New Year #Egg 🥚Hacks

(1/3) Cream Crispy

Pour heavy cream in bottom of a non-stick pan & sprinkle w/ salt

Add eggs

Watch as cream boils & caramelizes the edges and converts to butter 🧈

Result = Caramelized whites with Creamy runny yolks and rich brown butter aroma!
(2/3) Cream Brown-Butter Scrambled

Heat just 1 Tbsp cream skillet & let it cook until well caramelized

Then add a 2-3 Tbsp of fresh cold cream to rapidly reduce the temperature of the pan, stirring to re-emulsify fat

Streamed in beaten eggs
P.S. Cream-scrambled eggs dry out on reheating like normal scrambled eggs

Just microwaved or gently heated on the stovetop with a splash of milk & as good as freshly cooked!
(3/3) The Best Leftover Egg salad

Make Creamy Brown Butter Scrambled from Hack 2 in bulk, and use leftovers for egg salad with avocado oil mayo (DIY or Primal Kitchen) + red onion and dill or everything bagel seasoning make scrambled egg salad (better than hard boiled by far!)

1/ NOW for 🧵 on 5 MYTHS about eating Bugs!
A DISCLAIMER

I am NOT trying to take your meat
I am NOT saying meat is unhealthy
I am NOT trying to force you to eat bugs
I am NOT trying to force you to eat bugs
I am NOT trying to force you to eat bugs

I AM asking you to set aside emotion and have an open mind

Begin...
2/ MYTH #1) People only eat bugs if they need to

Entomophagy is a cultural practice

The "eww" factor is entirely psychological

Many cultures eat bugs as delicacies, EVEN when meat is also part of the diet

Norms change. Take🦞a large bug that used to be considered slave food

#Vegan🌱#keto (low sat fat, 0 cholesterol)
vs.
Meat and Egg heavy diet + 120g net carbs

N=1 Crossover experiment

Surprisingly, LDL >300 mg/dL on vegan keto and ~100 mg/dL on meat and egg plus carb diet 🤯

👉 If this doesn't make you curious, I don't get you
2/ This contradicts the explanation that sat fat is the primary driver of ⬆️ LDL on low-carb

While it may represent an outlier case (& sat fat may primarily drive⬆️LDL in others), that these lipid results can present in anyone requires an explanation beyond conventional wisdom
3/ 2022 has been a good year for study of the Lean Mass Hyper-Responder phenotype with 5 manuscripts published:

-Demonstrating presence of the phenotype

-Providing explanation in the form of the Lipid energy model #LEM

-Calling for further research

1/7)🤯 New study in PNAS shows low-doses of sweetener aspartame can produce anxiety behavior 🧠in mice that's TRANSMITTED to their children and grandchildren 👦👶

Video:

Thread 🧵👇
2/7) The first experiment the team performed in this study was to expose male & female mice to normal drinking water or water with 0.015-0.03% aspartame

Notably this dose is only 7/8-15% the FDA recommended max dose for human intake, and the equivalent of 2-4 diet sodas per day
3/7) They found that even at this low-dose, anxiety behavior was increased in male and female mice as measured by an open-field test (OFT)

In this common assay, mice are placed in a playground of sorts and the less time they spend in the open center represents more anxiety

Thread🧵on Seed Oils that will please Nobody😲

1/10) First, why this thread?

Because I've seen seed oils rise quickly as a perceived villain within (and outside) the low-carb community as a presumed critical cause of metabolic dysfunction

Is this the case? ...
2/10) Before I go on, I will be clear about my Personal choices

I am convinced that intake of high amounts of oxidized highly processed soy, corn, grapeseed oil etc. are 'sub-ideal'

I never use in my own cooking, preferring ghee, avoid oil, EVOO, etc.
3/10) That said the tendency of TWto promote simplicity and vitality over nuance has - I believe - contributed to an over-eager messaging and vilification of "seed oil"

-

HERE TAKEN to BROADLY to mean oils from seeds/nuts high in Omega-6 relative to most animal-based foods

STUNNING! #Mitochondria Judo 🥋!

1/6) New Paper @NatMetabolism shows how fat cells in lean healthy mice and infants can change what would normally be an inflammatory signal into a beneficial one

⬆️mito-biogenesis

⬆️thermogenesis

#obesity

Video: Image
2/6 Research team finds that young fat cells are resistant to inflammatory response to mtRNA (or synthetic analog) and INSTEAD respond with increased mitochondrial protein content

Basically, converts would-be inflammation into signal for new mitochondria! Image
3/6 They find the mediator of inflammatory response to mtRNA is "IRF7" protein.

IRF7 is low in adipocytes of lean human children, but increased with #obesity (mice and human)

In a phrase IRF 7 is the "judo flip" and low IRF7 permits mite-biogenesis response to mtRNA Image
