Yes, might be an issue with more restrictive definitions of added sugar. The number I found is 70-80g/day, which is a lot but if you count things like fruit juices which only have "natural" sugars... Made me think about: >

There are issues with heat treatment in those foods that create advanced glycation end products. Fats in ultra-processed tend to be low quality industrial seed oils, like soybean, sunflower, etc.

Starch breaks down into glucose, while sucrose is glucose + fructose. Refined fructose is uniquely harmful.

> Only in the US does UPF comprise 57.9% of energy intake, of which 89.7% is derived from added sugars. It should be no mystery that refined sugar is devastating to bones.

I was going to point that out. I feel this is way exaggerated.

Could you link to some of those "on acid" tweets?

It's because people's body fat has shifted towards polyunsaturated fats since they were told to avoid saturated fat. Eating saturated fat and avoiding polyunsaturated fat I don't sunburn anymore. At all.

They're terrible. Dr. Cate Shanahan is a great ressource for learning about this. I can provide further references but based on my research and experience I'd say they are the biggest contributor to the chronic disease epidemic.

Meal regularity is an invention, humans have an obvious biological adaptation to fasting, as evidenced in cases such as the 382-day fast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Barbieri%27s_fast

Check out the work of Dr. Cate Shanahan. Many interviews on YouTube. In short it's to do mainly with the linoleic acid (omega-6) content of those oils, these fats are highly unstable / subjected to oxidation. When they get integra

My conclusion after years of researching this as someone diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 24 is it's all about gut barrier integrity (and thereafter other barriers like the blood-brain barrier). The reason we're seeing people

I post similar comments and get the same downvotes. Keywords are "paleo", "keto" and "carnivore". I too have fully recovered from an incurable autoimmune illness.

That was probably because of electrolytes. Magnesium supplementation would have been a good idea, and still is.

Which is why ketogenic diets are so effective against such "diseases of overstimulation", ketone bodies have a stabilizing effect and gaba/glutamate balance normalizes. My personal conviction is the ketotic state is the defau

Whenever you mention that you're avoiding additives and "chemical sounding ingredients", people laugh and call you a "science denier", that you're simply ignorant and how these things are studied. In reality, t

Maybe, I don't have the exact figure either but it is known that a specific mutation (which I don't have) is needed for efficient conversion. This is telling that at some rather recent point (agriculture) humans started consuming

Here's a riddle for you: if seed oils were not toxic, why are mice given seed oils as low as 4-5% of calories in order to cause cancer in the presence of other carcinogens? They don't get cancer with the carcinogens alone, they ha

You keep saying "orthorexic" and I keep saying "toxic", up to you to look up the info which is abundant.

You're evidently misinformed, I've provided references (see Dr. Cate Shanahan for one) here regarding seed oils. There is no doubt they are toxic. Glad you're healthy, but look around you. These are the worst ones: Canola, Co

Flax doesn't have omega-3, but alpha-linolenic acid, which depending on your genetics you might not be able to convert to omega-3 sufficiently (see rs174547 gene). Sufficient omega-3 intake doesn't entirely mitigate the ills from

The problem today is not an unlimited supply of meat (for most of the world) but an unlimited supply of sugar and seed oils. And the super / unnaturally sweet fruit, this is what's hacking us.

I arrived at this conclusion both from personal experience (I've tried all the apparently reasonable diets) and the scientific data. Nuts are barely digestible. Our digestive system doesn't look like a herbivore / fruit eater
