Throw in all the preservatives and synthetic garbage that destabilizes gut health and you also get food cravings tied to the body trying to fix the gut. Many of the flavors that are 'added' can loosely described as similar to the metabolites the body would need to restore them.
10/ Modern food science created "nutritive mismatch" - when what your tongue tastes doesn't match what your stomach receives. A 2017 Yale study showed that when sweet taste and calories don't align, metabolism gets fooled and hunger regulation breaks down. https://t.co/QQbBWwrQcv
I wouldn't be surprised to find that many of the A/B testing for food preservatives showed an increase in food sales over time.https://t.co/KUI9hBIyEF
Its not just 'nutrients' that the body is able to smell. Its 'sets' of nutrients that coincide with the missing fermentation frens in our gut.https://t.co/1VopdVFVd0
Doritos are a great proxy for a body seeking lactic acid bacteria related metabolites and butyrate producing strains of cheese-smelling anti-inflammatory bacteria and related SCFAs and proteins.Terpenes, phytochemicals, metabolites? Bacterial and fungal manipulators. https://t.co/ii2Jc4pd8C
If anything the fad around vitamins is a side effect of all the ways industrial food norms denature the nutrition in our food. We HAVE to add the vitamins in because they either go missing or aren't there to begin with like more natural stuff.https://t.co/yM0Y7xDPH9
@TuckerGoodrich @cocoadog We do none of these things as a society, because these processes reduce shelf life and make it expensive to process. So we strip and purify, then add vitamins back in afterwards.It's driven by food-as-status & advertising as far as I can tell.
When you start to dig into the history of food science, thins start to get more insane.https://t.co/9sY6GCEFnB
@StevenWillcox2 @alaulejo @ghosttyped 95% this is an artifact from 1900s "Scientific Nutrition" where we tried to figure out how to get our troops in WWI to stop starving long enough to shoot a gun and then extrapolated it out to thinking this is all healthy.That and experiments on orphans / the mentally insane.
Like... what?https://t.co/MXjoTwqU3D
@TrampolinRocket @Robotbeat Our models are wrong. We dumped tons and tons of money into 'scientific nutrition' in early turn of the century based on misguided notions. And when the war ended, we had all this hyper processed food systems meant to keep people healthy for a few years.https://t.co/nDS507fsYl
I mean, just consider our 'bread like product' that most of us eat every day without even thinking about it.How much zinc are we avoiding in our diet because none of us have the ability to digest seed hulls anymore?https://t.co/3mf047FU7o
I learned from a book on milling grain that the wheat germ is (supposedly) high in B12 and Zinc, along with some healthy fats, but is often thrown away because it isn't shelf stable and clogs up the mill stones.I wonder if B12 shows up on an HPLChttps://t.co/CNCZK9noVU
Like omg, did you know if you don't get enough food, you die? Such insight, very smrt. Thanks scientific nutrition science!https://t.co/kFyspdqdpH

Imagine thinking the miraculous health improvements from the 19th to the 20th century are praise worthy and not just a bandaid for complete idiocy in western society. https://t.co/kETS6MZRz9
@SamoBurja @wolftivy @TylerAlterman @rivatez Not that hard to improve upon a system where your population was eating so bad they literally had to put borax in their milk to make it taste better, and had to have their religious leadership tell them to stop putting contaminated wastes on their fields.
Longevity fads are the same way. We're selling pills upon pills, and fortifying nutrient poor foodstuffs using stuff grown in bioreactors from cornstock... More of the same misguided nonsense. https://t.co/z3qCHYFpB4
"these microbes are living bioreactors, actively producing NAD-boosting metabolites such as nicotinic acid (NA), nicotinic acid riboside (NAR), nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), and nicotinamide riboside (NR)."https://t.co/ZjMzVoOD5J
We're lacking gut bacteria that make nutrients and our food is depleted of healthy cofactors. And all the pharmaceuticals add to this nutrient-depletion burden.So we buy fancy vitamin pills for $$$ and pray that we don't die.https://t.co/wumYpEa871
We could do so much better.https://t.co/s3KBzcFvii
@uwutoowo1 Bryan Johnson does what I do now. He was taking so many pills that he decided it was easier to make a concentrated mix. https://t.co/dEfLPNp8oXIt's funny because gorilla biscuits's zinc should be helping creatine kinase to make the creatine internally.https://t.co/fZog3Dd8PC https://t.co/3PkYD1NuLO
There's a time and place for pills. Concentrating herbal extracts to make them easier to eat. Encapsulating oils & tinctures so they can target the right part of the gut.Doing experiments w/ controlled amounts of vitamins/minerals + suppliments... Sure! https://t.co/ZYVQhR2eOv
@BioavailableNd @Grimhood @AlexJournal2019 @mscarnivore I was doing blinds with my supplement stack by randomizing it and taking a picture (without looking), and then dumping it in to my pill sorter. I would then check after a week was done to see what correlated with my mood that day.https://t.co/yhRhmMyKw8
But when you do shit like this, its because you're sick and trying to find ways to be healthy again. It's because your body can't get these nutrients from diet, either because your digestion is broken, or your diet is poor.https://t.co/nCXVquHCkl
If your daily stack looks like this, it means you aren't getting these nutrients thru your diet.My Excuse? I was living on $100 a month and my gut liked to clear itself out and void my gut frens into the toilet... https://t.co/fZog3DcB04 https://t.co/QLxBV5SOJY
I realized how many things I knew about when @uwutoowo1 was scrolling thru Temu and buying brain/boner pills and not a single thing he looked at was unknown to me.https://t.co/xWrtjaoe7y
I'm happy to report i'm at a point now where I can provide for and source most of the nutrients I need thru diet and herbal foods. Tho i'm still heavily dependent on muscle milk due to my living situation making it hard to cook again.https://t.co/S8PuZU1gzD
@T_R_Heisenberg I'm fundamentally lazy. Why bother with strict sourcing of expensive vitamin pills and being anal about dosing when I can just have my gut handle vitamin C recycling. Drinking some pine needle or rose hip tea in the winter when i'm low and i'm golden. https://t.co/tP3rIauwoW
I'm also still trying to figure out how to not need to eat vitamin C cuz I think it'd be funny to prove everyone wrong.https://t.co/BAeD6u1QG2
@stefanobellelli @DeltaLimaPapa3 @eigenrobot It may be possible to have your gut bacteria make vitamin C or Glutathione for you, which would allow us to live without vitamin C like rats, and if we can figure this out could explain why guineapigs are able to live off of low vitamin C diet.https://t.co/p2kqwFPdAX
Did you know you can get vitamin C from hard cider?https://t.co/mVpjqyZzvb
5 cans of hard cider, just what the doctor ordered.https://t.co/BOmm0yTszO
@stefanobellelli @DeltaLimaPapa3 @eigenrobot Did you know that fermented apple cider is high in vitamin C? By weight, about 20% DV compard to 10% of from an apple. It's a great way to get fruit in you. Though you'll wanna avoid sulfites that kill off gut bacteria. https://t.co/IrkxztZKKa
That reminds me, I have a bag of pine needles branches I gotta strip and steep soon. https://t.co/7SFniXQRdA
I also figured out how to get vitamin D in the winter... from fat :)Didn't need to supplement it. https://t.co/cMAsptuxk9
@eigenrobot @lordcataplanga @slatestarcodex @selentelechia GF's vitamin D went up without any supplementation after all. During the winter. She didn't increase her D because we couldn't afford it on top of the horse tail.That isn't supposed to happen at our latitude. But we got blood work showing it did. lmao.
if you want to fund me doing more research into weird ideas involving making coffee from cherry pits from bear feces... consider buying something from my online store! https://t.co/SumBzyJ5zZhttps://t.co/DrRFEDDYWK
So... if bears are hibernating during the winter, how are they getting an increase in vitamin C?"The high levels of vitamin C may act as a mitochondrial antioxidant and counter the effects of uric acid, thereby aiding the oxidation of fat"https://t.co/worztzU8zJ
I'd love to get a ton of rose hips and see what kind of magic I can do with them. https://t.co/tUoDPu2Q7I
You can ignore me, I'm so pilled on nutrients that I take stuff meant for dogs.https://t.co/6J32xXLyg5
Pilled beyond imagination.https://t.co/nv0uaJ3YOo
Anyway, if you have cravings for Doritos... its likely that your body needs lactate producing bacteria and is seeking out sources of lactic acid microbes it has associated with diary / cheese flavors.I know this for... uh... reasons.https://t.co/WYq8AZKaIu
Consider making authentic real buttermilk based ranch dressing with real herbs and spices.https://t.co/U13sPxZHcI
If you're really adventurous, you can even just straight up make your own cheeses.https://t.co/FOwd1FQT0D
For bonus points, instead using white wine vinegar for farmers cheese, you can let that apple cider turn into a vinegar. If you're already selecting sulfite free flavors, you can add sugar to it and the acetate bacteria will start breaking down alcohol.https://t.co/hXsTVdpc74
Also you can replace most sour dairy mixes with kefir and get a good result. Ranch Kefir dip is delicious.https://t.co/4DWQoHua6d
Ok, so now you have homemade cheese and home made ranch dressing. Now make your own Doritos.https://t.co/1MsnKuV9lX

"I did discover that semen is high in zinc, [...] When you increase the zinc levels in wort, it reduces the chances of acetaldehyde, a cider-like off flavor in beer and cause of hangovers. So semen may well be the cure for hangovers."😹https://t.co/b1Q3B5ZO0c

@TheBitcoinPope Part of the reason I am making my own ice cream is b/c people keep fucking it up & cutting corners with additives.We can't even do raw milk right and all the 'experts' that opine on economics of it don't even know how to preserve milk without a fridge. https://t.co/A1egrgFzlX
If you're really into making your own ice cream and don't want dairy. Don't worry, you can milk your own nuts if you want. Someone invented a process to make cheap nut milk and its everywhere now.https://t.co/Q1pldIWsQk

I'm going to be making my own peaness yogurt flavored ice cream myself just to try it. If it's good, gonna have a whole line of vegan ice cream cuz I think its funny to brand something "try my delicious nut milk".https://t.co/IRoCShkNEKhttps://t.co/P0tBzAykNG
The last time I was able to see a doctor was back in 2015. The medicine I was given fucked me up and I lost the best job I ever had.Haven't been able to see a doctor since due to my non-24-hour disorder. Now I am my own doctor.https://t.co/6E3cZHjy2C
