Good definition of UPF: "Evolutionarily novel", "industrial formulations manufactured by deconstructing foods into their component parts (such as oils, starches & sweeteners), modifying them (for example, through enzymatic processes) & recombining them with cosmetic additives"

“We must have more animal source food in humanity’s diet,” said Peter Ballerstedt. “Improving your own metabolic health may be the most impactful thing any individual can do to address these greater global issues.” lowcarbusa.org/peter-ballerst…

There can be no sustainable food systems without livestock in general and ruminants in particular.

Working on a course module within a study programme on diet and mental health, and my mind is blown every day by the work of Chris Palmer, MD Here's a great review on the ketogenic diet-mental illness interaction. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

"Compared to a natural baseline, emissions from modern beef production in this prairie ecosystem are similar to what may have been produced prior to livestock expansion [;] discussions on uses of rangelands should be focused on ecological outcomes rather than emission avoidance"

Just published in Journal of Metabolic Health “Practical guidelines for addressing common questions and misconceptions about the ketogenic diet” (Rice and Reynolds). This evidence‑based guide addresses key clinician and patient queries around keto, ketosis, T2DM, obesity, and personalised

"Overall, the evidence suggests that consuming dairy is not associated with an increased risk of non-communicable diseases or mortality. In fact, it may moderately reduce the risk of several health outcomes, including adverse cardiovascular outcomes & certain cancers"

We spend to much time talking about the ins and outs of ketogenic therapy, we forget that the most common question people ask is: What should I eat? Here's my son Matt Baszucki with direct advice about what to eat on a keto diet for mental health. #ProudMomMoment
