We used to use lactic acid bacteria to cure meat.This was good for you and helped promote serotonin production bacteria.When we synthesized nitrates, we used that instead.Now "No added nitrates"? Mixing in celery juice which turns into nitrates anyway.https://t.co/wmMC7gwsTe
Now I wonder why red meat (cured with nitrates) ends up leading to heart disease? It sure is a mystery. What could be happening?https://t.co/rFUm0qFQ1y
Using sodium nitrite to kill wild hogs? Are we really doing that?How could that backfire? Well, the ones that survive might just tweak their microbiome to produce the enzyme they're missing.https://t.co/sgb9oEuYdI

Is this lies? Can we sue?"For Oscar Mayer hot dogs, the packages now list ingredients like celery juice that has been treated with bacterial culture. That turns the naturally occurring nitrates in celery juice into nitrites that serve a similar purpose."https://t.co/Z7eFxrhDzG

Unrocessed red meat (e.g. no nitrates or celery juice nitrate production substitute) as part of a Mediterranean diet, shown to possibly reduce risk of Multiple Sclerosis.They don't know why yet.https://t.co/QmFGpZco6a
Poor people don't have a lot of fresh vegetables or fresh meat in their diet, and it shows up in oddness in Mediterranean diets. Possible that increased nitrate load is amplyfing gut dysbiosis causes along with higher use of cheap carbs?https://t.co/bW9C1SZcd0

Hunch: nitrates kill butyrate producing bacteria and are a direct cause of western levels of heart disease / all the bad rap about 'red meat'. Combine with processed (carbohydrate rich) diets & a fear of fats and it explains why Mediteranian diet is odd:https://t.co/m1IvcwFgQr
If I didn't have cholesterol metabolism issues that means I need to eat some kind of animal product, I'd be going vegan.https://t.co/GjVY7wAGqY
I wonder how many plant-based meat substitutes are going to add nitrates in. Would be funny if in 20 years we see that it didn't actually improve heart disease all that much and it was all a misunderstanding.https://t.co/a7Pbdt4a9L
Nobody mentions how plant-based meat substitutes don't provide cholesterol. What if you have a bunch of mutations that mean you don't produce cholesterol from plant fats like normal? There's all sorts of weird genes that can imbalance this stuff.https://t.co/0CqgvXJ4MI
heh @justsaysinmice https://t.co/PIIoTHM3IB
A theory around how nitrate production tips homeostasis in favor of pathogenic bacteria in the gut / can trigger a runaway effect causing inflammation and gut dysbiosis. Talks about how intermittent fasting / diet can help to avoid this effect.https://t.co/z5vjPwjkZg

Seems to all operate via oxygen/antioxidant processes.https://t.co/VP2h5bsvFM
I think what we're seeing with the celery juice is that the bacteria in question are neutralizing the antioxidants?https://t.co/AxxGUL8Sbx https://t.co/oyLNJryy77
So the nitrates are basically a prebiotic of sorts that affect oxygen balance, but in high amounts end up overwhelming the homeostatic mechanisms of the healthy gut and lead to stuff like Escherichia coli etc dominating? https://t.co/nfe3qhMCXa
I imagine the nitrate process for meats is much like the process we see with alcohol production, first the yeast make a ton of it to drive off other competitors, but eventually they even make so much that they kill themselves off too.
I can't find the tweet, but I used a similar tactic to destroy an invasive ant colony in the backyard - I overfed them to a point where they were unable to sustain their colony and it collapsed. Along they way they also destroyed another colony of a different invasive.
Neat. Just as butyrate reduces internal inflammation, it also seems to improve immune system function on the skin.https://t.co/gTUm6RS0JO
I'm going to wash my face with a natural source of sapponins, followed by dousing it with apple cider vinegar to target what I think is a chronic yeast infection causing beard dandruf, and then afterward coat it in ghee to reduce inflammation.I am turning into a yoga mom.
Lemons (Saponin) and Apple Cider Vinegar, miracle weight loss cure?Nah.Just killing chronic infestations of yeasts and fungal stuff that poor people get. Reduces the body's drive to store white adipose tissue to fight a war on the microscopic level.https://t.co/WlH7sPTBIU

What do you mean penicillin up-regulates fungal infections. Why would a natural antibacterial generated by a fungus help other fungal species survive in a hostile ecosystem after down-regulating the hosts natural bacterial species? That doesn't make any sense. /s
Did you know that ants collect pine tree resin to help the colony fight off infectious diseases targeting their fungal colonies? If lemon+avc thing doesn't do the trick, I'm going to do the same with pine pitch soap because it is also high in saponins.https://t.co/CISIkWdwve
Imagine spending millions of dollar looking for genes that statistically correlate to c-section births; then thinking those genes are causing autism while completely ignoring vaginal microbiome & breast milk bacteria, and antibiotics.
Western medicine's obession with genetic risk factors is causing widespread streetlight effects, primarily because its easier to get funding for genetic research.https://t.co/KAVNDJ2V03
Twin studies on autism are suspect because having a twin in the uterus can impact all sorts of weird brain growth factors that might make autism more likely. Its like the worst thing to use to find correlates of genes and autism if autism is actually an immune system issue.
Girls are protected from autism because of genes? https://t.co/m1n9R3geg4 I mean... what if you're just measuring this: https://t.co/rlqwcs717Q
Let's do a twin study! Its the gold standard!https://t.co/UgYhAbAOAW
I've started putting collagen peptides in my protein shake in hopes that it will increase butyrate. I may be reducing my chances of liver & colon cancer at the cost of pancreatic cancer risk. Good thing I got hardcore pancreas/insulin management genes.https://t.co/CxEOwNlPfA
If the collagen peptides help me avoid Crohn's disease flare-ups and improve intestinal barrier, I'm thinking it may also have an impact on neural inflammation and reduce the chances of experiencing any more Multiple Sclerosis symptoms in the future.
Twin studies are great! We should do more! https://t.co/iTLlQm7VNMhttps://t.co/1W2i3lZGMl

TFW learning about the impact on rosehip terpenes on digestion and I hear a story about farting coyote & raven trickster gods.There is more going on in this. Is actually a tale about how to avoid indigestion by eating high collagen parts of the body?https://t.co/3jX8PBz6KY https://t.co/43snQkejcw
Can construe story not just as a parable, but as using pre-established archetypes as a childen's story to help aid in remembering stuff on plants.Coyote eats rosehips - gives him gas & explosive farts.Raven eats eyeballs, high connective tissue areas - their poops don't spray.
Long review on twin studies for autism heritability (ala twin studies) from 2011; resonates with me.https://t.co/iDuBVyEI1B
I basically question every single "twin study" done to 'prove' autism is genetic/heritable because the very nature of having an identical twin would predispose the individuals to having brain development issues under the right circumstances.

Hypothesis: Extreme Vegan and Extreme Carnivore diets that focus on reducing inflammation in the intestines and reduce insulin spikes seem to both work out for people, but partially depending on their microbiome make-up.https://t.co/rumWcZbPrx
@37point78 @Honstomanian @Oo_O_o00o_O_oO @0xa59a2d @Cernovich Its when fats and carbs are combined that trigger behavior responses. So high carb low fat, or high fat low carb doesn't matter, both seem to be good.I went with fat variety (fermented diary, eggs, insects), b/c I have genetic issues with turning plant fats into cholesterol.
I personally support any diet that moves us away from centralized production of addicting (brand driven) products, but especially those that have been shown to improve gut health & longevity.Friendly reminder: eating vegan or carnivore doesn't inherently make your diet healthy.
I made this weird joke about cholesterol. But in looking deeper, Vitamin D3 supplement are made with... get this... a Saponification process involving the rendering of cholesterol from sheep's wool and Irradiating it.https://t.co/gBHIT4xwffhttps://t.co/hSMlLxtnLk
How do vegan's supplement on vitamin D? All the sources I've been finding have been from animals.https://t.co/wHbPRtFFcT
Might have already answered my own question. Vegans may be getting vitamin D from mushrooms... (just like how vegetarian ants use fungus and microbes to generate their necessary nutrients?)https://t.co/1fGh4ArXJa
So vitamin D, yeah?It helps improve sunburn symptoms by promoting healing, and by extension reduces inflammation in the intestinal wall in patients with IBS (reducing diarrhea). Strange, eh?Would that have an impact on neuro inflammation? Yeah!https://t.co/ciHyhqfBhL
