I'd have to gorge on pasta

"Salty as the sea" and it probably won't happen.

That will be a good experiment. Love salt

@cs3000 said in Any opinions on postprandial blood glucose spikes beyond 140. Should people worry?:

i think 150 could still be a healthy response for high carb low protein meal but depends when youre measuring it

Are you expecting tissue damage above 150?

A question I had is if someone spikes their sugar to a really high number like 300 for just a half hour and then it drops back to the normal fasting of 80, is there damage because the Hba1c should still be healthy.

Is there damage independent of the glycation because of the extreme of the peak? I'm not sure.

@LucH If it leads to hypoglycemia (as per your graph) then the question I would have is does that cause damage. But also looking at hypoglycemia complicates the question for me. I've heard the spike can drive appetite and that can drive overeating and son on but again that's just too complicated to work through.

@LucH I'd have to gorge on pasta or something to get it that high. It's more of a general question. I'm in really good shape right now.

I assume it can cause damage but everything does.

@LucH You're right. I'm thinking in terms of large spikes to over 140-150. I'll need to clarify.

It's a very popular theme these days that people should worry about excursions beyond 140 or so.

High carb diets will cause spikes for most people at least sometimes. I see people avoiding foods that cause spikes (often their favorite foods).

Do you worry?

frightening

brace yourself people

@natureman said in Peat did not believe in the androgenic man?:

Peat once made an infertile woman ovulate by lending her his cardigan.

that's fine but giving away clothing isn't the most macho thing I've ever heard.

Is the rest of the story that she gave birth to several science writers?

The keto movement has jumped the shark. Even Mark Bell officially moved on in a follow up video.

Analysis of Google data suggests online searches for the keto diet in the US, for example, have dropped 87 per cent from their peak in the first week of January 2019 compared with the first week of January 2023.

Looks like they're all repositioning themselves on the sinking ship

@eduardo-crispino said in Mark Bell and Cole Robinson (Snake Diet) show Ray Peat some love:

cole used to absolutely guzzle urine at one point

no stone unturned

Much respect to Dr. Peat but he didn't write a single newsletter on urine drinking afaik

It's not for me

Gone but not forgotten.
