I love these kinds of arguments. If we think the marketing isn’t working then we’re not important enough to matter, but then also the fact that we’re talking about it matters and shows that it’s working.
"Food" listed in there is not food at all. Thats some cheap filler that isn't really affected by inflation that much because of its just cheap garbage subsided by govt.
Look at the junk in this section for exampe
> Cereals and bakery products
And ofcourse all the items in fruits and vegetables had the highest inflation.
>And ofcourse all the items in fruits and vegetables had the highest inflation.
A simple check shows this is false. The "Cereals and bakery products" category went up by 28.6% since January 2020, compared to 17.9% for "Fruits and Vegetables". You get similar conclusions if you use compare against January 2005.
for me the best way is to not worry about sleep at all. After many decades of abusive relationship with sleep. I've had enough. If it comes it comes, if not then thats ok too.
I stop reading this 8 hr nonsense or fearing an early death from not sleeping. whatever.
> they have a unique feedback mechanism that suppresses endogenous cholesterol synthesis that most of us don’t have.
What unique feedback mechanism is this and how can i find out if i have this too ?
circular reasoning "what makes them different is that they are shown to be different"
> they manage to escape heart attacks because their vessels are larger than average. Wow. I don’t know what to make of the Masai, except that they are indeed a unique people.
Maybe they are not "unique people" and there are other non-genetic reasons their blood vessels are larger.
I call BS on this so called review because author didn't bother to explain his points.
If you have a cholesterol synthesis feedback mechanism then as you increased your consumption of foods that are known to increase LDL-c (butter, lard, tallow) then your LDL-c would not rise or would only rise by a smaller amount than would be predicted by the Keys equation.
So you could get your LDL-c checked, up your butter consumption and then get a retest and compare the results to the expected value.
only genetics influence those markers? I thought even stress causes increase in cholestrol levels. How is this person so sure that Masai have some sort of special genetics when there are so many other factors.
It’s literally in the reference given. Just read it yourself and all will be revealed:
Biss, K., Ho, K.-J., Mikkelson, B., Lewis, L. & Taylor, C. B. Some Unique Biologic Characteristics of the Masai of East Africa. N. Engl. J. Med. 284, 694–699 (1971).
"The high ratios of phospholipid to cholesterol and bile acid to cholesterol in their gallbladder bile explain the extreme rarity of cholesterol gallstones. All these characteristics may reflect a long-term biologic adaptation of the tribe."
This is just an hypothesis that says they "may" have adaption? Not sure how that translates to definitive "they have a unique feedback mechanism "
Ok, so you have an issue with the certainty that Yoder used in his discussion of that particular issue. Does expressing certainty when the author of the referenced study uses less certain terms make something a joke?
If so, I have some wonderful things to show you from Teicholz that will have you rolling on the floor with laughter compared to Yoder’s stuff.
In what way was the certainty used to refute the findings? The point Yoder was making was that Teicholz made an inference that was incompatible with the study used to support it.
Not sure what makes this 'successful
