When did I say that Brundo @BrundoCoban? What I said was that there is no published evidence to support the advice that athletes should be encouraged to ingest pharmacological doses of carbohydrates during exercise. I am sure that as a low-carb practitioner you might be concerned if you were to see the continuous glucose monitoring data of athletes, often of high status, during exercise when they ingest pharmacological doses of carbohydrate. Their blood glucose concentrations remain in the diabetic range for the duration that they continue to ingest carbohydrate at high rates during exercise. The point is that the long term consequences of this practice is unknown. And in medicine we have a saying that if you are going to provide pharmacological interventions to humans, you need to remember: First do no harm. In contrast to this complete absence of scientific evidence of benefit (other than the testimonials of elite athletes - which is anecdotal and does not constitute scientific evidence as we are repeatedly told whenever we present anecdotal evidence of benefit of the low carbohydrate diet. But it provides observations on which testable hypotheses can be developed and which we are doing), we have provided a series of recently published studies that are paradigm shifting. Over a period of 5 years we reviewed more than 600 scientific papers published over the past century and submitted our publication to an Endocrine journal (Endocrine Reviews) that enjoys a higher rating as a journal of excellence equal to that of the New England Journal of Medicine. The senior reviewer of the submission stated that the paper academic.oup.com/edrv/article/4… represents a paradigm shift in understanding the biology of carbohydrate metabolism during exercise and for this reason must be published. The paradigm shift that that paper proposes is that muscle glycogen/exogenous carbohydrate oxidation is not an obligatory fuel for human exercise performance. In contrast liver glycogen in the small glucose pool is vital because it is glucose content of that pool in the liver and blood stream that determines whether or not hypoglycemia will develop during exercise. And it is exercise-induced hypoglycemia, not exercise-induced muscle glycogen depletion in the large glucose pool, that is the potent metabolic/nutritional limiter of prolonged exercise performance. This is important because the carbohydrate that is eaten before exercise is what fills the large glucose pool (which we believe plays no part in human endurance performance for all the 16 reasons we present in the article) whereas the carbohydrate ingested during exercise protects glucose depletion in the small glucose pool thereby preventing the development of hypoglycemia. Importantly ingesting only 10-20g carbohydrate/hr is more than sufficient to prevent depletion of the small glucose pool and the developing of exercise-ending hypglycemia. Whilst we were preparing this paper we also conducted research for another paper also recently published journals.physiology.org/doi/epdf/10.11…. That paper tested the hypotheses that we had developed in the Endocrine Reviews paper and confirmed that they were correct - in other words confirming the existence of a needed paradigm shift. Importantly in the next few days these is to be an important announcement about the impact of that paradigm-shifting publication. I would have thought that low carbohydrate practitioners would be overjoyed by these studies. Because they provide valid scientific reasons why athletes should be discouraged from gorging on sugar-rich, highly addictive, ultra-processed foods of low nutrient value because "athletes need the calories" and that everyone knows that can always "outrun the effects of a bad diet". Well not always it seems tri247.com/triathlon-news… Or am I mistaken in all of this?

Congratulations Nick @nicknorwitz. Keep pushing. The world is finally taking notice.

@DianaT192 @ProfTimNoakes This is one of the reasons that we need to change the way we do medicine so that it is not primarily profit driven. In our current system cures are disincentivized.

Yes, sugar is.

Can a horse actually remember a person after an entire decade? If you ask Russell Crowe, the answer isn’t just a "yes"—it is a heartfelt "absolutely." The Hollywood star recently went public with a story that is melting hearts everywhere, proving that the bond between a human and an animal is much deeper than many people realize. It turns out that some friendships are simply too strong for time to erase. Back in the year 2000, Crowe was busy filming the legendary movie Gladiator. His partner through all those grueling battle scenes and dusty arenas was a noble horse named George. For months, the two worked side-by-side to bring the character of Maximus to life. They shared long days, intense physical demands, and the unique pressure of a massive film set. When the cameras stopped rolling, they went their separate ways, and ten years passed by without a single meeting. Fast forward to 2010. Crowe was on the set of Robin Hood when he noticed a familiar face—or rather, a familiar mane. Even though a decade had passed, Crowe recognized George immediately. Despite being assigned a different horse for this new movie, Crowe knew he had to go over and say hello to his old comrade. He had often wondered about animal memory, a topic he once discussed with fellow actor Liam Neeson. "I believe they do," Crowe said when talking about whether horses remember their past companions. "Animals have an extraordinary memory." He explained that horses aren't that different from dogs when it comes to loyalty. "With horses, it's the same, you create a bond with them that doesn't break." The reunion was nothing short of cinematic. As Crowe walked toward the horse, he didn't know if he would be met with a blank stare or a spark of recognition. He kept it simple. "When I got close to George, I greeted him with a 'Hello George'," Crowe recalled. What happened next blew everyone away. George didn't just stand there; he reacted with pure emotion. The horse lowered his head, walked up slowly, and leaned his entire body against Crowe’s chest. It wasn't just a random movement. It was a clear sign of comfort and recognition. "It was a unique moment," Crowe said. It was as if the last ten years had never happened. Standing there with his old friend, Crowe felt the need to share the good news of their past success. He leaned in and whispered a secret to the horse. "I then told him: 'We won an Oscar'." According to the actor, the horse’s response was so warm and genuine that it felt as if George truly understood the weight of what they had achieved together. This story is a powerful reminder of how sensitive horses really are. They don't just see us as riders; they read our tone of voice, our body language, and even the look in our eyes. They form memories based on trust and shared experiences. For George and Russell, those months on the Gladiator set created a "silent history" that stayed alive in the horse's mind for over 3,600 days. The bond between a human and an animal is built on a foundation of mutual respect. While we might move on to new jobs or new cities, the animals we treat with kindness never truly forget us. Crowe’s experience shows that love and loyalty are universal languages that don't require words to be understood. Kindness is a language that the deaf can hear, and the blind can see, and it is a memory that an animal will carry in its heart forever.

SHOCKING DUTCH COURT BOMBSHELL: COVID JABS OFFICIALLY LABELED BIOWEAPONS in Historic Case Against Bill Gates & Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla! For the FIRST TIME EVER, a Dutch court is hearing sworn evidence that the mRNA “vaccines” are **military bioweapons** — not medicine. The late Professor Francis Boyle — the world’s top bioweapons expert who literally **drafted the U.S. Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act** — was set to testify against Gates, Bourla and the rest of the “Architects of the Great Reset.” In his damning affidavit, Boyle called the COVID injections **“franken-shots”** — synthetic biological weapons packed with illegal gain-of-function spike proteins and Pentagon/DARPA nanotechnology delivery systems designed to cause **massive injury and death**. **Then, just days after agreeing to testify under oath in this very case… Professor Boyle was found dead.** Coincidence? Or convenient silencing of the one man who could legally define these shots as bioweapons under international law? His final testimony is now **court evidence.** Plaintiffs injured (and one now dead) from the jabs are suing Gates, Bourla, former Dutch PM Mark Rutte and others for **crimes against humanity** under the Rome Statute. The court has ordered Gates and Bourla to appear and answer for this. **WHAT WAS CALLED “CONSPIRACY THEORY” IS NOW OFFICIAL COURT EVIDENCE.** This is Nuremberg 2.0 unfolding in real time. The Great Reset is crumbling. The architects are being dragged into the light.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Japan: longest life expectancy on the planet (around 85 years). Plant-based advocates: "See? Rice and vegetables!" Japan's actual diet: Seafood: by far the most consumed animal protein, around 45-50kg per capita annually Pork: the most consumed land meat Chicken: a close second Beef: expensive but eaten regularly, and prized Eggs: among the highest per-capita consumption on Earth, often raw on rice Dashi (fish stock): the base of nearly every savoury dish on the table Roughly half of Japanese protein comes from animal sources. Their longevity gets pinned on the rice. Meanwhile they're eating fish at almost every meal, drowning their vegetables in fish stock, cracking eggs into breakfast, and treating beef like a luxury good worth saving up for. The fish is the meal. The rice is there to mop up the dashi. Acknowledging any of this would mean admitting that the longest-lived population on Earth eats half its protein from animals. And that conclusion doesn't fit the pamphlet. So they point at the rice. Hope nobody asks what's on top of it.

Coach Foote and his coaching team, only in year 2 and the performance graph is in a steep climb. We are way ahead of last year this time. I said it last week Monday as well. Yes there is work-ons, accuracy around the lineouts. They will sort it out. Maybe they played too much on the kick-off received in our 22m area or I might be too old for such adventures. They looked so good. Our scrum is so good. Our bench props Reid and van der Berg was destroying Australia. Ethan Adams is so good, power, pace and step. Mentions: Mumbere 'Wasi' Vyambwera, Kebotile Maake, Riley Norton (monster in the lineouts), Hendre Schoeman (the surprise to me, the unknown, but lots to like), Yaqeen Ahmed (this kid got so much talent),Phiwayinkosi 'Rambo' Kubheka (what a power name, he is a beast), Danie Kruger (he made me think of The Buffel of Bredasdorp), Akahlulwa Boqwana (solid at 15, some good runs), Jack Benade (pace pace pace) ... amazing performance!! Lets finish proper vs New Zealand.

I had four psychiatric hospitalizations for bipolar disorder before I was 22. I tried dozens of medications. My psychiatrist declared me treatment-resistant. Then I went on a ketogenic diet. My life changed forever. This treatment is about to change psychiatry. 🧵

🚨 NOW: President Trump confirms Rudy Giuliani is in "critical condition" in the hospital and offers words of support 🙏🏻 "Our fabulous Rudy Giuliani, a True Warrior, and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR, has been hospitalized, and is in critical condition. What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Radical Left Lunatics, Democrats ALL — AND HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING! They cheated on the Elections, fabricated hundreds of stories, did anything possible to destroy our Nation, and now, look at Rudy. So sad!" Pray for Rudy!
