    In this human study using 1.5g/day, they saw some liver fat reduction, but unfortunetly no change in weight. So not all the benefits of the OP study seem to translate to humans. https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/2872/camu-camu-decreases-hepatic-steatosis-and-liver-injury-markers-in-overweight-hypertriglyceridemic-individuals-a-randomized-crossover-trial?_=1788701319075

    @ChroncStresChris Re "calcium d-glucarate, caffeine + K2, CO2, TUDCA, taurine, and niacinamide", That's a good idea of yours to focus on strengthening your liver. I would first try plain milk or eggshell powder for the calcium. They're less likely to cause digestive difficulty. Caffeine and k2 should be helpful, as well as should co2. I think I would drop the tudca coz the taurine takes care of what it would do (it's actually what I did for myself: bought it but soon after starting stopped using it) I'd also start with trying to get the nutrients from actual food, eg caffeine from coffee/tea, k2 and b vitamins from liver, taurine from seafood... And finally I guess you're also planning to get quality protein from things like cheese and eggs (along with something sweet like coke or orange juice to prevent triggering stress hormones) Good luck

    @Jennifer Haha, that is funny.  Ice cream was the answer.  I think in our very modern and very deficient world, love is a component in healing, beyond the technical and mechanical parts of healing needed.  Love is indeed a powerful thing; even beyond the emotional response, the deeper security and hope that love provides.  A strange coincidence, I received an email today for an ebook on sale on this very subject.  I prefer physical books, but the price of ebooks is just too good to pass up for my budgeted life these days. I realize not everyone wants or needs everything broken down academically: to use an analogy I've heard, some just want to eat the apple, they don't have to look at it in a microscope. Books and authors are a personal taste, no doubt, but just in case it would interest you:  https://www.amazon.com/Four-Loves-C-S-Lewis-ebook/dp/B01EFM8NI4 I was not aware of the cloudy egg white, as evidence of more CO2.  Interesting.  I did notice the egg whites were a bit cloudy just recently, but thought that was due to the cold of the refrigerator.  I've never had Nounós yogurt, but it does indeed look to be the cream of the crop.  I like the A2 and the glass container.  Next time I make it to Whole Foods, which is hardly never these days, I'll look for it. I agree with your egg perspective.  I eat 2-4 a day myself.  I've been considering adding some of Haidut's vitamin E several times a week, but since my PUFA is quite low in general, I don't worry too much about it.  Wow, hives from the lichen-derived.  (And I see I used the word mushroom-derived in error.)  I think I'll look for lanolin-derived.  I don't feel well on the vitamin D3 supplement I have, which I think is synthetic.  But I don't feel well on any supplements.  I think Haidut's D3 was a little better, but I don't completely remember.  It's been years since I've had his. Yeah, grounding.  I haven't done that is a while. That does look like good mayo that you linked, as far as store bought goes.  And 17oz for $9 is actually not too bad.  It would cost me a few dollars more to make it myself, but I see that I would be able to use a better olive oil.  I promise, I'm not dogging your mayo , I'm just attempting to be objective in my evaluation.  I would take your olive mayo over all the soy based mayos any day.  Coincidentally, I did just make mayo after my last message and it didn't take at first.  Really, it's one of my least favorite things to make.  I can be a bit neurotic in my quest for quality, so I'll continue to do it until I really lose my patience with it.  I believe the problem is that I was using bottled lemon juice versus fresh.

    @PrinceTrebata very ho behaviour not replying. Sorry. I stopped the back ones and still don’t do them( I am still catabolic! Not getting stronger in the gym! Back aches! Bone hurts!) despite getting more than enough protein. This is perfect btw. I am not trying to be anabolic, as that usually entails with some sort of fat growth or water retention from AAS. But that’s a different story more suited for the moggy chicken Currently have been and am doing high seat biking. If I recover (hopefully when I slowly ramp up the calories), and those issues go away, I’ll throw in the stretches and stretching machine. If I find a sustainable routine with time.

    An anecdote that i thought was very interesting was Jon Jones (arguable greatest MMA fighter of all time), along with his brothers Chandler and Arthur Jones (both NFL players) were birthed by a diabetic mother who later died from the illness. Obviously not enough to say there’s a direct correlation but interesting that a diabetic mother gave birth to 3 freak athletes

    @peater quite the opposite. High co2 makes you resemble an embryo. The body ultimately doesn't care whether atmospheric CO2 is high or not but what it physically responds to is atmospheric pressure and it used to be very high due to the earth smaller size in the past. You'll be your largest and longest at sea level.

    @raphadv I think it’s set by the toroidal shape/rotation in the womb. Same processes that cause scoliosis. Cortisol may be a primary driver. I think DHEA, vitamin D, K and calcium/magnesium all work together to return coherence over time

    Epidemiological studies can control for things that aren't being controlled for, or just have bad data. Israelis have relatively high rates of heart disease despite eating one of the most PUFA-rich diets in the world. This has resulted in the coining of the "Israel Paradox." Israel might not singularly disprove what you posted, as I don't have high insight into Israeli lifestyle habits. It's just food for thought. " In fact, Israeli Jews may be regarded as a population-based dietary experiment of the effect of a high omega-6 PUFA diet, a diet that until recently was widely recommended. Despite such national habits, there is paradoxically a high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and obesity-all diseases that are associated with hyperinsulinemia (HI) and insulin resistance (IR), and grouped together as the insulin resistance syndrome or syndrome X.

    @BioS "Similar hormonal, metabolic, and clinical alterations occurring in PCOS women have also been reported in their male relatives, suggesting a association between the male and female forms of the syndrome. Although the remarkable clinical manifestation of the male equivalent PCOS is diagnosed by the early-onset androgenetic alopecia, characterized by hair recession, pronounced hypertrichosis, insulin resistance, biochemical and hormonal abnormalities, the hormonal/metabolic profile is still controversial." Yeah, I read that there :[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7382675/], had the same conclusions. Prostate enlargement may be linked with hairloss and baldness in males. Interestingly for women even if they don't have a prostate, the "equivalent" the Skene's glands are larger than normal in thoses with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). AGA might be just male PCOS after all.

    @Faceguy said in IPAM (indolepropionamide) extends lifespan of rotifers by 300%: So it works better on rotifers but would presumably be less effective on mammals? I always knew knew being spineless, cold-blooded, and ciliated would pan out well for me. The researchers in the linked study added that in the species of rotifier they tested on, IPAM caused the single greatest lifespan increase of any molecule tested in any study. Obviously the equivalent dosage will likely not cause as potent effects in humans. However, it is an endogenous compound and quite small so it could be taken in larger doses at a small cost. Without as much concern for safety a synthetic drug would cause.

    You can make your own chocolate syrup with cacao powder, sugar, milk or water, and vanilla extract. Bringing this to a boil and reducing it allows it to become a syrup. The stearic acid in cacao butter can help a lot with your metabolism as it is dopaminergic (I think), increases mitochondrial fusion, and lowers cancer risk. +1 for the heavy metals as chocolate can be high in cadmium and aluminum. The polyphenols in chocolate can also help with digestion as it acts as a prebiotic (at least in pigs.)

    @alf to dumb it down big time: thyroid regulates metabolism. Hypothyroid people have less thyroid hormones than people with a well functioning thyroid. Less thyroid hormones, worse metabolism. More thyroid hormones, better metabolism.
