B vitamins are water soluble and heat will evaporate water... Likewise for vitamin C. The other is personal experience. Try eating tartare and then some cooked meat and compare digestion & satiety. With raw meat I reach satiety much qui

What is that evidence? I just doesn't make sense to me, humans always were the most effective hunters and meat is much more nutritious than starch.

That's why I said "most drugs". That being said, there is an epidemic of childhood diabetes and _newborn_ obesity, which is entirely due to mother's high sugar & processed foods diets. It's a serious matter. Als

Well, I certainly don't see how burning the protein would make it more suitable for assimilation, I think it's a myth that's just been repeated without any evidence, if there is any I'm interested in hearing it, intuitiv

I think you meant poisonous plant compounds, but fermentation is a more effective process for this and is lower-tech.

On the contrary, our stomach acidity is higher than even carnivores, indicating we are adapted to scavenging.

That doesn't apply to meat though (at the very least). Water-soluble nutrients are destroyed by heat. Also, heat denatures protein, that would make it harder to use, not easier.

That nutritional availability may apply to plant matter (and not in all cases), but certainly not to meat, which likely was the major part of the diet. On the contrary, cooking destroys enzymes and evaporates water-soluble vitamins. Bacteri

Sugar costs way more in health consequences. It's easier to recover from abuse from most drugs than sugar, which is a slow poison, yet available everywhere and given to us since early childhood (actually, in the womb).

This might be both because vitamin D has low oral absorption, especially in high doses, and that staggering is necessary, and that some systemic effects take time to manifest.

by lambdaba 6y ago
Since obesity is correlated with nearly all chronic disease, one explanation is vitamin D being fat-soluble, it's plausible that some vitamin D gets trapped in fat and is therefore reduced in circulation.

That's a normal one-time dose for correcting a deficiency, I've heard of much larger doses, even 50K IU daily for months. 30-40 ng/mL is the suitable level, on the mid-range, not even a high level (optimal levels might be eve

The risk in children is from diabetes and metabolic syndrome, conversely what protects children most is a relatively well functioning immune system. As we've seen that coronavirus immunity is enhanced with exposure to other coronavirus

Here's an article that makes the same point with a great overview of the underlying mechanisms: https://breaknutrition.com/omega-6-fatty-acids-alternative-h...

Unfortunately no, the title is " Evaluation of chemical and physical changes in different commercial oils during heating", hopefully you can find it.

It might be good from a culinary perspective, perhaps smoke point is irrelevant, I was thinking of what causes degradation of the fats when subjected to heat.

It's probably equivalent but the taste doesn't go with most foods, also it goes bad much easier which again suggests less stability.

The problem is the fats in those oils are very susceptible to oxidation and have low smoke points, they are never safe as cooking oils for this reason. For cooking the best options outside of animal fats are olive oil and coconut oil, but o

Coconut milk is the ONLY valid "alternative". It doesn't have quite the same nutritional profile (lower protein and sugar), but it's actually more favorable. The best are without additive binders but some like gellan gum

I'm curious of your actual hunch, are you actually skeptical that canola (and other industrial seed oils) are not harmful?), or just pointing something out about the evidence?

by lambdaba 6y ago
Except one has an industrial polyunsaturated fat, the other actually suitable for a mammal saturated fat. That's a huge difference.

Age isn't the factor, it's just a proxy for immune system dysfunction brought on by diabetes / metabolic syndrome etc.

Walnuts and other nuts are often mentioned as sources but they're terrible compared to fish, and most importantly they contain a lot of omega-6, they are to be avoided if the objective is healthy.

Most studies use very small doses. In my experience the benefits are with what some would consider "megadoses", in the tens of grams range. This is what Dr. Barry Sears, who's a specialist in this area, uses with trauma patie

I know it certainly appears like a suboptimal strategy, but it assumes that the measures did indeed do what they were expected, that's contentious (we can discuss why, but I think it's obvious). In a risk-benefit analysis, it leav

Thank you for posting this. I too have healed "incurable" conditions with an (almost) all-meat diet. I hope the message spreads quickly, and I'm sure it will, there are probably hundreds of thousands of similar cases by now (
