    [Carbs and Muscle Glycogen]

    Hey everyone! I have a rather different question (series of questions) at hand, to put simply - what would be the best carbs in terms of staying within the 'PEATY REALM' and optimizing physical performance? First thing that comes to mind is starch, but isn't starch bad per se? Carbs make my...

    She's been drinking 30 Colas a day for 15 years (plus 3 donuts! and shrimp) and looks healthier than any fruitarian. I estimate 5000 calories all together (4600 calories from cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup). The details may not be completely accurate, it's reality tv. View...

    SIPPING sugar / sweetened water every 5 minutes for stress relief

    Sugars acute anti-stress property isnt just sugar itself, it's the sweetness signalling that creates rapid adjustment to CRH stress neurons (at first i thought that was due to the dopamine release , but that doesn't look likely actually) Corticotropin Releasing Hormone releases ACTH which...

    PUFA, not sugar, causes eye damage associated with diabetes/aging

    An amazing pair of new studies that coincidentally (synchronicity!) came out at the same time, but without the authors seemingly knowing each other or citing each other's work. One of the studies dispels the ubiquitous myth that high blood glucose is what causes eye damage, especially in...

    VIDEO: Resurrection Of The Carnivore Diet (Fat vs Sugar - Mini Documentary)

    This new mini-documentary agrees with the dangers of PUFA, however, what seems anti-peat is the complete demonization of ALL sugar. I'm curious of everyone's thoughts.

    Drinking Pepsi/Coke freely is androgenic for males, enlarges testicles, ups testosterone

    I think the sales of Coke/Pepsi are about to go through the roof. The study sounds like it was sponsored by one/both of the soda makers, but it was not, and in fact is corroborated by prior studies on (human) male fertility and sugar consumption that I posted about in the past. The study below...

    The rats who ate 50g/kg sucrose for 2 weeks had significantly higher hippocampal serotonin and a more potent response to the serotonergic drug fenfluramine, all compared to rats who ate 50g/kg starch for 2 weeks. The starch group had longer-lasting serotoninergic effects, but the sucrose group...

    Higher protein, sugar, and vitamin E consumption beneficial for health/aging

    I would say right from the start that there are obviously a very large number of dietary components that can have beneficial effect on our health.

    Ideal potassium/carb ratio?

    With a lack of quality fruit juice available, refined sugar makes up a good bulk of my diet. Since it doesn’t have any potassium, I eat some (well cooked) potatoes every day for potassium. Anyone know a good K/ carb ratio to shoot for ? (for insulin managing purposes). Also, do I have to worry...

    Dietary sugar can treat chronic depression

    Not much to comment on here, except to point out that the sugar "addiction" in depressed people has been recognized by medicine for at least 50 years and has always been treated as a co-morbidity of the depressed state, also in need of treatment. Doctors have been advising depressed patients to...

    Heavy phlegm when I drink milk or fruit juice.

    Every time I drink fruit juice (especially citrus fruits), eat these fruits or drink milk, I have to quickly go to the sink to spit up large phlegm. It happens a few sips after another. Why? Is it a gastric acid problem or something like that?
