Okay the speculation of trenbolone being 8x as anabolic as testosterone (that I may of said?), may be true. According to the “Anabolics 11th Edition”, trenbolone is 5x as anabolic as nandrolone acetate. Therefore, using Vigorous’ “dubious maths” it is 6x as anabolic as testosterone. Given that in humans, it was given at 75mg hex ester every 2 weeks, it’s totally plausible. 225mg every week of T for a burn patient doesn’t seem crazy. Nandrolone decanoate is given at 100mg a week. That’s 125mg T a week in terms of matching anabolism So for those reading, tren is approximately 6-8x as anabolic as testosterone https://youtu.be/OeRFm_9uRk0?si=NVbrAiiAchxIUS_1

Here's a good video on blueberries. This guy tested a bunch of different blueberries from German supermarkets and saw some interesting results. For example Anthocyanin content was 7 times higher in some organic brands. And many more,check it out. He also linked a study that showed People with the highest intake of anthocyanins, had a 32% lower chance of dieing and a 38% lower chance of getting heart disease.

@sunsunsun Usually slow release has a reason it is "slow release;" a chemical reason. That is most likely what is causing disturbances in pup's guts. When used properly, with the right cofactors, which you aptly listed, aspirin is fantastic. Hence, why they paint it in a bad light! This isn't new however. During the first fake pandemic: start of industrializing-rothchildism take-overs-celebrating birth of hypodermic needle-polluting of true medical texts, etc, namely the so-called "spanish flu," which was actually and also vaccine injuries of that time, they totally demonized aspirin. Later as publications were discovered supporting anti-aspirin sentiment, they noticed that upwards of 30 grams!!! of aspirin was used in those studies!

Damn, talks about broken collarbones and today Vingegaard crashes and likely breaks his.

@wester130 I know nothing of cardamom's specific chemical effects on the body, but I know its one of my favorite spices. Several years ago I made extracts of herbs and spices, with cardamom being one of them. I have to stop myself from using it, so I won't run out...haha. I've mixed it in milk as well, with vanilla and sugar. Sometimes I'll add cocoa for chocolate milk. Now I know why it's so expensive.

I have a ton of notes throughout the years, on health and nutrition, but I tend to be going off the cuff these days, i.e, by memory. In that vein, I recall reading cocoa butter is indeed the key ingredient to look for in quality chocolate; and the further down the list it is, or even non-existent, the more the chocolate bar/candy drifts from quality. My additional 2 cents, and my personal litmus test for all chocolate, and all processed foods, is whether they use "natural flavor". I avoid all foods with natural flavor, for I interpret it as faking the taste of what should be a real taste produced as the result of a proper balance of real-food ingredients. I've noticed Nestle always uses natural flavors.

I forget where I read this, but purely by memory I recall any granulated sugar, not specifically noted as being "cane sugar", such as Walmart's store brand sugar, is made from beets, which is cheaper to produce because it is beets and not cane sugar. So, I've blindly followed this, and have looked specifically for "cane sugar" on packaging, thinking it to be better. I realize to those more in the know this may simply be stupid, and at the least ignorant, reasoning, but sometimes time and opportunity allow for just winging it on some things, and gleaning what you can when you can. Such as things like this: @cedric said: Polyphenols from sugar cane support Bifidobacteria.

@engineer i am currently doing 7 keto DHEA

What's going on with the old ray peat forum? Has it gone through some kind o recent change?

@engineer is sexo performance higher

Update: after about 6 days off those substances, plus swishing Baking soda in water after every meal or swishing with water after a coffee/juice, all my tooth pain is gone, and they’re slightly less yellowed. I remember someone on the old rpf talking about Ray suggesting that to them, and they supposedly fully restored their teeth from the nubs with the inclusion of fixing metabolism

Vegan diet plus my kids blood. Got it.
