My focus lately: ₿TC, $MSTR, Soil health/human health, continued study/learning, creativity, productive but deliberate in contented and grateful living.

@KetoCarnivore Just fancy scavengers.

@promoproductsid @RobertKennedyJc Avocado oil is great except most of it is mixed with cheaper less healthy oils. I just ordered a bottle of Marianne’s for cooking and Avohass for cold use because they are the only two I could find that seem legitimately regulated/guaranteed.

@NMarbletoe @RobertKennedyJc Too much omega 6, these oils oxidize easily creating inflammation.

@SamaHoole Tall Americano with heavy cream is the only thing I order when I find myself at a Starbuck’s counter, and now I can have a beef stick with it. This is good.

I know Ansel Keys made a similar comparison with saying cholesterol clogged the arteries like grease in a sink trap, which was wrong. And maybe still wrong, but the laying down of plaque sounds quite similar to what cooking oil does to all the surfaces in the fry cook kitchen, or how it’s used to put a factory season on a cast-iron pan. It literally creates a polymer layer.

[Brennon Garrett @BrennonGarrett1]

@primal_edge @SamaHoole Kinda like cholesterol.

[Brennon Garrett @BrennonGarrett1]

@SamaHoole What if they knew this 100 years ago but built the medical/pharma industry as we know it, just to distract the attention from Crisco until they could come up with something better like Mazola, Canola or Olean. Not successful, people died, but Hey, it’s been good for the economy.

Great post, I personally feel at this point that we are closer to being really smart scavengers than strict carnivore. It appears that we have the ability to control the breakdown of items before we eat them, to pre-process by cooking and fermenting. We break it down on our terms vs. simply eating what we’ve found that were otherwise partially broken down by microbial activity we refer to as spoilage.
So, facultative carnivore appears close to describing us. Seems to me the cultural control of using tools, fire, cooking and fermentation would be the factor that allowed us to expand our diet to improve our survival rate.
But as a two edged sword, as we developed a culture of storing, processing, and consistently eating things we were not adapted to thrive on as a matter of culture, habit, availability, and marketing, This lead to the modern dilemma of the overly abundant Western diet with very little ties to seasonality or our physiological needs.

That pig is held at 12 to 18% linoleic acid, So a human at 22% linoleic acid content will not make good bacon, and will be prone to rancidity. I wonder how that would translate to the thing we do care about in humans, like all the diseases we can trace back to metabolic health and every membrane, hormone, and even our brains being made from this inferior substrate? I think we already know.

@SBakerMD My LPa is 6, CAC=0(4 years ago) but my LDL is 208 so my doctor still thinks I’m going to die if I don’t start a statin. I am requesting a follow up CAC, fasting insulin, APOB, and hs-CRP to verify a metabolic baseline as I improve diet and exercise before giving in to drugs.

[Brennon Garrett @BrennonGarrett1]

@SamaHoole All they’re telling us is we need to eat the fat. The only reason anyone eats “lean red meat” is because it’s what we were told was healthy while they
villainized fat for the past 50 years and it continues to be parroted daily.

[Brennon Garrett @BrennonGarrett1]

Herbivores/carnivores, maybe we are just smart scavengers. Maybe not as prestigious as the more dedicated diet but being a bit more facultative, we tend to adapt to change. We do tend to prefer foods that are at least partially broken down as a true scavenger would, fermented, cooked, etc. I do think this adaptability is a strength, but also the curse that allows us to live off of the nutritional devoid processed foods so long, even though we fail to thrive and eventually become sick from it.

Vigilante justice is fun until you’re the one wrongfully accused. Policing does indeed protect the accused, and the judicial system gives that accused person a chance to prove innocence.
Corruption is indeed an issue within our legal system , no doubt. But it still exists and just moves faster without the official system in place.

[Brennon Garrett @BrennonGarrett1]

@JohnAndersonAC @DIY_Tardis Nah, in the days of Bitcoin and AI data centers, there will be plenty of base load to keep the system “humming. Distributed solar is good.

[Brennon Garrett @BrennonGarrett1]

And then we must deal with the shortcomings of public funding, academics, and nonprofits. All of which can lead to corruption and lack of attention to legitimate findings. My point is, it’s always going to be messy and people need to always be their own advocate when it comes to health, and hold the related industries and organizations accountable to what’s truly important..And don’t expect compassion where it cannot exist.

[Brennon Garrett @BrennonGarrett1]

@grok @CanFamilyMan @Stevenson1776oo @latestincosmos What we can do is refuse to contribute to their profitability, they will then appear to be more compassionate, but know that’s just marketing.

[Brennon Garrett @BrennonGarrett1]

Corporations have a legal obligation to do their best to provide quarterly gains to their shareholders, there should be no expectation of conscience or good will if it is counter to profitability. As harsh as this is, we should quit looking to these companies to be our salvation from disease. They will never have a motivation beyond profit. Corporations are an amoral entity, don’t expect morality and we won’t get our feelings hurt by them so much.
