New "Mission" of RPF

@risingfire said in New "Mission" of RPF:
I read a very interesting quote on the ray peat forum in one of the most recent threads:
"Here you go. Garrett Smith prefers sunflower oil , #ggenereux claims that coconut oil is no good because it delivers vit A all around your system and now biochemist Karen Hurd calls it coconut fad . Who would think...
Mitochondria converts saturated fat into unsaturated fat through the beta oxidation cycle , 6 step process, within which you create free-radical damage , that is radical oxidative species which damage your DNA within cells . Now you know why you have aging , gray hair , cancer ...
We alter our DNA because we have these free radicals because we had to turn bad fat (saturated) into a good fat (unsaturated)..."As far as I know, it's very rare for saturated fat to convert into unsaturated fats. I've only read one study where they needed technology to convert it.

Does anyone with a better understanding of biochemistry know if it's common for this conversion?
The SCD1 enzyme converts saturated into monounsaturated fat.

Seems like raypeatforum is making a comeback. Lots of active threads lately.
-
The Dr. Stephens stuff put the spotlight back on a lot of Ray Peat principles.
-
"Case No, 24-251, regarding Dr. Smith, will be reviewed by the Board at the meeting of July 11, 2024. The meeting will be held virtually."
This is the latest. This is the second review of Dr. Smith. -

lol who cares? even if it went back to what it was, the damage is done and the asshole who owns it will just go through another cycle of mania at some point anyway

You are referring to….?
Hijacking Peat’s work without acknowledgement (although using his name as the domain)
Or something else? -
Here, please.

oops. I was typing the post late at night and might have posted it by accident
the rest of the post is probably gone from my head now..
probably what you said though.

Is difficult when its velocity is directed or misdirected.

an illegitimate way
This is not a court of law. And entry into force of alteration to commercial law should probably be delayed after passing and not applied ex post facto.

q4h, if that does not make sense to you. You now have 14 days to read around and interpret it before you respond.
Thank you.

I don't think I will ever understand at this rate.

You will. No rush, q4h3

I've lurked on the RPF for years and it was a godsend in many ways. But I'm so dismayed about the cult it has become, which has as little to do with RP and objectivity as possible, and viciously attacks everyone who even slightly thinks differently.
I saw this post this morning about some dude's self-experimentation with penis enhancement, another dude asks what looks like a genuine question about it, then he gets slammed for being a demon and the discussion locked so he can't even defend himself and nobody else can talk about the topic.
This is wild shit calling a dude a demon for not being lock step with the values of their Christian sect and the "no vitamin A" stuff.

It's not fun posting when you don't know what's acceptable from minute to minute.
-
@Insomniac I think I remember you from the good old days of RPF. If that's true, it's great to see you here
Yup, this new pseudo-RPF is a hostile place if you decide to think for yourself and/or ask questions that emotionally trigger some of the super-christians there. Perceive, think, act indeed -
@OliverCloasov
It seems that charlie accuses people exactly of the things that he is doing.
psychologically speaking it that is the repressed shadow trying to find a way to make itself free/heard.Dare to think.

The RPF is currently unreadable from fireworks animations all over the page. Thanks Charlie!
Edit: looks like it was removed right as I posted this.

@VehmicJuryman It's a day early anyways, lol.
