Excellent overview of our Lancet Series on UPFs and human health by Rob Percival. Rob is one of the non-UPF creators who has best captured Nova and the UPF concept.
The new Lancet series on UPF is just great. Especially in its articulation of the core Nova hypothesis, which critics often seem to misunderstand. This is what they're missing... 🧵 https://t.co/3lF3Ks9NMW

“What every doctor was taught in medical school about type 2 diabetes is WRONG… total, complete trash.” That’s not a random influencer. That’s Dr. Robert Lustig — UCSF professor emeritus, 40+ years studying sugar & metabolic disease — going nuclear: “The idea that type 2

Some people make noise on the internet for the sake of noise. But @soren_iverson knows how to make it mean something. This is how the Weird Al of tech turned his absurdity into a world-class design agency. Full episode on YouTube.

I love this book. In my early low carb days I was rather alone and a bit nervous In this book I felt I had a friend. His chicken coronary atheroma weighing experiment was great science !!
Wolfgang Lutz was one of the forgotten pioneers of low-carb nutrition. He was preaching Paleolithic nutrition decades before it had a name. While the Dietary Guidelines pushed low-fat, high-carb eating, Lutz argued the real problem was agricultural carbohydrates: foods humans

"Red meat will give you colon cancer." Actual mechanism proposed: Heme iron creates reactive compounds when cooked at high heat. What they don't tell you: This only happens when cooked in seed oils at extreme temperatures. Meat cooked in butter or tallow doesn't show this

Food addiction described perfectly in 1888! Reckless feeders-that was me!
On treating T2 diabetes with a low carb diet Dr James Henry Salisbury, 1888 in his amazing book The relation of alimentation and disease. Is this the earliest description of food addiction impacting on health? @drjenunwin Do you have ‘morbid longings for fermentable foods’?

Good advice for Christmas also!
Happy Thanksgiving!! Don't let this holiday derail your progress. A little strategy makes the whole day easier. 1. Fill up on meat and eggs before you go. Eat a plate of meat and eggs at home so you arrive barely hungry. This one step prevents most bad decisions. 2. Lead with

The Best GLP-1 Agonist Is Already Inside You Everyone is arguing about Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy… But nobody’s talking about the real GLP-1 agonist that’s been inside your body since birth It’s not a drug It’s not patented It’s not $1,000/month It’s yours Let me explain…🧵

Why ketosis specifically helps mental health and alleviates depression and anxiety: Ketones (beta-hydroxybutyrate) are: - More efficient fuel than glucose (28% more ATP per oxygen molecule) - Able to bypass damaged mitochondrial pathways - Anti-inflammatory in the brain -

In June this year @UNICEF_UK handed in a petition to Downing St, calling on the government to scrap the two child limit. 100,000 of us signed this - and today it happened! This will lift 350,000 children out of poverty. It’s worth reflecting that the UK saw the largest increase

Ozempic won’t fix the problem America actually has: We’re overfed, protein deficient, under-muscled, inflamed, stressed & insulin resistant Weight loss isn’t the same as health A smaller sick body is still a sick body Fix metabolism, not just the scale #ozempic #weightloss
