Preface

This list of links that I have vetted could cause others to accuse me of Confirmation Bias. Well... Maybe.

I am challenging my possible Confirmation Bias by running my own analysis with a sample size of N = 1. In other words, I, (a single human) is the sample. Did the human use a process (a diet) that improved their health? Did my diet change improve my health?

In my case, Yes. Eating carbs spikes my blood glucose. Not eating carbs does not and did not spike my blood glucose.

This is a Work-In-Progress. I will be updating it as I review the different links to different sources of information.

✅ Feed Your Heart: The Secrets to Staying Off the Operating Table | Dr. Philip Ovadia | TEDxJeffersonU
Have you ever wondered why, despite medical advancements, heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States? With a staggering statistic revealing that 88% of Americans are not in optimal metabolic health, this talk by Dr. Philip Ovadia, a cardiac surgeon and the founder of Ovadia Heart Health shows a transformative journey triggered by the preventable crisis of a patient. Highlighting often ignored indicators like obesity and diabetes, he advocates for a fundamental shift—from treating to preventing heart disease. Drawing from personal experiences, including shedding 100 pounds, the talk challenges listeners to envision a world where proactive measures and seeking root-cause-focused healthcare keep individuals off the operating table. It's an invitation to rewrite the narrative and aspire to a future where heart disease is an avoidable exception rather than an unfortunate norm.

What happens in reality is the experts bring very weak research and use it to mislead you into thinking that too much red meat might cause something bad to happen to your health..

She argues that eating fat is essential to good health, and that the saturated fats, as found in meat, cheese, cream and eggs, are the whole fats in whole foods that are essential for good heath. Teicholz has a background in food, science, and investigative reporting. She wrote on nutrition science for Men's Health Magazine and broke the trans-fat story in the US for Gourmet magazine.

In today's lecture, Dr. Bikman guides his audience through a comprehensive exploration of anti-diabetic drugs, shedding light on their mechanisms, implications, and the broader context of diabetes management. Kicking off the discussion, Dr. Bikman elucidated the prevalent glucose-centric paradigm in understanding diabetes, emphasizing its limitations, particularly in discerning the nuanced differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. He underscored the pivotal role of insulin deficiency in type 1 and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes, setting the stage for a deeper dive into the intricacies of anti-diabetic medications.

The lecture commenced with an in-depth analysis of metformin, a cornerstone in diabetes treatment known for its efficacy in improving insulin sensitivity. Despite its widespread use, Dr. Bikman elucidated the persistent ambiguity surrounding metformin's cellular mechanisms, particularly concerning its impact on mitochondrial function. While acknowledging its beneficial effects, such as reducing hepatic glucose production, Dr. Bikman also highlighted the drug's gastrointestinal side effects and its potential to blunt mitochondrial adaptations to exercise.

Transitioning to insulin therapy, Dr. Bikman delineated its indispensable role in type 1 diabetes management but cautioned against its potential risks in type 2 diabetes, including weight gain and heightened cardiovascular, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease risks. He delved into the nuances of insulin secretagogues and thiazolidinediones, discussing their mechanisms and associated complications, such as increased cardiovascular risk and adverse effects on adipogenesis.

Further, Dr. Bikman explored GLP-1 agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors, elucidating their mechanisms of action and potential side effects, including an elevated risk of urinary tract infections with SGLT2 inhibitors and heightened ketogenesis. Before concluding, he briefly touched on amylin analogs, adding another dimension to the multifaceted landscape of anti-diabetic medications.

Dr. Bikman's lecture provided a comprehensive understanding of anti-diabetic drugs, transcending the traditional glucose-centric perspective and highlighting the complexities inherent in diabetes management. By navigating through the intricate mechanisms and implications of these medications, he empowered his audience with invaluable insights to navigate the complexities of diabetes treatment effectively.

How to Measure and Fix Insulin Resistance with Dr. Ben Bikman
Before delving into strategies for combating insulin resistance, Dr. Bikman takes a moment to outline methods for assessing one's own insulin resistance status, recognizing limitations in traditional approaches that solely focus on glucose levels. He stresses the importance of understanding insulin's broader role beyond glucose regulation, highlighting the significance of elevated insulin levels as an early indicator of resistance. The discussion moves to practical considerations, such as interpreting fasting insulin levels, with values below six suggesting insulin sensitivity, while higher readings may indicate varying degrees of resistance, requiring further evaluation.

As much as I enjoy the taste of cup-a-soups, The carbs are one reason I avoid then. The tertiary-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ) is another.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dangers+of+tbhq&t=ffab&ia=web

Quote from: https://www.webmd.com/diet/what-to-know-about-ramen-noodles

To preserve ramen in its storage condition, it is preserved with tertiary-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ). It is a petroleum-based product that is hard to digest and is also found in pesticides and lacquers. It makes the noodles hard to digest, therefore allowing the body to be exposed to this chemical for a longer period of time than normal. It will also impede your body from taking in other nutrients.
