I want to tackle a nonsense claim. "Natural is Safer" Sounds comforting, right? But it’s based on fear, not facts. It’s tempting to think that because natural substances have been around for billions of years, they’re inherently safe, while synthetic chemicals are not. But

The Virta study—that gift that keeps on giving. Another post-hoc analysis from a $2B company claims nutritional ketosis can stall or reverse CKD in type 2 diabetes. Why? They say, because of ketones. Ketosis is great, but I have my suspicions & I'll tell you why. A Thread 🧵:

Day 6 of vegan keto *VERY* hungry. Lethargic. Not enjoying the experience overall. Food is okay taste-wise, but food volume too low for me.

Carb-insulin model of obesity: carbs -> blood glucose spike -> insulin spike -> decreased blood glucose & FFAs -> increased hunger 🤔

What happens when we feed babies formula low in the seed oil Linoleic acid (LA)? They develop skin conditions indicative of essential fatty acid deficiency. Estimated percentages of infants with skin EFA deficiency symptoms by formula LA%cal (ordered from worst to best):

🤩I love how plant-based *MEAT* is slipping into common parlance. 🟢Appropriate the language of animal products ✅ 🟢Normalise the consumption of plant-based meat, eggs, cheese, milk etc. 🌱🥩🧀🥛 🟢Don't put scare quotes around these terms (❌"milk") 💅

Coconuts have milk 🥥🥛 They have meat 🥥⬜️ No one complains. 💬But say soy milk or plant-based meat & that's when the semantic meltdown begins🙄

💬Looks like my very low-carb vegan diet is causing nutritional ketosis. Result on the left = someone on a non-ketogenic diet.

Day 8 of vegan keto 🟪Urine strips suggest I am in ketosis (I would be v surprised if I wasn't). 🟪I've incorporated konjac (🍜) again to ⬆️satiety. 💬Looking forward to having a carb binge in 11 days 🤩🍨🥔🍔
