Data from 1957

When rats were fed high carbohydrate diets/administered glucose, their B12 levels went down. B12D = Hyperglycemia

academic.oup.com/ajcn/article-a…
big shock, Diabetics are prone to B12 deficiency

jdmdonline.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
key variable in B12D with Diabetics is Metformin due to various inhibiting factors interfere with B12 absorption

Calcium is required and supplementation is suggestion.

Calcium Supplements cause Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC)
So lets review the sequence of events here:

Person becomes Type2 Diabetic (bad diet advice)
Person takes Metformin (which inhibits calcium based B12 absorption)
Person now takes B12 supps and Calcium supps = calcium lead to CAC
CAC = Heart Attack

Whoo mainstream advice ftw /s
Cut off the sequence of death by fixing the root of the problem

STOP SPIKING YOUR BLOOD SUGAR IN THE FIRST PLACE
NO SPIKED BLOOD GLUCOSE NO METFORMIN NEEDED

vegan diet is a 5 year ticking time bomb

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

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

1/ As we spoke about depression and esketamine yesterday, I will review a few nutritional supplements that can be helpful for patients. As a disclaimer, I'd like to say that my long monitoring of research and clinical observation from physicians .... @BulkSupps
2/ ... suggests that apart from acute interventions such as the one I reviewed yesterday or even potent anti-psychotics during a crisis, there is no single treatment that provides any highly satisfactory condition to the mood disorder patient.
3/ Any effective treatment is a combination of strategies that include (or not) some anti-depressant medication, a physical activity regimen, adjustments in diet and bioactive xenobiotics found as nutritional supplements. @BulkSupps

In this thread, I will go through the history of research that led to the concept of metabolic syndrome, as formulated by Gerald Reaven in 1988. 1/n
It is my hope that by doing so, I and others interested in this topic will have gained a much deeper appreciation of this essential and highly relevant area of biomedical science. 2/n
To achieve this, I will use as a guide Reaven et al's chronological bibliography from their popular book Syndrome X: The Silent Killer (attached). This consists of 64 references. 3/n

Let's be clear Zoe. This is an hypothesis that has all available evidence against it.

USDA and FAO data both show fat going up since the dietary guidelines were released--and more than carbohydrates.

Thread. With graphs and data. 1/n
Here are USDA and FAO dietary trend data in the attached graphs.

As we can see, the "gap" between carbohydrates and fats narrows over time, indicating a faster rise of fats compared to carbohydrates. 2/n
Below is the above data, but with a breakdown for each nutrient class.

These observations suggests that the claim that reduced fat caused carbohydrates to go up is wrong. 3/n

THREAD-

In this thread, I am going to explain how & why I believe low carb & ketogenic diets work

One of the most consistent findings w/KDs is a surprising voluntary decrease in food intake. This is the way in which the diet works & I will summarize the various mechanisms

1/11
In the clinical setting, a LC & VLCKD typically have increased protein versus a standard american diet.
In various studies, including this one ->ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17299116 increased protein intake was shown to increase satiety while preserving LBM.

2/11
Protein also has interesting properties related to thermogenesis. Roughly 20% of kcal w/r/t protein digestion are lost to thermic effects. Diets high in protein like LC & modified VLCHP-KD thus may create a deficit w/o decreasing calories ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Okay, so, I’ve been teaching Lifespan (and sometimes Child) Development and Educational Psychology for over 20 years, which means I’ve also been talking about the vital role of good nutrition for that long too. 1/
While I realize that this whole SNAP thing is just another vile game the GOP is playing, I think this can be used as an opportunity to inform people of just how goddamn important it that poor families have access to high quality foods. 2/
And I don’t mean important for THEM—good nutrition is vital to helping break the cycle of illiteracy and poverty, so it’s important to OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY. So, let’s talk. Long-ass thread ahead. 3/
