I’ve been studying how to age well for many years and know much biochemistry to make sense of current health crisis. I think this is maybe the most important information I’ve ever come across! I don’t say that lightly. Amazing work sir I’m in awe of your work 🤩
This ismajor eye opening information! Were is are current heakh care system?
Health care systems are just following the wishes of pharmaceutical industry.
an excellent excerpt from an earlier interview...check out rj's great new book "nature wants us to be fat" as well as his peter atia talk...fructose is also converted from glycogen and has some problematic metabolites like sorbitol that induces cataracts...🌀
Why is insulin "bad"? Type I diabetics die without it. Insulin resistance is pathologic, and is due to damaged insulin receptors from chronic hyperglycemia induced tissue glycosylation, overly "stuffed" fat cells, along with free radical damage from incorporation of polyunsaturated fats into cellular and mitochondrial membranes. Excess carbs and seed oil consumption are the primary etiology of metabolic dysfunction.
Who said it was "bad"?
Insulin elevated too often is bad.
I had no idea that glucose converts to fructose! Ugh...
hehe nobody knows
That is through Polyol Pathway.
It absolutely all over the place. He keeps referring to sugar all the time, yet we are talking specifically about that subject - wouldn't it make more sense to differentiate between fructose, glucose, refined sugars. He says animals become active when given fruits - ya so what. I want to be active. The brain is stimulated one minute, then he says its lay the next! that the brain is producing fructose would point to the fact we are supposed to run on it.
Obviously Im skimming here, but
You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health.
Lower stress, reduce obesity, get enough sleep and more exercise are key to a healthy life.
Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world.
Fast food and sugary drinks including fruit juices are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity.
Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly.
Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices.
Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly.
Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer.
Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game.
A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility.
Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun.
Every city should be a bicycle city.
Speak up for bicycles in your community
I bike every day, bicycling is great for brain, lungs, knees, legs and joints, also you make dopamine + eat some lentils they are magic..
In evolution nothing is "Meant to be". This presentation would be more credible were RJ to use fucntionalist langauge rather than teleological language.
