  @sunsunsun said: @ZackVegas whole food pufa like nuts seeds and avocados (uncooked) are probably healthy in normal amounts in diet deep frying even with saturated fats is suboptimal imo Avocados don't have that much PUFA. An Avocado is about 5 ounces, and that would have about 13 grams of total fat. Of that total fat, only 1.5 grams is PUFA. The majority of Avocado fat is monounsaturated. Almonds are fairly high in PUFA. 2 ounces of almonds have 29 grams total fat, but only about 6 grams of PUFA. So, in normal amounts, those two examples might contribute 8 grams PUFA to a daily total. If other fats are eaten, they might be getting about 15 grams or so a day, which is close to the 1930 numbers. I'd agree that deep frying in things like beef tallow is sub optimal, but then again, so are nuts and avocados. But let's be honest.... avocados taste good, and french fries taste gewd. You should get enjoyment out of eating, and if something tastes great, you shouldn't have to avoid it just because it's not optimal. Deep frying in things like Tallow or HCO is benign to slightly healthy, as opposed to deep frying in high PUFA oils, which is certainly unhealthy.

  @disfrutarlo Nose is fine for the bag, and for everyday breathing Ray Peat thought it was better. On a 2015 KMUD show he said "When you breathe through your nose, especially if you have a good long nose, you have better retention of carbon dioxide." Nearly 10 minutes in a lunch bag is a lot longer than the minute or two he usually talked about. Do you notice anything after, like feeling warmer or calmer?

  @lobotomize Good framework, though the evidence-grade weighting in the default sort might bury solid animal/mechanistic work under mediocre human studies. Letting people re-weight it themselves could help. Bigger gap: how do contested claims get handled? If a newer RCT contradicts an older one, does the old card get flagged/archived, or do they just sit side by side? That seems like the whole point of avoiding rediscovery. Also worth adding a required sample size field to the submission template — two "Evidence B" studies can carry very different weight depending on n, and that gets lost if it's folded into the letter grade alone. Export for meta-analysis is a nice touch though.

  @sunsunsun did you try this? I'm curious about alcohol for the lipofuscin clearing and nothing else
