Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on Earth, to be young at heart?

I swing arms and twist, etc, every day. It just feels so good. I've listened to Dr Stephen Sinatra off and on for a number of years. He was one who helped me understand how great cholesterol is, and high cholesterol especially, is quite healthy. What is most UNhealthy is people taking cholesterol lowering drugs. Just another bigmed scam. He has presentations where he goes into the detail med data, but here it is in a 30 second sound bite: He also has vids/articles about scientifically proven heart health benefit by the practice of Earthing or Grounding. Good stuff. I like him. Shuffle dancing & mopping the floor seems to work as well or as better. Twinkie diet too. Ur body makes more cholesterol then u can ever eat. Triglycerides are a better indicator of heart disease. |

Passed away from cancer, a forum mentioned he was also pre-diabetic a couple of years ago. |

Thanks for sharing brothersteve. I think a similar analysis could be done with probably any other activity. For example, compare two groups of people. Those who can only do 10 bodyweight squats and those who can do 40 or more bodyweight squats. Or, those who can only walk for 10 minutes compared to those who can walk for 40 minutes. Make it more interesting and toss in burpees. Those who can do 10 burpees in a single set effort compared to those who can do 40 burpees non-stop. Yep. And VO2 max appears to be the actual best indicator of physical fitness as applied ot health and longevity. The longest lived athletes still proves to be lean aerobic athletes with low bodymass. Ori Hofmekler, who has some kind of background in biology (?), states something similar in one of his last papers on health and longevity. |

Yeah, Vince Gironda is dead from cardiac arrest or disobeying his doctor or whatever, but that doesn't mean he didn't have any good advice. Not interested in arguing with you for the sake of your entertainment. |

Will also mention going back 15 - 20 years, recognition of cancer as a metabolic disease started gaining credibiity. Strong correlation. High levels of cholesterol are also associated with cancer: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6405981/#:~:text=Hypercholesterolemia%20and%20cancer,the%20risk%20of%20breast%20cancer. So, we create Insulin Resistance via a diet high in Saturated Fats (and processed foods). Yet people say Oh, eat saturated fats despite the fact our ancestral diet was comprsied of small amounts of lean animal protein. Lean animal protein also means lower in choleserol. But, we pretend domesticated sedentary animals high in SFAs and cholesterol reflect the protein of our ancestal diet. |

Not interested in arguing with you for the sake of your entertainment. Mikey - There's no "arguing". Since most of your facts or claims have been wrong, it is essentially me repeating basically the same thing over & over for you along with Denis. Well not quite...I've added an additional reference here or there. Actually, I've said before when you were making all of your claims about the health benefits of lard of which there were practically none, if you don't want to reply feel free not to. Nobody's forcing you. I've never found bad or incorrect information "entertaining". |

Is pre-diabetic really a thing? To me your either diabetic or your not. |

"You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time", TR, even though you repeat it like CNN.
It seems, perhaps, that you missed my couple posts on the lard I eat and you've forgotten that I became wiser about lard consumption over time. I went a bit crazy on it on the old forum, but I've adjusted .... anyway .....
The lard in your studies is not the lard I eat.
It comes from my friends' organic farm and the hogs are fed organic garden scraps, gorging themselves on pumpkins the day I met them, which transforms their flavor into somewhat of a delicacy, m8!. I mean it is amazing! I can't even stand the stink of that crap that comes from the store, the stuff that they used in your studies.
I bought all that my friends had, so I'm somewhat stingy with it - which is why I added the coconut oil and EOO to my menu fare .... even fish oil to salad occasionally.
EDIT: O! O! I must add this!
Morel mushrooms washed, sliced and fried (NO breading!) in my lard is orgasmic indeed! Tastes like gold to me. Like rich birthday cake frosting, gives me goosebumps with every bite.

I am not dogmatic by any means & I’m old enough to learn in life there’s always someone else who is wiser, smarter, savvier & sexier than me. They are outside of my control. Therefore, I improve upon me which is within my control. I am a work in progress still as is my learning curve. As someone who has suffered some life threatening injuries I believe I’m wise enough to evaluate items with judicious discernment tempered with healthy skepticism. I usually look to historical examples for grounded context: ⁃ James Fixx practically authored the running craze of the late 1970’s. He famously stated his level of intense physical training for marathons made him “heart attack proof” which some cardiologists publicly agreed upon. He famously chowed down at McD’s & carb loaded. He died of a heart attack while on a morning run. ⁃ Bill Sardi was a well known lay science writer of cutting edge stuff with unique perspectives which I devoured with alacrity. He died recently of a coronary at 75. I did a double take on that. ⁃ Jerome Irving Rodale was the founder of the Rodale Institute formerly known as the Soil Health Foundation. He was instrumental in popularizing the term "organic" for growing food without pesticides in 1947. He famously wrote tomes on health & organic farming. He was also a big critic of industrial agriculture. He died on set during a taping of the Dick Cavett show of a heart attack at age 72. ⁃ Franco Columbo needs no introduction. Most know his background & he was a licensed chiropractor. He died at 80 of a heart attack along the coast of Sardinia while swimming. Franco Columbu's diet was high in fat, adequate in protein, and low in carbohydrates.(1,2) Cites: [1] www.drworkout.fitness/franco-columbu-diet-plan/[2] slowburnpersonaltraining.com/blog/franco-columbus-diet/===================== The following example is one that totally contradicts about what I know & what I think I know about diet. But I’m not going on any paleo diet yet! Ötzi the Iceman (1a) had severe atherosclerosis most likely from a meat based diet He was close to having a heart attack or stroke when he was forensically examined. So much for the Carnivore diet? Okinawans (OKI) have a higher level of cholesterol, but a lower incidence of heart attack and stroke compared to other populations. The reasons are not entirely clear, but some studies suggest that their unique diet which includes a higher intake of VEGETABLES and FRUITS may play a role[1][4]. Oki vegetables contain large amounts of folate and fiber, which are inversely associated with higher homocysteine concentration, a potential risk factor for coronary heart disease and stroke[1]. Oki vegetables contain several functional substances that have been indicated to affect health in the molecular level[1]. A study conducted in Okinawa found that serum cholesterol is an independent predictor of acute myocardial infarction in the population[2][3]. However, the relationship between cholesterol levels and heart disease risk is complex, and other factors such as inflammation, blood pressure, and lifestyle habits also play a role[5]. Cites: [1a] www.livescience.com/62689-otzi-iceman-mummy-heart-disease.html[1] www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6908839/[2] www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jcj/62/1/62_1_7/_pdf[3] pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9559412/[4] apjcn.nhri.org.tw/server/apjcn/10/2/165.pdf[5] www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/circulationaha.107.750117======================= I follow the lectures of Dr Fred Brewer who is thankfully not on any QuackWatch postings or negative reviews. I also believe in the philosophy & examples of Roger Haeske. He espouses an emphasis on a plant/fruit based diet. Cites: Dr Brewer m.youtube.com/@prevmedhealthHaeske ========================== Occasionally, I find nuggets of info from sources that I cherry pick & don’t necessarily agree with in total. One such example is the cholesterol sulfate article I posted from Weston Price. I think teeth, bones & skin are excellent indicators of what’s going on inside but it’s not failsafe either. Bruce Lee looked pretty damn fit yet he still died at 32. It’s now come to light that this paragon of manly ruggedness was doing magic mushrooms, cocaine, LSD, and cannabis. How much he imbibed in is anybody’s guess but the brain fucking menu indicates he had the poo-poo platter. He died of brain edema. Smart chap. Anyways, what I liked about the Weston Price article was the author & the connection to sunlight & the relationship of Glycosaminoglycans with Cholesterol Sulfate which struck a chord with me. My read on it is the author discussed that substance as a tertiary or secondary factor. I never saw any dismissal of the nomen clature of a heart attack. It’s called a “contributing factor” but not the prime cause. I eat lots of low glycemic fruit & vegetables. Especially cruciferous ones like broccoli smothered in applesauce. I augment my diet with glucosamine & chondroitin sulfates because they dampen chronic low grade inflammation. What convinced me was a cohort study done by American NIH from a large sampling indicating a 39% decrease in overall mortality with their supplementation. I do ADF which I do as life insurance but I don’t do a Twinkie Diet or shovel anything down my piehole despite what Longo or Krista Varady says about eating whatever I want. U still get a bad response from foods if u eat poorly which are going to lay plaque on the arteries regardless. No different if I decide to take a little therapeutic strychnine one day out of week. There are still consequences. |
