So something new to think about here. I recently got Dr. Gundry's
The Plant Paradox Cookbook. In the beginning he calls for moderation in meat and dairy because they contain Neu5Gc, 'which is associated with cancer and heart disease' [p. 24]. This concept may be in his Plant Paradox book as well but I haven't read that.
So I looked up Neu5Gc. It turns out red meats and dairy have it, but birds and fish don't. Table S3 in
this paper gives some amounts by type of meat and cooking method (as well as by dairy). I don't like seeing goat cheese being rather high, since it may mean my 2 oz per day of goat keifer is high too. I recently read something suggesting that, despite the widespread image of early humans with spears bringing down mastadons and other large beasts, most of their animal intake was of small animals like fowl and rabbits. Wish I'd kept that source, but I suspect it varied by place and time anyway.
The message here is that it may be especially valuable to stick to birds and fish for the most part, which I generally do anyway but it wasn't to avoid the Neu5Gc I'm now a bit wary of.
Just to report, life has been off the tracks due to responsibilities for others, so I really haven't been focused on hitting Dr. Lyon's leucine targets at all. Given exercise is what promotes the valuable growth factor benefits of mTOR and IGF-1, even if these are higher from exercise alone, I may just try to up my protein whenever I exercise. This may help me balance my problem with exercise making me too hungry since I can't eat large amounts at one time, thus helping me with exercise, muscle building and exercise-associated hunger.
