@Peatly I guess quoting and promoting Marx, Lenin, Stalin, or Wilhelm Reich by Ray Peat and users in other threads is alright, but using out-of-context quote from Malthus for fun is too far. (Btw Paul Ehrlich had arguably more influence on modern elites than Malthus whom he never cites AFAIK tho he's work is a massively dumbbed down version of Malthus.)

So, please stop virtue signalling and respond to the argument, or at least don't play the victim card.

Here we go, jump from 1 straight to 10. Why is it that when you guys are called out you fall back on saying you were joking? You knew exactly what you were doing with that quote. No, I am not playing the victim, all of us are being poisoned.

I don't have virtue to signal. I just have a bullshitometer which goes off at regular intervals. How is that for a laugh?

Fried foods are really the worst thing for your blood sugar and diabetes period. That combination of starch and grease is a one way ticket to looking like Nikocado Avocado

Agree. People underestimate fried pufa.

the first generation offspring of these immigrants had heads shaped more like New Yorkers or Puerto Ricans than like the European parents.

It's a very interesting observation, but it proves nothing. What would be required is a series of measurements over multiple generations and then to show that those changes can overpower genetic differences. For as far as we know they might have been moulding into an ostrich with New Yorkers being an intermediate state. Meanwhile, reappropriating Malthus' quote:

A writer may tell me that he thinks man will ultimately become an ostrich. I cannot properly contradict him. But before he can expect to bring any reasonable person over to his opinion, he ought to shew, that the necks of mankind have been gradually elongating; that the lips have grown harder, and more prominent; that the legs and feet are daily altering their shape; and that the hair is beginning to change into stubs of feathers. And till the probability of so wonderful a conversion can be shewn, it is surely lost time and lost eloquence to expatiate on the happiness of man in such a state

You are quoting from an essay that spawned the eugenicists’ policies which caused mass suffering and death around the world. May I remind you that the reason why we are swimming in seed oil, just one example, is because of these policies? You/we are the excess to requirement they want to reduce.

I have nothing else to add to what I posted above.

Well said @Peatful, even the sweary bit

@ThinPicking Yes you were clear.

I've taken issue with the idea genetic differences can explain variance in cognitive potential. Assuming that's even measurable. And assuming a height of it is even desirable. This seems to be a metabolic and environmental phenomenon.

I could take issue with the idea that genes are deterministic of physical differences over several generations, or that they're able to retain them if there are drastic changes in environment. But that's not the angle here. They certainly reflect them at any given moment.

The environmental influence is apparent even within the first generation when people migrate. Dr. Peat mentions the work of anthropologist Boas in this passage:

“Professor Franz Boas at Columbia thought of himself as a Darwinist and evolution-oriented thinker, but when he actually studied the facts, he was showing that the environment rather than the genes govern even the person's biology, not only their language and thoughts and culture and ordinary everyday behavior, but even the shape of their organism. He measured the heads of Europeans who had moved either to New York or Puerto Rico and found that the first generation offspring of these immigrants had heads shaped more like New Yorkers or Puerto Ricans than like the European parents. Even though he thought of himself as a Darwinist, it showed the powerful importance of the material and the social culture that people move into, shaping even the organism, the body.” Ray Peat

Though Boas does not dismiss heredity completely but he warns against giving it too much prominence

@DonkeyDude Please be careful – we are in a time where almost everything can be pathologised and medicated. The consequences are dire in the long run.

You can only protect yourself if you know the truth (or at least get as close to the truth as possible)

@brad Thank you, I will

All I have to do is look at a pufa meal and I feel close to a heart attack. I don’t know how those old people in care homes and hospitals can stomach it. My parents swapped butter for margarine. They were sold a lie, perhaps one of the biggest lies of their generation. The lie persists.

Keep it low and if low go lower

Pufa: Eat now pay later.

@DavidPS it was the "show sources" feature that nailed it for me. It is reassuring to know that the “Real Peat” is there too.

Thank you @brad excellent work.

I’ve been moonlighting with Peatbot @DavidPS

Early days...............seems promising

@ThinPicking Actually, I find listening to Mercola is a bit torturous but Georgi I never tire listening to

I don’t know if other people remember playing hide and seek as a child. You covered your eyes and thought no one could see you. Childhood – everything was possible.

@A-Former-User said in How Your Microbiome Influences Your Dietary Recommendations - Interview With Georgi Dinkov:

Well if you think of the human gut microbiome like a flower meadow which requires all the different species to be a healthy ecosystem its no surprise this is the truth... Humans are not meant to live in sterile environments.. If you have a diverse gut microbiome it works like a well oiled machine and the different species all complement AND balance eachother out to provide a healthy ecosystem that makes us healthy. In ecosystems diversity brings stability, why not the same in human guts?

If there is diversity taking out one part won't hurt. No diversity means taking out one part can make it all come crashing down.

The human gut microbiome is not like a flower meadow (whoever you are, you deleted you account so no debate can be had) - sometimes bacterial species get into the digestive tract and prevents normal functioning. Safe fibers help maintain a balance. “The whole small intestine in a very healthy person is sterile,” according to Dr. Peat. It is not about creating a sterile system in the whole organism but keeping the part that should be sterile clean. Even if someone can be tested and found to carry a particular strain of ‘whatever’, what remedy will be prescribed? Some of the probiotics, or even fermented foods, that people are sold as being healthy can be the opposite.

Genomic surveillance by interested parties WHO don’t have our best interest at heart is being advanced. I don’t fully understand what is going on so I am exercising healthy scepticism whilst I do the research. Failure to do so previously landed me in the hands of experts who did more harm than good.

Metagenomics-enabled microbial surveillance

Foolish me, @Regina there I was thinking silence is consent.

I think your meme is supposed to have wider application but for now I will restrict my response to this video. I can’t really comment about Georgi because I didn’t watch the whole interview so I don’t know if he was in full agreement with Mercola or not.

On discerning who is foolish or not; the problem these days is that relatively intelligent people are paid a lot of money to be stupid. You can’t be sure who you are dealing with. I rarely assume I am dealing with idiots.

@ThinPicking fascinating you say? I'm almost convinced to watch the whole interview

The idea that Dr Peat missed something which Mercola is going to clarify is highly unlikely. I could only manage 20mins of this. 5mins in Mercola tells us what Dr Peat missed regarding microbiome then goes on to repeat that he was wrong about fructose too. When he says he is going to open a clinic testing microbiomes I wasn’t surprised. It seems everyone is interested in gut microbiome these days. Data is big business including poo data.

@bonobobookends Yes, like Peat said no facts

From the book - page 354

2002-2004
 My wife bought flavored fish oil supplements, thinking it was good for us. The package’s label says it’s Omega-3 from fish sources. It didn’t list any vitamin A content whatsoever.
 Supplement with this daily, ~5 days per week for several years.

I am glad you restored this thread.

He didn't do research for the first book but now he is writing another book? The audacity. No wonder Dr. Peat said this about his book

"someone sent me these books by a recent author claiming that there is vitamin A toxicity rampant and I looked through it and couldn't find any facts at all.”

Vaccines are a good explanation for why there is an epidemic of autoimmune diseases. Injecting foreign proteins into people is never a good idea.

If you are having jaundice like symptoms perhaps getting blood work done for liver, kidney, and thyroid function might be helpful.
