@Advocacy_tech @OneManCircus87 @ProfTimNoakes @zoeharcombe Yes Prof Knoakes found that but says you only need the carbs during prolonged exercise. I think something like 10 g per hour Have a listen very interesting

Carnivore for 3 years in a research study on clean eating and exercise in cancer recovery. I have close to 13 million metres logged rowing in 4 years, 10 full and 15 half marathons and biomarkers/HRV and v02 max data that says otherwise for me. The fat is all great till it can’t get to your muscles fast enough to make em count.

There is no essential carbohydrate. Say it louder for the people in the back: You. Don’t. Need. Carbs. There’s no such thing as an “essential carb.” Your body doesn’t require bread, pasta, cereal, or sugar to function. Not one single metabolic process requires dietary carbohydrates. But you know what is essential? •Protein — for muscle, hormones, enzymes, immune function. •Fat — for brain health, hormone production, vitamin absorption, and more. Your body can make all the glucose it needs through a process called gluconeogenesis—converting protein and fat into glucose when necessary. It’s built-in backup fuel, not a mandate to pound Pop-Tarts. No one has ever died from carb deficiency. But people have died from essential fatty acid deficiency or protein malnutrition. So why is everyone still eating 300+ grams of carbs a day and thinking that’s “balanced”? Because the food industry needs you addicted. Because sugar makes you hungrier, sicker, and more dependent. Because processed carbs are cheap to make, easy to market, and incredibly profitable. They sell you “comfort food” that wrecks your metabolism… Then sell you medications to treat the damage it causes. It’s a beautiful little trap. Break it. Fuel your body with what it actually needs: Protein. Fat. Real nutrients. And watch your energy, cravings, and clarity go through the roof.

@Advocacy_tech @OneManCircus87 Don't think that's true. Read @ProfTimNoakes recent paper on exercise using fat for energy. There is also a podcast with @zoeharcombe

@OneManCircus87 That doesn’t work rowing day after day. That doesn’t work when one isn’t on a couch and trying to get faster on the long hauls. Your body might not ‘need’ those fast carbs but my pursuits require them for me to function at the level I need and not the level I will settle for.

@selectatreks @andrewnjiraini @Marion436842126 And of course we can see the huge reduction in CVD deaths since statins were introduced. There's bound to be research showing as statin use increased deaths decreased.

1/5 Statin Toxicity is alarming ! This paper (ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…) shows up to 72% of statin "side effects" are muscle-related -Myalgia to rhabdomyolysis. It also links statins to diabetes, liver, and kidney damage. I’d be worried if I were taking statins ! /2

@DrNadolsky And that's based on ....?

To sum up my recommendations for every single patient: 1. Resistance training 2-5x/week 2. A diet with many plants and lean protein (carbs and fat according to goals and preferences) 3. Aerobic training 2-5x/week 4. 7-8 hours of sleep per night 5. Walk and laugh a lot in between

@FitFounder Nonsense. Non essential

One of the biggest health problems no one's talking about is the fact that 95% of people don't get enough fiber. This harms your gut, increases appetite, and increases your chance of colon cancer and heart disease.

@HRH_Ted your view

@MohammedAlo @alexleaf @ProfTimNoakes Agree, but do we understand why some do and others do not ?

@alexleaf @ProfTimNoakes It's sad that otherwise smart people can't reconcile that not everyone gets lung cancer that smokes doesn't mean smoking doesn't cause cancer.

I can't reply to @ProfTimNoakes because I'm blocked, but his comment here makes some fundamental errors about causality and ApoB that are worth addressing. Not everyone who smokes gets lung cancer. Does that mean smoking doesn't cause lung cancer? Of course not. But this same flawed logic is often being used to dismiss the causal role of ApoB in atherosclerosis. Noakes claimed that if high ApoB were really the cause of plaque buildup, then everyone with high ApoB would develop plaque, and lowering it would always reverse it. That’s not how causality works in biology or medicine. Causes here are probabilistic, not deterministic. Smoking causes cancer. High blood pressure causes stroke. High ApoB causes atherosclerosis. Not in 100% of people, but in a predictable, dose-dependent, and mechanistically consistent way. There’s also a claim that because some people on a low-carb diet with high ApoB don’t progress rapidly, the diet or ApoB can’t be the cause. That’s like saying: “If all smokers smoke, but only some get lung cancer, smoking isn’t the cause.” The diet may not be directly causing plaque, but it’s causing a skyrocketing in ApoB in some individuals, like lean mass hyper-responders. When we talk about causes in medicine, we’re not saying “every person exposed to X will develop Y.” We’re saying exposure to X raises the risk of Y in a reproducible, biological way. That’s exactly what ApoB does with atherosclerosis. Let’s stop pretending individual variation invalidates biology.

@Robert52117917 @Ryanair Landed 11 am. Santander 16.50. Almost 7 hours.

@Ray59325969 @Ryanair They made you get a bus instead of flying you there later?? I'm flying to Santander tomorrow 😅

@Ryanair flight to Santander diverted to Santiago. 1 hour wait for a bus then 5 hour journey. Bilbao airport open and 1 hour from Santander. Why not land at Bilbao ?

@RealUnsweetDee @christianprice @AlpacaAurelius Wrong. Most of your cholesterol does not come directly from food.

@christianprice @AlpacaAurelius What are you talking about? This is exactly how you get your cholesterol…

You know you can just eat meat, organs and fruit and get incredibly healthy right? Health is simple.

@BilltheCatGuy1 @AlpacaAurelius Why vegetables ?

@AlpacaAurelius What about vegetables? Ever hear of a balanced diet?

@AlpacaAurelius Why fruit ?

@DrNeilStone @DrNeilStone Neil give me your assessment of Vioxx and how many died

When RFK Jr claims (falsely) that vaccines cause autism He doesn't care about autism or its cause He just wants to knock vaccines

As someone who has been a lifelong old school liberal and left of centre, it’s pretty obvious that Keir Starmer and the Labour government are not on my wavelength. Instead, they are authoritarian, hypocritical and using sanctimonious fake virtue to try and mask some pretty appalling optics even within their first 8 months of being in government. The removal of winter fuel allowance for millions of pensioners and cutting welfare for the disabled are huge symbolisms of this. No previous Labour government would have ever have considered punishing pensioners and the disabled like this. So while Starmer repeatedly wangs on about “fixing the foundations” of the economy, how is it economically fair and indeed morally viable to cut £1.6bn by abolishing the winter fuel allowance for millions of pensioners, save £5bn by punishing the disabled and yet spaff £22bn on carbon capture machine or spend £3bn a year to Ukraine for “as long as it takes”? This Labour government has already shown itself to be completely devoid of vision and empathy towards the mood of the British people. The country is rotting (largely due to the 14 years of appalling neglect and nefarious policies from the Tory government). The new Labour government had a chance to create a national conversation with the people and really listen and act accordingly to their many valid concerns. Tragically, they didn’t. Instead, they have indulged in the politics of punishment, austerity and misery and communicated by a po-faced Prime Minister who comes across as a modern day equivalent to the pompous, authoritarian Malvolio from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. The Labour government is already drowning in backdated hypocrisy of broken promises and bare-faced duplicity combined with an angry divide and rule self-righteousness that only loses friends and alienates voters. And that’s why they are plummeting in the approval polls. Keir Starmer is hammering pensioners, farmers and the disabled, while he is trousering north of £750,000 in donations and £100,000 in freebies. It’s disgusting and deeply hypocritical. He promised to clean up the mess in politics and be a Prime Minister with integrity, yet he’s claiming grotesque amounts of freebies, and in that dreadful po-faced manner of his, savagely cutting the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners, removing the welfare safety net from the disabled and putting the future of farmers at risk whilst repeatedly sanctimoniously lecturing to the public like we are all naughty schoolchildren. Labour has tragically abandoned its “for the working people” traditions. “The Labour Party” in name has become an oxymoron. It is no longer committed to its original mission of improving living conditions and the opportunities of working people in Britain, standing against greedy corporations and the military-industrial complex, whilst protecting freedom of speech. Instead, it is the exact opposite - it’s in thrall to greedy corporatism. The over inflated payments to net zero based (largely overseas) corporations is a prime example of this. To bookend where I began this post, as I often say, I haven’t left the left, but sadly this Labour government have left me. They aren’t anywhere near the values of the liberal left that used to serve Labour and their core voters well. John Smith (former Labour Party Leader) once said, “People in Britain today are angry: not just disappointed, not just disillusioned, but angry. They are angry at the state of Britain; angry at the total absence of leadership; angry at the absence of vision; angry at the hypocrisy and double standards; and they are angry at the incessant incompetence of a Government they no longer respect and increasingly despise.” And tragically, his words of wisdom (aimed back then against the Tory government) could equally apply to Keir Starmer’s government of today.

@chris_sutton73 thought you and Scott Arfield worked very well today. Looking forward now to 606. You were a very good player and now a very good broadcaster and I'm a Rangers fan.

@AlpacaAurelius Carbs in the morning. Oh dear !!!!

@drgarymcgowan Have a look at @KenSikaris video "Analysing The cholesterol message" you might learn something!!!!

To be disgraced by Bart Kay is a compliment.

@_callumstone Please start a women's football subscription channel to generate revenue for the game. Give me your business plan to justify investment.

Alan Brazil showing himself to be dinosaur he truly is and TalkSport openly allowing this to be his behaviour. The man has a grand daughter and that’s his opinion on the women’s game. Football is for everyone. Not just men. Shame on him.

@zoeharcombe But the cult won't see it. It will be because we didn't build more windmills and solar. Or battery storage .....

The sooner the UK experiences black outs the better. People need to wake up to the fact that a once energy secure country is in peril.
