There was once a trend to use intravenous fructose as a critical care caloric source. Here fructose intolerance = acute death. They don't do that nowadays!<br /><br />PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527788116058656094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-9902949702908765282009-07-14T21:33:18.552+00:002009-07-14T21:33:18.552+00:00Fructose is not completely absorbed by the gut, th...Fructose is not completely absorbed by the gut, the tolerance level differs between individuals. Some people cannot tolerate even the smallest amounts. Hydrogen breath tests can verify if you have fructose malabsorption. The free fructose passes into the lower bowel and causes havoc with fermenting bacteria - not pleasant! Although from your post it seems the fructose that is absorbed is the problem ... anyway, my focus is more on digestion - but I thought I would add my twopenny as I just found your blog, which I think is great :) Nice work. Living the high fat way for my digestive health - and I couldn't be healthier.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978476689259600746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-87135589828398985802009-03-09T21:37:00.000+00:002009-03-09T21:37:00.000+00:00Hi Phillip,Yes, Eddie Vos is still very pro canola...Hi Phillip,<BR/><BR/>Yes, Eddie Vos is still very pro canola, as far as I can see largely based on the Lyon study. But he also can see nothing wrong with fruit, so we must all have our own perspective. Personally I can no more see where we would have obtained linseed oil (before the advent of varnish) than we could have obtained an ad lib supply of Golden Delicious and 6" diameter oranges as HGs. <BR/><BR/>But if you are going to eat a "healthy diet" based around fruit and starches, using ALA as a pharmaceutical anti arrhythmic is a lot better than dying of VF in the aftermath of a minor coronary brought on by fructose...<BR/><BR/>I tried to help Melchior Meijer get some of the THINCS discussions up on to Uffe's website, but the process is time consuming and neither he nor I made any progress (this was before Christmas!) and my free time is just about to disappear completely from what I can see. He's in no better a situation, time wise. The process is labour intensive and the threads never begin and end neatly. The cardiological concept of the blocked pipe is currently a very long and on going thread and anyone who imagines an explanation this simple fits the facts is going to be very disappointed. Currently I have no idea of what process actually causes a heart attack! I think hyperglycaemia is central but that in no way is enough.... <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I should be getting plans ready for Building Regulations approval on the new bathroom and loo. Just a few more replies...<BR/><BR/>BTW, steady 9 eggs per day at the moment. Great eggs. Three each per day with a top up to 6-9 each using Sainsburys economy free rangers.

I was curious about his support of canola oil. He cited the work of Stephan Cunnane who argues that ALA is the only “truly” essential fatty acid.<BR/><BR/>From a human nutrition standpoint I had always thought that ALA was just a precursor to EPA and maybe a little bit of DHA. As a result, I take Blue Ice High Vitamin Cod Liver Oil and Krill oil for my EPA and DHA and avoid the ALA oils like canola, soy bean and flax. I could never establish if there is a clear need for ALA itself - Eddie seemed to think that there was.<BR/><BR/>I think there are also some politics involved here as canola oil represents a cheap and readily available source of Omega 3 and several studies have shown a health benefit from adding canola oil. Governments are far more likely to push canola oil over fish oil.<BR/><BR/>I miss the days when the Thincs discussions were published on the Thincs site. How come they stopped doing that?<BR/><BR/>Philip ThackrayThackrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05733462601434748276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-48610038520591000312009-03-08T20:18:00.000+00:002009-03-08T20:18:00.000+00:00Direct links to the Vit D videos mentioned earlier...Direct links to the Vit D videos mentioned earlier<BR/><A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=grassrootshealth+uctelevision&aq=f" REL="nofollow">Vitamin D videos from Grassrootshealth</A><BR/><BR/>May I suggest the Holick lecture,Vitamin D and Prevention of Chronic Diseases, may not be to everyone's taste.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.grassrootshealth.org/documentation/index.php" REL="nofollow">Grassrootshealthdocumentation</A><BR/>These pdf's have the slides used in the above presentations.

Those aint. Red and yellow bell peppers. WTF? Arm and leg. And yes, be careful in the meat aisle, kobe beef, fancy hams from spain and italy---out of the question. good ole grain fed walmart beef will suffice. Unless you have a super sensitive pallete the trace amounts of feces in the ground stuff should not be problematic. think hormesis. Let me warn state side readers: fancy steaks purchased through the mail----garbage! Not really. They taste fine but the cost is not justified. If you get the catalog in the mail, chuck it immediately. No temptation. Why do we fall prey to thinking if it costs a lot it must good? I'll bet I could piss in a tinted bottle, slap on an elegantly scripted label--"Urinilini de Luigi" and find somebody who drives a mercedes to drink it, say it was divine and refreshing, and desperately ask where they can get it.

I'm a fairly secure vit D taker and, as you point out, there are people for whom its promotion is a major aspect of their route to health. I'm currently overdosed and have backed off, so I'm quite willing to let others make their own decisions. The links are welcome but the main mpg I want to listen to at the moment is the interview with the GP (Dr Dahlqvist) at the centre of the current diabetes revolution in Sweden, available on Jimmy Moore's site, and that's been waiting for weeks to be listened to...<BR/><BR/>PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527788116058656094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-32405667742870166092009-03-07T21:28:00.000+00:002009-03-07T21:28:00.000+00:00Hi Captain Mikee,I noticed he didn't give the chem...Hi Captain Mikee,<BR/><BR/>I noticed he didn't give the chemical formulae of these two distinct chemicals.
