Storage only lasts for a few years

Case report finds that standard B12 supplements might NOT be reliable either.

Healthy B12 readings found that patient was still deficient.
Condition reversed when additional B12 was administered

Caution is urged to vegans thinking they're getting enough

Hey you know what sounds like a good idea? Lets make developing kids NOT eat a bio-available source of B12

New York is so WOKE
ONLY MONDAY? WEAK. California wants to go even further.

Lets make K-12 students eat meatless meals

THREAD: My Diabetes Conference Experience and the Incompetence of Modern Medicine

So I went to a Diabetes Conference to get insight into the medical field, to see where the mindset of medication prescribing originates. I sat through 4 hours of panels

you're welcome.
2) The lobby offered pastries and fruit for breakfast.
The event was free but the trade off was that the conference was backfunded by YOU GUESSED IT:
BIG PHARMA
The lobby was filled with drug reps pushing the latest greatest medications.
I grabbed a couple cards just for kicks.
3) The first 2 hrs of panels discussed managing diabetes with medications but I noticed a theme:

Doctors are fucking terrified of Hypoglycemia.

A reason doctors don't like LCHF diets is because they're concerned with hypoglyco. A LCHF diet is in their view, a death sentence

THREAD:
Carbohydrates and Athleticism

There is a rift in the keto and fitness community.
"You need carbs to exercise", is the common mindset. Therefore keto and fitness are antagonistic

I get it, its what is taught in academia, carb loading is the standard.
Fat is the primary energy in cardio, but the primary energy used in power based exercise is glycogen (carbs!)

On paper, LCHF like keto seems like non-sense for power performance.
No carbs = no power right?

Kinda. First off, you don't have to eat carbs to get glucose
The liver can produce glucose endogenously via Gluconeogenesis (GNG). Amino acids and fatty acids (glycerol) can be converted into glucose.
This is why keto dieters don't become hypoglycemic. Ketones become your primary energy source and GNG takes care of mandatory glucose needs

My Problem with Cardio for Fat Loss

"Low intensity cardio = 100% Fat Utilization"
This is objectively true, which is why you see so many people doing slow steady cardio. They wanna lose body-fat.

The mistake is the assumption that the fat utilization is "tangible" in results.
The rate of fat oxidation occurring in low intensity cardio is very "efficient", as in, it takes a LONG time to actually use up fat stores in cardiovascular training. This is exactly why endurance athletes are encouraged to become fat adapted.
Fat metabolism is theoretically limitless, provided the person has the physical capacity to keep exercising endlessly. Carb storage is finite, which is where "bonks" occur. In terms of milage, fat is superior.

Speaking plainly, fat takes a really long time to use up.

1/ Drawing a line from Comey to Mueller

Speculation and facts woven together in a way that makes sense to me

Thread
2/ Starting even before Trump was inaugurated, Comey was writing memos detailing his and Trump's interactions. Comey knew they could potentially be used as evidence in a legal case against the president but no "line of inquiry" on Trump had been opened yet
3/ This is similar to what the FBI did in Mrs. Clinton's email case. The investigation is clearly about the principal (Trump or Clinton) but that person is not named as a target. It's a game of lawyerly tact and wordsmithing and it allows Comey to deny deny deny

hey how about that the austin bomber was a deeply mediocre white man with the most basic-ass bone-stock conservative psuedopolitics with the reek of having been culled entirely from online comments who could have predicted
weird. can't figure out where he got the idea to kill random people of color from. i mean he did parrot the drivel of people who i remember even in 2000 couldn't go ten minutes without saying we should kill someone for not being white. no idea where he got this idea

The Mideast is doomed. #Egypt alone needs to create 700,000 jobs EVERY SINGLE YEAR to absorb the new job seekers out its 98 million population. A third of this population already live below the poverty line (482 Egyptian Pound a month, which is less than $ 1 a day) ===>
2-The seeds of the #Viciouscircle that the Mideast region finds itself in today were planted at least 5 decades ago. Excessive public spending without matching revenues were the catalyst to a faulty & dangerous incentive system that helped to balloon populations beyond control
3-A governance system that was ostensibly put in place to help the poor ended up being a built-in factory for poverty generation. Excessive subsidies helped misallocate resources & mask the true cost of living for households. Correlation between family size and income was lost

@LostInTheMovies
#10YearsOfLostInTheMovies begins right now - a 100-day trip through my archive leading to July 16, 2018, the 10th anniversary of my site. I will share 10 posts each day, moving chronologically from 2008 to the present. Hope this provides an interesting way to explore my work.
I will thread the links so you can scroll around, hopefully pretty seamlessly (though of course Twitter is not always great at handling this type of navigation). When there are interesting images to incorporate, I’ll add them in a subsequent tweet.
As a disclaimer I certainly don’t always stand by everything I wrote years or even a decade ago; opinions change and I may also have written something differently than I do now. In various ways I’ve changed over the years though I’m still happy with most what I’ve published.
