@zoeharcombe “Retirement of 32 indicators” - I wonder what those were.
Wouldn’t say it’s an area that needs “streamlining” in the way they’re suggesting, based on the literature
Important study from Volek and co! I can attest to this. Going keto for my final exams during my bachelor definitely got me through. The difference in my mental state was very apparent.

“Triglycerides are an important fuel reserve for synapse function in the brain���
This paper challenges a long-held belief that the brain does not utilise fatty acids.

Untangling the Seed Oil Debate: ⚠️WARNING ⚠️Don’t Read If You Like Your Echo-Chamber
(🔗 at the end)
1/11) One of the most heated and fascinating debates in the nutrition space right now is that of “seed oils.”
It’s one of the keystone issues for the “Make America Healthy Again” #MAHA movement.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who calls the seed oils in which fast food chains now cook their French fries, “one of the most unhealthy ingredients we have in foods.”
This has led to a counterculture movement to replace industrialized plant-sourced fats, i.e., “seed oils,” with animal fats. There are cries to “Bring Back the Tallow Fries” to fast food chains like McDonald’s—the dietary version of “Make Fries Great Again.”
Up-front Acknowledgement
I spoke with several others composing this letter, including @drmarkhyman@paulsaladinomd@Physionic_PhD. Each provided references, input and/or feedback that was included in this letter in some form, and I look forward to ongoing conversations with each about this particularly controversial topic.
In fact, I’m releasing this letter now, rather than late July as originally planned, because I have a conversation planned with one of these men next week and thought community feedback would be ‘interesting’ fodder for our discussion.
The letter, should you choose to read it, may end up being a living document…
I once lost points on my bachelor thesis for suggesting that health organisations may be subtly favouring drugs over lifestyle interventions. Well, here is the American College of Cardiology explicitly touting Ozempic, etc. as a first-line treatment:

@lowcarbGP It’s a shame that the soil is so lacking in magnesium now. I’d say it’s a real public health issue!
I personally use magnesium glycinate powder but it’s a pain to take with a spoon. Need to acquire or start making capsules soon!
@DrScottMurray@AHAScience@American_Heart It’s almost comical when it’s laid out like this. I remember a few years back when they took $500k from the US corn refiners association a week or so before taking a strong stance against coconut oil.
