Easting less rat chow produced less Lab Rat Chow Induced Disease, thereby prolonging life. I've seen discussion of these issues elsewhere on this blog.<BR/><BR/>Any similarity in humans would be for similar reasons: IF combined with the standard Western diet might prolong life, too. Better yet would be a non-Western diet.<BR/><BR/>I'd say the rat experiments were completely wrong in their assessment of the cause of death of lab rats.Andrew Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01880359703608033815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-41981149550115537292008-08-12T22:25:00.000+00:002008-08-12T22:25:00.000+00:00We all know what?

Beef is usually fattier and definitely healthier in terms of fat proportions. I haven't seen you mention much pork in your diet. Most of your fats seem to be from cream, beef, and cocoa butter. So it's odd to see a suggestion to eat 150g of lard, when that doesn't seem to be what you eat regularly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-38550366475517167002008-08-12T20:14:00.000+00:002008-08-12T20:14:00.000+00:00Phew, at least we all know now!Phew, at least we all know now!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527788116058656094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-86388010122619617062008-08-12T19:52:00.000+00:002008-08-12T19:52:00.000+00:00Why did you suggest 150g of lard on Davis's blog, ...Why did you suggest 150g of lard on Davis's blog, Peter? Lard is NOT a saturated fat - contrary to popular misconception. Lard is usually 48% MUFA, 40% SFA, and 12% PUFA. It has 4-6 times as much PUFA as beef fat, kidney suet, and butter. So, 150g of lard has 18g of PUFA and 150g of beef suet or ghee would have 3-6g of PUFA. A fast is a no-PUFA diet, so the goal should be zero PUFAs or as close to that as possible. Lard doesn't cut it and should be eaten in small doses, if at all. The main fats should be from large ruminant animals and tropical oils. Today's pigs are fed an awful diet and have much more PUFAs than red meat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-89606846124028260602008-08-12T19:02:00.000+00:002008-08-12T19:02:00.000+00:00I think low-glycemic carbs are even worse, because...I think low-glycemic carbs are even worse, because they are high-fiber. 85% chocolate is low-glycemic carb, but I feel better without it. I had problems with fiber all my life and never made the connection. Low-carb is not as important as NO-fiber, in my experience. We need to think out side the box. Let's say that fiber is the problem and not carbs. Take away whole fruits, veggies, potato, chocolate, beans, whole grains, and all nuts/seeds. Even white rice and peeled potatoes have too much fiber to be eaten in significant amounts. They make me tired. Sourdough white bread is better. It has no fiber at all and no additives.<BR/><BR/>I get organic sourdough white bread with only three ingredients - stone ground unbleached unenriched flour, filtered water, and sea salt. A low fiber diet is a good start, but NO fiber (0g listed) is best. I'm also using small amounts of raw unheated honey, grape juice, strained citrus juices, and maple syrup. Everything that contains fiber is gone. I also use a tea strainer on the juices if there is even a trace of fiber.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-79968474302081873732008-08-10T03:50:00.000+00:002008-08-10T03:50:00.000+00:00I've been trying the 16/8 approach to weight loss....I've been trying the 16/8 approach to weight loss. You fast for 16 hours and eat during an 8-hour period. So far I'm at 5 weeks and I've lost 7 pounds. My goal is to lose 20 pounds, so I have a ways to go yet. However, I'm beginning to think this may not be a bad way to continue eating, not just for the weight loss.Bryan - oz4casterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027990322659101002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-7485838039573499882008-08-08T01:28:00.000+00:002008-08-08T01:28:00.000+00:00I would not compare LC and Low GI on the basis of ...I would not compare LC and Low GI on the basis of AGEs alone.<BR/>With LC you have the advantage of journeying back and forth between catabolic and anabolic states with wide-ranging transcriptional possibilities. It's all about signaling and what the cells use to communicate. AGE could be one of them.JohnNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639308289155393659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-32217787992899316282008-08-06T11:35:00.000+00:002008-08-06T11:35:00.000+00:00Johnn,Yes, Alzheimers, Parkinsons and Motor Neuron...Johnn,<BR/><BR/>Yes, Alzheimers, Parkinsons and Motor Neurone diseases all appear to respond to ketosis. This is in part why I see LC as more powerful than higher carb, even if both use real foods right down the line.<BR/><BR/>Amyloid plaque I regard as debris from the primary problem. It always reminds me of living in London back in the seventies when any pillarbox on the Tottenham Court Rd could carry an IRA bomb. The shrapnel would maim you, so should be avoided, but the fundametal treatment for the problem was carried out by political negotiation in Westminster and Belfast. Just giving all shoppers full metal jackets was not the prefered choice!<BR/><BR/>I see Aaron's query in the same terms. How broken you are affects how LC you need to go. Interesting if both groups started healthy and only ate real food. Would LC beat low GI if neither group had or developed insulin resistance...<BR/><BR/>PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527788116058656094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-42328768210160586672008-08-06T02:03:00.000+00:002008-08-06T02:03:00.000+00:00Peter,Reading the comment on Dr Davis post, I'm st...Peter,<BR/>Reading the comment on Dr Davis post, I'm struck by the possibility of not just reversing IHD but also AD (Alzheimer's).
