That sounds really interesting. Do you have any book recommendations that explain this process (ideally targeted at a non-medical audience)?

- lugged 5y agoNot a book but this does a good job exlaining it, https://youtu.be/FGoLcJxApCA https://youtu.be/FGoLcJxApCA
- totetsu 5y ago"the strong eat the weak", "autophagosomes are like soldiers", said my body builder standing in front of a "home farmstead" festooned set. .. this video is doing a lot more than explaining autophagy..
- lugged 5y agoWhat it does for you is between you and your YouTube overlords. For me, I try not to judge people for their body shape and listen to what they have to say regardless. The "festooned set" is a common thing across YouTube influencers and affiliate marketers, this guy particularly likes to push bone broth and other keto related stuff. Doesn't mean he isn't damn well versed in the subject matter though. If you like I can track down some old 3 hour long talks on autophagy and fasting if you'd prefer, those doc's are pretty funny too sometimes.
- totetsu 5y agoSorry if my comment seemed negative about the guy. Sometimes videos that have very marked signs like this one tickle my semiotics senses. It's a highly appealing video and I just wanted to pause and think why, and what other things it was transmitting.
- lugged 5y agoNot too negative, just wanted to make sure he was taken seriously, the amount of research and peer reviewed articles he covers in his videos is quite intensive, he doesn't half ass it at all.
- TimSchumann 5y agoI think 'The Cancer Code' by Dr. Jason Fung does a decent job of laying the groundwork.
- eyeball 5y agoThat guy is a quack.
- TimSchumann 5y agoI mean, he's a licensed practicing physician in Toronto, Ontario and nothing he advocates seems too far out of the mainstream medical science to me. Also, I just pulled out a copy of the book I mentioned, and in the appendix he's got 467 citations. I'd say ballpark over half of those are peer reviewed medical journals. Doesn't seem very duck-like, but I'm interested to hear your take on why he's a quack.
