We have concurrent rises in obesity, suboptimal metabolic health, processed food availability, seed oil as a % of human energy, and overall reduction of animal sources foods.
I suspect these concurrent trends have a relationship
This is not a hypothetical, I have a friend who does this habitually. If it's a one time thing and not their normal behavior, just let it go!
I use signal, I write a response like nothing has happened. I make sure to quote their message in my response. I use the timed message feature of signal and I send the response in 6 months.
Metabolic health appears to be directly linked to both body health and mental health
Eating local whole foods, nothing from a factory or a box or a bag - is a great way to remove a bunch of junk from your diet.
Check out your tg/hdl ratio on your last lipid panel, if its less then 2 its a good indicator your metabolic health is doing well, if its less then 1 then your metabolic health is doing great. If you have room for improvement then you could consider doing whole food low carb diet, as carbohydrates are heavily implicated in many instances of impaired metabolism.
Incorporate exercise and movement into every aspect of your day, don't stay indoors, get sunlight as much as you can, don't sit to long in one position at the office, etc. Exercise snacks, even as simple as taking the stairs, helps.
Yup, even if you had a great moderator they can't moderate everything in real time.
So for the kind of debate club format your talking about... would need a club with invitations and limited access, gate keeping. Which will be a thing in lemmy 1.0 member only communities.
Some exist here, the problem is, even with good moderation the trolls or intellectually dishonest will wear you down and burn out your good will. Eventually when someone thoughtful comes along you don't have the energy to engage.
You have to pace yourself.
Even if people are engaging in good faith: reading comprehension, and intellectual rigor are at all time lows. So their good faith attempts at engagement might come off as dishonest
So the curriculum and foundation of what they studied and had to pass is from a 7DA founded organization, and it's quite reasonable to think this person has never even heard of seventh day adventists at all, but they are pushing the agenda.
A 2020 Cochrane meta-analysis of roughly 59,000 participants across 15 randomized controlled trials found that replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat reduced combined cardiovascular events by 21%.
Yes. It undeniably lowers ldl.... Is that a good thing? Let's look at that all cause mortality data again.. it's missing? Oh heavens
Ultra-processed food really is a problem. The National Institutes of Health published the first randomized controlled trial on ultra-processed food in 2019 (a landmark study by Kevin Hall’s team) showing that people randomized to an ultra-processed diet consumed about 500 more calories per day and gained weight, even when macronutrients were matched precisely. The food was engineered to override satiety — proven, not suggested.
What does this dietician think a seed oil is? They were not a major source of human dietary fat over 150 years ago... They are ultra processed.
MAHA is road paved with artery-clogging cholesterol, and they’re calling it a health revolution.
Cholesterol is not a disease, if you don't eat it your body makes it. Eating dietary cholesterol does not increase serum cholesterol. For a dietitian they don't know much about the how the body actually works
Rehabilitating saturated fat — or casting public doubt on the evidence against it — is something those industries have spent decades and enormous lobbying dollars trying to accomplish.
Yeah chips will always be unhealthy, massive carb load, drives insulin, drives chronic disease
The boring answer — eat more vegetables and legumes, less ultra-processed food, default to olive oil, and yes, the source of fat matters less than the overall dietary pattern
Less ultra processed foods includes their beloved seed oils. Just swapping out seed oils for saturated fat won't fix major issues because it's not the biggest lever. It's chronic insulin which is addressed by a reduction in carbs not fat sources.
The followers (indirect they don't even realize they are followers) of Ellen G. White constantly try to kill my communities on Lemmy. So I get daily touches reminding me of them.
it's disinformation to ask for the sources of your statements? My reading of the literature indicates a metabolically healthy individual eating meat and not inflammatory compounds like seed oils, and not suffering from hyperinsulinemia (excessive dietary carbohydrates) does not have a meaningful CVD risk. I'm happy to share my sources.
Wishing you all the best health and long and happy life.
That is the problem with decentralization... the discovery.
However, people are fixing it, lemmy-federate is actively developed. I think the total daily active users has dipped a bit, but I'm still here to have conversations with people. Lemmy will grow, we just need to make it a great place first.
Some of the lead architects of core infrastructure have "eccentric" personalities which create friction, but I'm hopeful we will get past that. You need unique people to solve unique problems.
When traveling I usually get two esims from different providers, for some level of redundancy
