And if you're forced to eat pork or chicken fed a high PUFA diet, it's best to eat the lean cuts. But the fattier cuts and the skin are the best parts of those animals. It's a tragedy.

I realize this wasn't directed at me, but my understanding is that that fat in avocados is mostly monounsaturated fat, with about 10% polyunsaturated fat. In a person who hasn't eaten a heavy PUFA diet, it would be fine. It's on par with olive oil. If a person is looking to lower PUFA stores...

On Bezos, we know he is on Testosterone Optimization Therapy of some kind. So he has some insight into the unfortunate reality of modern living immersed in endocrine disrupting hormones.

You don't think there is a political, climate-based initiative to get people to eat a plant-based diet? That seems like sophistry to me. A person can't consume any mainstream news without being inundated with propaganda about the dangers of eating animals. Here's an example of the propaganda...

Gman86, I think you know where I stand on this. Yes, IMO avoid all fish oil supplements. But not all seafood. Shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, oysters, squid, mussels and other shellfish are low PUFA. They are fine. I do believe cold-weather fatty fish (high in Omega 3s) should be avoided. Cod...

I hear you. If your triglycerides are low and HbA1c is low, you're doing lots of things right, which is most important. Of course there could be confounders involved. That said, the video is really one of three, and it's a fairly deep dive. Certainly the anti-Omega 3 and 6 view is by far a...

I don't intend to push my views on anyone, but I am now in the camp that there are no benefits to consuming Omega 3s or Omega 6s at all, whether in fish or fish oil supplements. For more on that view, I can suggest three episodes from Jay Feldman's Energy Balance podcast, starting at Ep. 105.

If you haven't already you should get genetic testing and run the results through NutraHacker and Prometheas. At this stage, i would suggest you consider going for whole genome sequencing. Prices are under $500. We're entering a revolution for whole genome testing and it's taking about 10-12...

Agree. I stopped supplementing zinc a long time ago, except as with an acute viral infection maybe once a year. My zinc levels are consistently within normal range, with copper and ceruloplasmin being low, as in very low normal or out of range low. Of course that is serum concentration vs...

@Cado, you are an interesting guy. Clearly knowledgeable. I realize blood serum copper levels don't speak to tissue saturations. But what about low serum copper levels combined with low ceruloplasmin levels? I ask because that's my situation. And full gene sequencing reveals I am...

I was a long time user of Metoprolol Succinate in the 100 to 150 mg range. Metoprolol is a cardioselective beta blocker, so it is definitely a positive for those concerned about more systemic effects (relaxing of the smooth muscle, causing breathing difficulties in those who have asthma or...
