@LunaticRed Yes but Neurosteroids cross the BBB. Peripheral reduction will decrease Brain levels. If you reduce progesterone's metabolism, that won't mean substantially more gets into the brain. The brain can't do all the converison.

@Korven You get a tan with the sperti lamp? Korven means sausage in swedish for all non swedes

But astrocytes are known to be basically glycolytic, so klotho seems to me to be just reinforcing their mode of operation. Glycolysis is bad when it shouldn't happen there, but sometimes it's a better option than OXPHOS, even if it's inefficient. Just imagine how quickly oxygen would be depleted if the brain chose to do OXPHOS predominantly with fatty acids, as is the case with the heart, or how much superoxide would be generated...

@Jennifer yeah I've been fretting about all that weight that I'm wasting. You're saying that it's good for the plants. Okay well I'll try that. I just have to have some plants. I also made a big improvement in the process. I got a big ol' strainer that fits over the mouth of the big bowl or whatever. Now I can let it cool a bit and then I can just put the mouth-size strainer on the pot or bowl, turn it over, and it just drains away. I only have the one pot and the strainer to clean.

@user73636 I just bought some royal jelly that arrived in a cold pack. It should be very good quality. Thanks for bringing this up. Have you tried it?

@user73636 Got it: Keeping to piña coladas, caipirinhas and pear nectar tequila or gin henceforth! Good call! Or do these ingredients indeed require a mutually synergistic blend?

"The evidence from history, as well as animal experiments, is that you can produce it (homosexuality) by stress during gestation. And everyone is abnormal in some way - that isn't something that I think law should be involved in regulating in any way. But I think the evidence is clear that it's a particular product of both prenatal and early life stresses." - Ray Generative Energy #70 https://www.youtube.com/live/Pdb_xOl3GJY?si=_3Fu5-5xKBxoovp1&t=5933

It got better yesterday. Unclear if it was due to Aspirin, Zinc, Glycine, Taurine, the allergen reduction efforts finally paying off or if it was just coincidence.

@penis said in The processing of MILK and unsaturation: So they've found a way to really adulterate milk. (...) But yeah milk is not just plain beautiful delicious milk anymore, what a pain in the ass Excerpt from a more complete answer: If you see 3.5 g fat for full-fat milk, it’s probably an aldultered one. An organic label doesn’t protect us if the milk is UHT treated. Try to avoid the deconstruction/reconstruction process. Search for the term VAT (vat-pasteurized = slow-heated) in USA and check the fat type when mentioned. The difference between Pasteurization and UHT is not just a matter of degrees; it is a fundamental change in the molecular shape of the milk: protein integrity, enzymatic activity and CLT / stearic acid fat types. A cow fed with corn and soy during the winter time (6 months) suffers more from systemic inflammation. A ruminant needs fiber to optimize pH and avoid a compromised stomach barrier (LPS problem) In short: the cow’s rumen is a master-filter that turns polyunsaturated fats into saturated ones, but it needs the “scratch factor” of grass to keep its stomach lining intact. Six months of corn and soy essentially trades a healthy, diverse lipid profile (like CLA) for a more inflammatory one. More details in this post: English corner: Homogenized milk Vs pasteurized milk.

@sunsunsun said in switched to brown rice, cut back granulated sugar, increased vegetable (even raw) intake: @Gardner semolina pasta takes like 11-12 min to boil from dry. when cooking it I use just enough water so that it boils and almost all the water is evaporated in 11-12 minutes and whatever small amount left is starchy and can be used to make into the sauce. boil and toss water method seems wasteful af pouring all the leached vitamins and minerals down the drain. actually thanks for reminding me I am gonna have spaghetti for dinner made this way with ground beef and tomato sauce. I ate a vegetarian person's cooking for dinner for the past few days and it has been supremely unsatisfying so having this is going to be nice. I use Molisana dry pasta noodles and the ones I get don't have anything added to the semolina. Check labels though because it is hit or miss sometimes. Yeah, it depends on the thickness of pasta and how it was processed. I choose brands of semolina pasta that take longer cooking , I believe those are less processed but anyway most brands I tried ,italian or local, were good

there are different types of nitric oxide the type from arginine/citrulline/minoxidil is the bad type things like ginko biloba and garlic are a good type https://www.reddit.com/r/raypeat/comments/1mg3rk4/why_does_nitric_oxide_lower_with_age_is_it_good/

@Mauritio mulberry trees are amazingly tough and birds spread there seeds extremely effectively in my city. White and black mulberry varieties grow wild along all parks and neglected areas. As a gardener I am always having to remove them and they put up the most incredible fight. You can cut them down completely over and over again and they just keep regrowing like “bring it on!” I’ve often joked that when humanity completely destroy this planet, mulberry trees along with a few others will be the life forms remaining to blanket and restore this earth. Long live the Mulberry tree! I walk by them in the parks and gobble down the fruit in the summer! Love them!

Good thread. I am trying to swish with salt water to fix my breath problem. My Mom says my breath is "very sweet" and according to the internet its a sign of ketosis. Well that's about the only thing it can not be. I know it gets worse when drinking coffee.

Not a problem for me like this (the soft tone for eye is fine). Suggestion: The function H (color) is not very useful so. Nothing change if next to the word "so" in the previous sentence. # Degree 1 Comment: I'd like the same format for the first option, not this huge one.

@BearWithMe Any updates about this whole conundrum?
