@haidut very interesting there has long been studies showing a connection between low membrane unsaturation in animals and life exptency. Low membrane unsaturation causes uncoupling, so that checks out.

Btw calling DNP a benign uncoupler is problematic.
I know what you mean by it (being the mechanism of action). But many people will read this as :

"haidut said it's safe so I can buy some random yellow powder from China, hope that it's DNP, and take way too much of it."

I've had that discussion before and it's surprisingly hard to convince some people that taking DNP might kill you.
A simple dosing error on bad day might do that. DNP accumulates from day to day making overdosing more likely. You have no idea what you get from China, if it's not tested. And people go on body building forums and get their dosing recommendations from those type of guys. Maybe the reason for them not posting anymore after a while is not just that because they loose interest in following up if you know what I mean...

@haidut Fascinating !
The researchers mentioning wood animals made me think of T3 as an anti-hibernation hormone. When animals seek to hibernate they can't use curiosity so they seek out certain foods high in PUFA to decrease thyroid hormone.

What about so called progesterone positive cancers. I never bought the story of progesterone positive.

Cool to see that get through finally after decades of people talking about this . (& for its effect on teeth, my sensitivity went away when i stopped using toothpaste with this in it)

Taurine gives protection against fluoride (if dont get along with it well at 500mg lower doses probably work well too, even <100mg is protective against mercury toxicity)

and ~300mg GABA can reverse most of its impact on thyroid (lower dose works best) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330609672_Analysis_of_the_protective_effects_of_g-aminobutyric_acid_during_fluoride-induced_hypothyroidism_in_male_Kunming_mice

I saw on rpf someone mentioned majority gamma is the main one to be aware to supplement for tobacco smokers.

do you think famotidine is superior to cyproheptadine to keep in the medicine cabinet?

@Butter-Girl meals high in meat , seafood, some wholegrains if eating for the fiber & nutrients e.g spelt (ray said some of his teeth decayed from a time where he was eating a lot of wheat germ for the nutrients without calcium)

@latin some animal growth plate never close some reason

Do you all think starch as opposed to just fruit and honey is important for growing children?
