The position that saturated fat is causative in heart disease is not the default position. If an idea is going to generate prescriptive advice it should come with ample supporting evidence. Despite this we've been strongly indoctri

I define healthy fat as meat which came from a healthy animal. I define a healthy animal as an animal that was raised in accordance with its species' natural diet and lifestyle. Grassfed beed, pasture raised pork, wild caught seafood.

The connection between saturated fat and coronary heart disease has had a lot of legitimate doubt cast upon it in the past decade. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20071648 If you say "eating fatty things will g

Eh, I dunno. Dude creates something. It gets widely adopted. Other group of people want to improve on it by changing it. Dude's stance is: That's fine, I guess... but use your own name. Seems reasonable.

From an evolutionary standpoint periods of famine were certainly a selective pressure for our ancestors. It could make sense that prolonged periods of no-food are not only something our bodies have adapted to survive, but have adapted to th

If bicyclists are to be allowed in vehicular traffic lanes, then they should be treated as vehicles and governed by the exact same laws as vehicles. No exceptions. Bicycles are part of a larger system and that system runs on expectations. A

This is a good tip but it comes too late. To deal with this exact frustration I decided years back to simply never minimize anything ever. It's working well for me.

For ruminants, yes. But I think "just" might be understating it. Corn-fed cattle do not have the proper stomach ph to naturally protect against bacteria overgrowth in their stomachs (whereas if they consumed solely grass, this is

For a counter-point, I eat an extremely meat heavy diet and have a superb CRP number (.23). It's more likely about avoiding low quality meats, which unfortunately is what 95% of the meat produced in the US is.

I'm going to go ahead and down vote you here as well. I'm a type one diabetic on a ketogenic diet. Continuous glucose monitoring is still extremely valuable to my health.

I said expensive [AND] disposable parts, not OR. I'm sure it will be expensive, but doubt it would need to be disposable: current CGMs rely on injecting a metal sensor into subcutaneous fat. After about a week your body starts to heal

As a type 1 diabetic I can say this would be a huge improvement over current continuous glucose monitoring systems. No expensive disposable parts. No needing to inject a new sensor each week. No strange, uncomfortable, and (often) painful b

In the same vein, I highly recommend people try cutting out grains for 40 days. If you're like me, you may very quickly feel so drastically better that going back to grain-eating would be out of the question. Don't get me wrong: m

I agree that tactile feedback is an advantage to physical typing. I'm not ignoring that aspect when I say that virtual keyboard typing is fine . Virtual keyboard typing is not as fast as physical keyboard typing. I type 80 WPM on a ph

Then you're doing it wrong. Either you don't use proper typing style on a physical keyboard (all 10 fingers, each responsible for a specific set of keys), or you haven't put the effort into adapting that typing style for virt

Typing is such a widely voiced complaint because it's new and difficult at first and requires practice . Instead of putting in the effort, almost everyone assumes the virtual keyboard paradigm is broken and simply throws their hands u

Yup, it does narrow your market even further. But not in a very meaningful way. iPhone owners are drastically more likely to download and use your app than on any other platform. The hard question is whether to launch on the web or mobile f

What I'm responding to is the fact that most foods don't contain gluten in the first place and people who are severely allergic to gluten know better than to eat foods in which gluten has been "removed" from the food through some chemical p

Thanks for the clarification. I'd say as long as it was clear that a message was going to be sent, then a the "Who would you vouch for?" context actually makes the recommendation less inappropriate and puts FD even more in the right. (Of
