That is almost a given. There is a lot of disagreement on what healthy food looks like, and a lack of foundational research on health outcomes of different diets long term.

Healthy food for different populations is the food that sustains health, even if that food by itself isn't universally healthy for all humans. Dairy, Gluten allergies, etc. There are many foods that some people can tolerance, but not all people can tolerate. Western diet and first nations people don't often mix well.

Even in the health research space, there is considerable, and acerbic disagreement on what is healthy vs just tolerated. For individuals its even more blurry, there are many religious, philosophical, and cultural reasons people maintain a food bias for.

A elimination diet protocol is the single best tool a individual can use to find out what is causing them problems. Get down to the very bare minimum of nutrition (meat, salt, water), stabilize for a few weeks, then reintroduce foods very slowly until they are able to identify what they cannot tolerate.

Caught yourself in a lie. If this is your first Lemmy account and it's only a few hours old... How did you see a removed post from 24 hours ago.

look we don't care... just mark your posts nsfw and post in a nsfw community. its not asking much.

Not buying that at all. You have a pattern.

Anyway please post suggestive things into a nsfw community and mark the post nsfw. Lemmy is used by people in public or at work.

You got your last account banned in one day, and it looks like your trying to do it again?

Why? What are you getting out of this?

Lemmy welcomes nsfw and porn fantasies they just need to be put in nsfw communities.

I used to think like this... Nothing worked for me, so I said I don't care.

Later I discovered how easy it is to be healthy, doesn't even require much exercise, just a simple eating pattern. My health improved tremendously, and life is better.

Now I really care about my health, because I feel in control of my health.

Live long and die fast: healthy people don't have long drawn out painful deaths, unhealthy people suffer for years and years before they kick the bucket. Healthspan is something under our control.

The Diabetes in SEA is a real puzzle. Rice has always been a staple of the local diet, so that can't really account for the rise in type 2 diabetes.

If I had to speculate its a combination of both increased carbohydrate consumption (glucose spikes), process food (glucose spikes, inflammation), and the wide-spread adoption of industrial oils (inflammation, and attacks cholesterol). We know that most dietary problems come from mixing carbohydrates and fat (randle cycle inflammation)

I think glycemic index is only useful in the context of dosing insulin, not for gauging overall health of food. I find the carbohydrate-insulin model of health most compelling. The big difference is it's the TIME of elevated blood sugar that is more important then the HEIGHT of the spike. Obviously reducing both is good, shorter time, lower spike, but if you have to focus on one, time has the biggest metabolic payoff.

haha, not sure if that was sarcasm (the internet makes us all skeptical, heh), but I've found CGMs to be a massively useful tool. Where I live I can order them from aliexpress for $20, and that gives me two weeks of biohacking protentional. I've found the best benefit by giving them to my friends so they can see what their bodies are doing, it's been my sneaky way of convincing people to go low carb.

Great writeup

Just want to add if you ever want to debug what a sweetener is doing to your glucose or insulin there is a easy test you can do at home. Wear a CGM (Continuous glucose monitor), which are fairly inexpensive and OTC now. When your blood sugar is flat and stable, take a sample of the sweetener by itself, eat it, and watch the glucose response for the next hour. If it goes up, then there is glucose in it, if it goes down, then the sweetener causes a insulin response.

Currently there aren't enough tools for small communities. It's hard for a niche community to grow and flourish.

If you post something like 'BBQ is delicious', it becomes a open referendum for the entirety of Lemmy to tell you why everything you said is wrong. Everybody dog piles their own personal biases and issues. And that's fine for a general discussion.

lemmy needs smaller community safe spaces so the conversations can grow by interested parties, that's currently lacking. Like a subscriber only post, only seen by people who subscribe to a community. And then when it gets large enough, people can say I want this to be generally available. I think that would help a lot

Yeah, it's good for high frequency communication because its more resilient to noise and capacitive interference.

LVDS is just a standard for pairwise low voltage differential signaling. You still need a protocol on top of that to talk to the video controller.

Shouldn't Greenland be much smaller?

I hate April's fools

why not make a community for your political discussions?

Use a VPN like zerotier or tailscale to connect to your game host server.

yeah, 100%. Not everybody gets gout, there is clearly a genetic profile that can develop gout... in the current metabolic context, and the modern diet.

People can't control their genetics, they can control their metabolism, and their diet.

Fructose has uric acid as a byproduct of its metabolism [86]. Fructose induced hyperuricemia has a pathogenetic role in metabolic syndrome [78,87]. Higher insulin concentrations, associated with metabolic syndrome, reduce the renal excretion of uric acid [47,80,88]. Uric acid is an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, [78] which is the catalyst for nitric oxide, critical for circulatory and immune homeostasis.

Reducing circulating uric acid concentrations is one of the mechanistic components of improved blood pressure control that is observed with a reduction in fructose intake [89].

All of that is to say elevated uric acid is not the root of the problem, its a symptom of the core problem.

Quotes from the paper https://doi.org/10.1038/s41588-024-01921-5

Over recent decades, the incidence of gout has steadily increased, largely due to lifestyle factors such as diet, obesity, and metabolic conditions

The paper also indicates a global rise in gout going hand in hand with the rise in global metabolic dysfunction.

Having looked at the paper, it good, really good... but the genetic factors are for a population in the current metabolic context (high carb diets, poor metabolic health). Some people can tolerate the modern food landscape really well, and those people don't get gout (hence this paper). But just because people's genetics are intolerant of the current food landscape, doesn't mean they HAVE to get gout.... It can be avoided, by cutting out carbs, fructose, and alcohol. So even if you have a genetic sensitivity that leads to gout, you can simply not eat the foods necessary for the condition.
