Young me quickly then learned that integrated lithium ion batteries were not easily replaceable and degraded significantly after 1.5 years…

I don’t assume either way. Are you American?

Nice stick

You think it is harmless, Singapore does not.

I think that perhaps unrefined palm oil is not as bad, but it is bright red and has a strong flavour. Industrially refined any sort of seed oil is best avoided.

Consider also reducing your sugar intake!

I believe the current view on LDL is that its level what the body needs it to be and generally doesn’t require intervention. However, the Tg/HDL ratio is a reasonably good indicator of your metabolic health. OTOH Tg should be below 100 mg/dL, and ideally it should be lower than the HDL reading. The ratio of Tg/HDL should be below 1.8, using mg/dL.

The downvotes don’t bother me. The day I stop getting downvotes is probably when I no longer need to bring this up :)

Cholesterol doesn’t cause heart disease, and salt in the form of sodium is fine too as long as you don’t have chronically elevated levels of insulin in your blood.

Cholesterol has not been scientifically established to be the cause of heart disease in human beings. It was based on a study that was done on rabbits fed cholesterol and vegetable oil. The ensuing focus on low-fat diets has caused in my opinion an untold amount of suffering, including my own NAFLD.

Ancel Keys was a fish physiologist. He was highly charismatic, had a forceful personality, and dismissive of his peers that did not share his theory of heart disease.

Ancel Keys, the perpetuator of the diet heart hypothesis.

Avoiding all ultraprocessed foods and eating an appropriate diet.

The CNY is pegged to a basket of currencies.

What I think he’s trying to say is that Glyphosate affects the shikimate pathway, which is a biological pathway in plants. This doesn’t exist in human cells, but it does exist in our gut microbiota.

We also know now that Glyphosate is a glycine analogue and can displace glycine anywhere in protein synthesis, with unknown effects. It’s also likely an endocrine disrupter.

Mass is not conserved. And while CICO may be true in the same sense that spherical cows can be used as an approximation, the devil’s in the details.

Let’s not forget the industrial pesticides, which are also everywhere.

You should consider looking into the bioavailability of nutrients from meat vs legumes when factoring in value for money, also.

If all you need to do, as you say, is to “burn more and eat less”, then how come people with T1D lose weight while eating more? It’s physics, right?

Not only is it not set in stone, it appears that your BMR is affected by what you do. If not provided with sufficient nutrition, the body seems to adapt and lowers BMR.

The body isn’t a fire and food isn’t wood, so the analogy isn’t a very good one.
