and a 4/4

I've had no memory disturbances, although now I constantly question myself about trivia as a means of monitoring. I'm guessing others here do the same. Yes, certainly. Plus a sensible approach to evaluating the evidence - and what to do in the absence of evidence as well. Marty, one of my good frie...

Re: How do MCTs affect Lipids in E4s?

Don't many of the MCT oils come from coconut? If so, would Gundry suggest these be avoided? Any words of wisdom on weighing the benefits of MCT oils on cognitive health in apo E 3/4, 4/4 folks with cognitive decline vs possible increase in LDL-P and sd LDL particles? If lipids are worse on MCT oil,...

Re: Wahoo! finally got ketones

Congrats Dan! Just wondering, do you have a specific reason for restricting your carbs to late afternoon and evening? Susan, don't know why Dan does it, however there is an argument to minimize or not stimulate insulin as a reason for doing this. John Keifer (wrote a book titled "Carb Backload...

Re: New paper from Dr. Huang/Gladstone

Do you have a different assessment of E4 risk factor on CVD (the AD association is certainly settled)? MAC, you've not been around to remember Julie posting this paper two years ago: https://www.apoe4.info/forums/download/file.php?id=302&mode=view The ratio between MetSyn + and - = 1.96 / 0.21 ...

Re: Here is Where Low Carb Diets Ultimately Fail

Great discussion. What do you science boys think about my paradigm which is I don't worry about the odd nonsustained spike (or even twice a day which is when I chose to eat, its no hardship) in blood glucose ; but think the area under the curve for glucose and insulin is what matters. I believe tha...

Re: Football for youths

I played high school and college football in the US. In unenlightened days, I recall being taught and using a "head butt" pass rush technique. Playing the nose guard position, I would grab the center's shoulder pads, pull him toward me and crash my helmet into his and then pull him to one ...

Re: Here is Where Low Carb Diets Ultimately Fail

Sikaris introduces new concepts for me of Lp(a) and IDL beyond oxidized smdLDL as CVD risk factors, whereas Gundry was mainly about oxidized sdLDL? Sikaris considers these anomalies, (raised Lp(a) and IDL), in the LCHF blood biomarker data. Gundry tests for Lp(a) and is concerned if elevated. As pa...

Re: Here is Where Low Carb Diets Ultimately Fail

Thanks Theresa, so not full on vegan because of some of the omega and other benefits of seafood per Gundry? So the white fish is very low in fat. The shellfish, likewise. He says the fat & cholesterol in shellfish is good for us. And the egg fat also has a different profile. He would actually p...
