I love diet coke. Aspartame doesn't taste as close to sugar as sucralose does, but it has no lingering aftertaste.

I'd just say that what's essential to eat (>50-60 g protein/day and a few grams of omega-3s) is different from what's optimal (what ratio of fat/carbs/protein).

Anything calorie dense (and therefore hyperpalatable) is easy to over eat. Fat is twice as energy dense as carbs or protein, so it adds a lot of calories. Put a tablespoon of olive oil into the skillet, and you're adding an empty 120 c

What I wrote makes perfect sense. Carbs fuel the body. Going low carb is miserable.

Do you believe that a plain bagel is less healthy than a slice of pie as a result? The pie will definitely have more added sugars. A plain bagel would make for a reasonable breakfast. Pie?

Yes you will feel like you have no energy during workouts. The primary fuel for muscles is glycogen. Cells use glucose by default. And fats are 9 cal/g, so they’re so easy to overeat. I don’t understand why limiting carbs makes any sen

This is a pithy statement belies the complexity of nutrition. Besides, researchers that linked heart disease to dietary fat didn't recommend that sugar be substituted in. And the diet heart hypothesis seems alive and well today; loweri

"The production of glucose from glucogenic amino acids involves these amino acids being converted to alpha keto acids and then to glucose, with both processes occurring in the liver. This mechanism predominates during catabolysis, risi

I was referring to the N1 and N2 values. But I realized I was wrong and that jet engines do operate at say 90% N1 during cruise.

This sounds wrong to me because I've read that the plane uses 90% thrust or something around that to take off, and at cruise, less thrust is needed.

Put it simply, there is reversible damage and irreversible damage. Oxidized protein aggregates that the cell can’t degrade are an example of irreversible aggregates. Amyloid protein fibrils, although no longer implicated in disease, are ano

The body forms structures over the course of development. But I don’t think it can replay those actions again. In places like the knee and eye lens, the cells that formed those structures did their job and dissolved their nuclei. I’m more f

I tend to think of aging as an overall degradation of the system. For instance, there’s loss of hair cells in the ear that reduces hearing higher frequencies. There’s clouding of the eye lens as the proteins there aggregate. Long lived cell

For the record, I believe the added blood flow from aerobic exercise is the most important factor -- I have no citation though. Being in a car is certainly different from being directly in the environment, but it's still mentally deman

The claim is that by running around outdoors, the brain gets used in a variety of ways such as navigation, decision-making, and sensory processing. Then why doesn't driving around in a car have similar benefits? Or does it?

The original example was not listening to music but audiophilia. The segment of music listeners that buy super-oxygen-free cables, tube amps, and expensive speakers seems to be heavily male-skewed.

It depends on the chemical. CO2 is not electrophilic, but something like an aldehyde, typically biochemically formed by oxidation, is electrophilic and reactive. The body biochemically oxidizes ethanol to acetaldehyde, whose reactivity give

In the US, sugar consumption is down but obesity is still trending upward. If anything, it's the added oils and fats that have gone up. https://www.cato-unbound.org/sites/cato-unbound.org/files/im...

Do the math for a potato-only diet. 1 baked potato is 171 calories. 2000/171 is 11.7 potatoes. 11.7*4.3 = 50.3. That's sufficient for a 62.5 kg individual by your 0.8 g/kg standard. Potatoes are also lower protein than a vari

Healthiest way to go about it is to go low-fat, high carb. The body uses glucose for energy most easily. Whole-foods plant based diets, as shown in documentaries like Forks Over Knives, have been shown to let people lose weight and reverse

My question is that whether the U-shaped curve found here is caused by similar phenomena as the J-shaped curve previously found for alcohol. That is, for alcohol, individuals who drank no alcohol tended to have disease or be recovering alco
