It's mostly a waste. Very difficult to eat enough bacteria to have them compete with your extant gut flora. This paper is questionable for other reasons.

The (in my opinion) authoritative source [Institute of Medicine] recommends this for macros [1]: Carbohydrates: 45-65% Fats: 20-35% Proteins: 10-35% I don't think these macros are wildly unhealthy. Bodybuilders may require more protein

You are correct on both counts. Cholesterol is absolutely required, both as cholesterol and a precursor to other compounds. However, there is a significant level of biosynthesis that occurs in most (if not all) of our cells.

I'm disappointed they haven't fixed the low amount of fiber (16g/day). The Institute of Medicine recommends 38g/day in men [1]. They reduced fiber in v1.4 because it was causing flatulence in some people. This is probabl

This is really cool. It could be pretty fundamental biology that people just haven't looked at.

I know I probably invited inflammatory responses by suggesting that the best PhD students are able to stay in academia, which I admit is an overgeneralization. From what I see (and this is getting more personal than I'd like to from a

My main point was that product-driven start-ups are not going to be able to do the basic science research needed to get revolutionary advances in things like aging research. You're complaining about getting only 7 years of protected re

It seems like Silicon Valley is full of people who love espousing their noble ideas but got rich via (as Thiel admits) at best socially neutral things like Facebook and Paypal. As for the anti-aging research: Fund the NIH. Basic science lik

I'f that comment was sarcastic, I may have missed it... Does there have to be a better way? It's not a complex transaction and it seems like it's pretty much solved. Now they store your information for easier access.

You only need oxygen for metabolic activity. When you cool the brain, you can slow oxygen metabolism enormously. It's common to go without perfusion to the brain for up to an hour during certain surgeries.

I agree. It is somewhat misleading to represent yourself as a "Professor" when you are an adjunct, non-tenure track instructor/faculty member. In response to the earlier question which you also answered: In general, in Americ
