Can ½ of a Teaspoon of Baking Soda Before Each Meal Cure (Auto-)Immune Disease? Or is this Just a Misinterpretation of the Words of an Overzealous Press Release Writer?

Written by | published on

The press release that accompanied the publication of a study from the Augusta University  seems to promote baking soda as a panacea for every (auto-) immune/inflammation-related disease.  It sounds almost too good what a recently published press-release from the Augusta University claims ( read it ): "A daily dose of baking soda may help reduce the destructive inflammation of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis." WOW! ... but wait. This cannot be true, can it? Well, the mechanism that is introduced in the press release does not seem to be totally absurd. The fact that a temporary alkalization of the otherwise acidic chyme in the stomach will trigger for the production of an increased amount of stomach acid has been known for decades (it is also why classic antacids usually make heartburn worse when used more than occasionally | Maton 1999 ).

Still throwing away the yolks? Bad idea... even your gains would benefit from the very part of the egg where most of the nutritional value is hidden. You will have read it in the Facebook News  already (if you didn't subscribe, yet, I can only recommend you head over to facebook.com/suppversity right away): whole eggs build more muscle than egg whites. If that's true, generations of bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts have literally  thrown away their gains by separating and trashing the yolks of their beloved (? how one can love egg-whites, only is beyond me, anyway ?) egg- whites . In view of the fact that eggs have always been one of  SuppVersity Readers' Favorites  I thought: why shall I stick to only one egg study? Let's check out what else the egg-o-logy has to offer, these days... Whole eggs are also an excellent source of dietary protein Yolk: Triglyceride & LDL ↓, HDL ↑ Eggs Boost Vit Uptake 3-4-fold Egg-o-logy - All About Eggs Eg...

Can Oxidized Proteins Kill You? PROTOX Links Processed High Protein Foods to IBS, Diabetes, Cancer, NAFLD & Co.

Dietary protein sources: You better eat them before they're rancid. There's such a thing as "protein oxidation"? If you are asking yourself this question, you will probably have missed the 20th century studies by Henry D. Dakin (*1880–†1952). Dakin originally reported the oxidative degradation of particular amino acids during digestion and introduced the potential biological consequences of such biochemical reactions. The impact of PROTOX, as this form oxidation is called to distinguish it from the way better known LOX (lipid oxidation) on human health was, at that moment, wholly unknown. As Estévez and Luna point out in a recent paper in the peer-reviewed scientific journal "Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition", PROTOX has been in the focus during the succeeding decades, though, "owing to the association between the oxidative damage to proteins and aging and age-related diseases (Berlett & Stadtman, 1997)" (Estévez. 2016). ...
