The new series at Fire In A Bottle has begun!! This is my attempt at tying together the threads. PUFA, oxygen, the Cambrian explosion, antioxidants. Copepods. Starting in my back yard. fireinabottle.net/the-whistle-pi…

@exfatloss Right. Could be some clues there. I wonder what happens if you fill out the contact form? Probably nothing.

@KetoCarnivore @exfatloss @TuckerGoodrich @sudas1891 @Leo_Abstract @MeTheAngryCat @603_4me @siobhan_huggins I should have said: clofibrate is a pharmaceutical that activates D6D. I really should have responded to this post instead:

@sudas1891 @TuckerGoodrich @exfatloss @Leo_Abstract @MeTheAngryCat @603_4me @siobhan_huggins @fire_bottle Well, Volek and Phinney did report lower D6D in KD mice, despite membrane levels of HUFAs increasing in them (and in KD humans). OTOH PPAR-α (a signature of KD) increases D6D, and KD increases blood levels of DHA and ARA. (Slide from my RDA talk)

@KetoCarnivore @caloriesproper2 Not that I’m trying to suggest that CICO is important or real. I actually don’t think it’s relevant. I believe that resistance to electron flow determines everything.

Ballsy, I guess. I'm sure clinical experience does bring home what works and what doesn't in the practical world. MDs may have more exposure to falsification of theories. But it's not a full protection. One of his talks that I've seen goes through a set of head-smacking ways his patients have misunderstood how to do a low carb diet, unwittingly sabotaging themselves. This probably contributes to (or reflects) a belief that a large part of the problem is compliance and people "not doing it right". And it's a real problem, no doubt. But by the same token, knowing that can and does happen masks data that might reveal important exceptions to preferred theories. The guys who insist that caloric restriction must lead to fat loss will always interpret failures as lying or miscalculation and therefore cannot ever have their ideas falsified.

I've seen Eric Westman talk a few times He says, unsarcastically, that PhD scientists are incapable of studying obesity and that should be left to "real" doctors like himself (MDs) He says this at diabetes conferences where the majority of attendees are PhD obesity researchers

@KetoCarnivore @caloriesproper2 I doubt that clinical experience really brings home the issues. Like: clinician told me to eat this meal plan. I got super hungry and binged on ice cream. Did I report the binge to the clinician?

Whoah!! Bobcat caught on camera mid-day in the open. This is my family’s place, my nephew installed these cams. Pretty cool, we caught a bobcat in the open in the daylight with what appears to be a squirrel in mouth. This is North Country, New York.

@exfatloss I’d be curious what you thought of this Brad guys schema for modeling what happened in the lab. How we represent what happened and how we assign meaning while still keeping it simple.

I think you’re on to something here, Ash! It’s time that food testing left the world of corporate customers and became more accessible to consumers. Both from a convenience and cost standpoint but also from a “how to interpret this data” standpoint.
Farmer Ash (from the Strong Sistas)@strong_sistas

I am excited to learn about an independent third party food testing lab @test_your_food, launching soon. They won’t just test food, they will interpret and properly assess the data to help us all better understand what those results actually mean in the context of metabolic health. Food testing is certainly very important! It helps us better understand what we are buying and how food actually impacts our health, especially within the modern food system that has undergone some big shifts in production methods, and ultimately in the food we consume.
