"There's no evidence for fasting, and its just another fad diet/religion. Just do CICO instead.""

Sigh, fine. You asked for it. Flood gates are open.

Fasting Data thread:

#IntermittentFasting #fasting
In 1973, an obese man fasted 382 days, only taking water, coffee and tea with vitamins and medical supervision.

Noted effects of the Fasting experiment:
-125kg of weight loss
-Symptom free
-No complaints of hunger
-Weight did not come back on

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Growth Hormone (GH) increases to sustain muscle mass during fasting period. As long as you have sufficient fat stores, protein oxidation stays low.

GH also increases fat oxidation, which is perfect for bodyfat loss

Data from 1957

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

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)

vegan diet is a 5 year ticking time bomb

merckmanuals.com/home/disorders…
Storage only lasts for a few years
bmj.com/bmj/section-pd…
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

In this article, we express our critical position towards using #CRISPR to engineer #pigs so that do not reach puberty. #Livestock farming should be designed with animal sentience at its core, we should not modify #animals to fit inhumane systems. allianceforscience.cornell.edu/blog/2019/07/a…
One aspect that the article does not mention and that we clearly indicated as being problematic is animal suffering during #experiments involving #CRISPR: painful #malformations, #abortions, are common "side effects" of such experiments.
Our original statement said "#CRISPR has a high potential for causing severe #animal #suffering during the research phases (such as abortions, perinatal mortality, malformations)

Animals will respond differently to the same inputs when they are hungry/sated, attentive/bored, etc. But how do we know what state the animal is in?

In this preprint with @jpillowtime @MurthyLab, we show how you can do that automatically! 👇

@jpillowtime @MurthyLab Watch this dog - he's super excited and he's going to watch the ball, take in that sensory information, and transform it into motor commands to catch the ball
Now take a look at this doggo - he too sees a ball go up and down but he uses a different strategy...

Something I think about a lot is how #veganism interacts with privilege. Veganism for wealthy, white Americans is very different from veganism for other demographics. When communicating your activism, this is such an important aspect to consider regarding your audience.
When you’re poor, yes rice and beans are cheap but that gets exhausting after a while. For many in rural areas, finding options is very limited. It’s an extra weight removing yourself from already small social circles.
I don’t think this justifies killing animals for consumption, but it’s a different narrative from somebody with a reasonable salary in a populated city.

This NYT editorial lets it all hang out: "Would Human Extinction Be a Tragedy?
Our species possesses inherent value, but we are devastating the earth and causing unimaginable animal suffering."

nytimes.com/2018/12/17/opi…
What the crisis in France has done is strip the sugar coating from the Green proposition. The price of human survival is voluntary poverty and much reduced population numbers. Climate change can't be paid for unless sacrifices are accepted.
To be fair if you grant the Green premise the conclusion follows. The dishonesty is entirely the media's. They make the climate change program sound like a picnic at the beach when in fact it means a Hobbesian existence.

Catching up on the #Nerdist stuff with Hardwick and already seeing people use the "whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?" line to defend him. Well, let's talk about why that's bullshit & doesn't apply at this point in time. (Gonna be a thread)
In the judicial system there are a number of "Burdens of Proof." These are necessary steps in all court cases, but specifically in criminal cases. "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" is a presumption for the jurors who have to find someone guilty BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.
So this presumption isn't a burden unto itself, and is, in fact, the LAST STEP in the judicial process. Getting to the point takes a bunch of other steps in which it's essential to believe the accusers. #Nerdist
