A brutal (but necessary) blackpill is that Americans over 50 do not distinguish quality except by physical characteristics of the final product. Carrageenan over egg yolks in ice cream happened because of apathy. Consequently, every old-timey styled business is actually slop...
Renting inevitably leads to a kind of nihilism. Can't do home improvement because you can't drill holes, or don't even have space for the tools, or are going to move out in a year anyway. Permanence is belief in the future. Luke Smith speaks of this
Quick thread on a scam in dentistry.
When I was a kid, my parents would take me in for routine check ups. I noticed that while "cleaning" (harshly scraping the teeth, another whole story), he would firmly press into a tooth with a hook-shaped utensil.
In his new video, Thomas DeLauer discusses why he quit doing keto. He now eats honey, fruits and root vegetables. He talks about how carbphobia negatively impacted his workouts and how processed keto snacks are loaded with seed oils. He cites Saladino about cortisol:DHEA ratios.
People think it's such dunk to say Peat was missing teeth (which you can clearly see in the video is only a few) when
1. It happened because he was poor
2. It lead to one of his most important nutritional discoveries, the calcium to phosphate ratio
I don’t give a damn what Ray Peat said about cavities when the dude had 7 teeth in his mouth.
Inb4 “he was 80 in that video!” Plenty of senior citizens with full and healthy dentition (they didn’t do it proudly drinking half a case of coke per day in the name of health)
Wait so better reaction times are correlated to higher IQ??
How much of being smart is just your neurons firing faster?
Can we just overclock this meat CPU?
After reading redditors' accounts of DNP use, I've come to believe many "dangerous" substances would be perfectly safe gated behind an IQ test and a 90 minute ecourse on titration
The reason Ray Peat didn't get popular until he was nearly dead is he talked about dozens of small, cumulative insults on health. It wasn't until the environment was so bad that most 20 y/o's had chronic diseases that people started "needing" him
If there's one message I could get across to the gymcel population of Twitter it's this: animals don't work out. Think of any strong animal. They are that way because it is their fully-differentiated state.
I should clarify that, despite it being over 80 years since Nutrition and Physical Degeneration was published, denistry does not recognize the natural reversibility of caries. If you assume they are progressive and irreversible, this practice is just "catching it early."
Danny felt a deep personal connection to Ray and is compelled to protect his human legacy

Typical dog acquisition stories:

In retrospect, my dentist, while apparently looking for cavities, was actually creating holes in my teeth by collapsing the weakened dentin. The only "cavity" was in his wallet, it seems.
It's my goal to never hold it against someone what they do in a low-energy state. Like a scared, sick animal, treating them with anything but perfect sanguine compassion is counterproductive.
even and especially when it's run by a guy that could be a Mall Santa. Dainty bakery uses fortified flour and "heavy whipping cream." Candy shop with propylene glycol fudge. Cheesemakers who don't know what rennet is. Bob's Red Mill xanthan gum. Etc.
Hair regrowth is the final frontier for mainstreaming bioenergetics, not because it holds some special metaphysical interest, but because it doesn't. Normies are vain. Carrot salad appeals to girls because it makes them less bloated, but men can look good with standard gymbroism.
I disagree with Ray Peat on white sugar.
Unlike milk, fruit, and juice, it can raise blood sugar without coming with a bunch of water. Better for getting glucose up in the morning or before bed, and better for magnesium retention.
Btw the most basic way to protect yourself from the anti-metabolic effects of protein is pairing meat with starch. Insulin encourages the aminos to be used for anabolism.
Not sure why nobody talks about this when it's so intuitive. Bodybuilders have known it for years
Humanity collectively decided that caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol are a minimal set of acceptably dangerous but sufficiently powerful anti-stress substances
Probably one of the wisest aspects of our society
If I could feel it snag on the tooth, he'd later say there's a cavity there, and I'd need it filled.
Later, I heard that Weston A Price could totally reverse "dental caries" with vitamin K2. A caries seemed to be another name for a cavity.
Estrogen seems to create "unlosable fat" by forming a layer of cross-linked mucopolysaccharides, resistant to hyaluronidase, effectively cutting off adipocytes from circulation. Dissolving this layer with eugenol immediately pushes one towards the diabetic body composition.
Adipocytes release free fatty acids during stress, myocytes soak them up and burn them. A good body composition limits the damage of stress in this way.
The name "cavity" implies there's a hole in the tooth that needs to be filled. In fact, there's only a hole in very advanced tooth decay. For most of the existence of a carie, the tooth is intact, and it can be reversed by killing the bacteria and remineralizing the dentin.
Peating made me realize the futility of gymratism. It's a high-stress lifestyle; your physique is propped up by growth signals, and you WILL go catabolize those gains the instant you slack on training
Gym culture is a group psyop so people keep at their unpaid part-time job
The vitamin A stuff sounds like a story you'd read about an obscure academic circle. "Ray Peat scholars were divided over the healthfulness of vitamin A, with the pro-A group fracturing off in early 2024"
People are worried Peating will give them diabetes or something, but the real danger is getting a taste of euphoric clarity and spending years chasing it; edenic eldritch horror

Warburg effect: cancer cells produce lactate because they can't fully utilize glucose
Fructose: accelerates glucose utilization
The most basic understanding of these topics reveals the idiocy of these "studies" (dozens of the like come out every year)
As a reminder, Peat said a slow metabolism is protective against nutrient deficiencies. So if you know somebody isn't gonna fix their diet, don't suggest they take thyroid
SKINNY FAT INDIANS
I posted this on IG and TikTok a few weeks ago
It’s gone viral over and over (8 million+ views) and there’s 10,000 Indians arguing about why daal is a great protein source (it’s not)
As you watch the carnivore influencer to sugar-appreciation pipeline pick up pace, consider the story of the prodigal son, and watch how your Peat mutuals respond
In the "pound of sugar a day" study, men gained 0.2kg of fat on both a healthy diet and the sugar intervention. But the sugar made them gain 1.3kg of lean mass, while the "healthy" diet made them lose 0.3kg.
My city apparently does not have the Ashkenazi population to support carrying fringe kosher products. However, in searching for them, I found real sugar Pepsi at half off. Shalom!

Yes, did that last night. Just let it sit in the cold milk for like a minute to make sure it absorbs.
Also add it slowly, dumping 30g of gelatin straight into the milk will probably lead to un-hydrated parts and this clumping

Yesterdays test results. I think this is pretty good although I haven’t found a lot to compare it to. I am the internal control as I manipulate things.
The right hand column is body temp.
By the time you're rid of all your infertility-causing clothing, you've mastered identifying different fibers, and get to live with the knowledge that 95% of pillows, couches, carpets, snuggly baby blankets, and doggie beds are also made of plastic
From the Diamant thread. I've similarly noticed that pro-metabolic substances alters my vision—both how well the eyes focus on the distance, and how I process peripheral objects, especially while walking. I think visual processing is a good indicator for general brain function.
I looked up saunas in my area, I can pay like $50 per session at a spa, or pay the same amount for an unlimited access year-long membership, but it's at a gay club. Hmmmm
Practically all threads are synthetic. They are not required to be disclosed

Morbidly curious with this trend
I think mitigating the metabolic drawbacks of red meat is a far superior approach to avoiding it and trying to make up the micronutrient differences with liver and oysters
Lack of exercise is MAYBE 5% of the problem with a sedentary lifestyle. Mostly it's lymph stagnation and the problems of being indoors (light, air quality, boring/ugly environment)
Humans are no different. Boys are slender but continue to grow muscles in their twenties and early thirties without intentional training, just normal usage in a physical world.
Hot chocolate is an easy, cheap way to get copper (not from liver) and gelatin
2 cups milk in quart mason jar
microwave 2.5–3 minutes
30 grams cocoa powder
40 grams sugar
mix with milk frother
1 scoop gelatin
froth again
drink with metal straw
If your kids want chocolate milk, give them sucralose, carageenan, soy lecithin, bean gum blend. Give them colorectal cancer. They won't know the difference.
If your kids want chocolate milk just give them milk with a scoop of chocolate whey protein. They won't know the difference and will get an extra 20-30 g of protein which will help them grow strong and fit.
I think A&O's switch to Peating is the most honest public change of opinion I've ever seen. The great thing is their channel history is intact so you can watch them go straight from carnivore dieting to talking about coffee and serotonin
We live in a fallen world. The median person is fat or skinny-fat.
It is not hard to look better than the median person with a diet and exercise regimen.
I've been having good results in the gym lately. Feels like newbie gains all over again. It makes sense, Peating is just a really mature understanding of recovery
P.S. I love my wife
Peaters are not vain people. Aesthetics are not their goal. However, the intentional fighting back against the toxic environment brings man closer to his natural look. And many work out as well, because they like it.
I ate oysters daily for a week and now my mouth gets swollen and bumpy when I eat them. Not sure if I awakened a shellfish allergy from the high volume or this brand has contaminants (unlisted liquid smoke?)

Easily the most common anti-sugar argument is that we don't have the ability to self-regulate intake (because it was historically scarce)
But that isn't true. You WILL stop wanting sugar when you've had enough. It's just that "enough sugar" is MUCH higher than people think it is
“Eat like our ancestors” is a really common trope permeating most health spaces. It’s partially true—it was physically impossible to create many products which are now ubiquitous—but it assumes that most everything our ancestors did was metabolically good. This is idealistic.

Ground beef says it has 30 grams of fat. I cook it and drain the grease, which is 15 grams. Is that going to biased towards the unsaturated fats since they have a lower melting point or no?
Men and women's estrogen levels are actually quite similar besides menstrual fluctuations. How our hormones differ is how we block the harmful effects of estrogen
Progesterone: prometabolic/stabilizing
Testosterone: prometabolic AND blocks feminizing effects, androgenic

Dentists routinely remove wisdom teeth superfluously, poison us with fluoride, use toxic heavy metal amalgams, and blame our eating sugar and underbrushing for their shortcomings
The only good thing a dentist ever did for me was repairing chipped tooth (actually an orthodontist)

The character that people associate with androgens is really a testosterone-estrogen phenotype. DHT-progesterone phenotype is very different. Money talks, wealth whispers.
