Unless you got the right, i.e. breast milk as a baby and have rendered your gut "gluten proof" - being breast fed, when you are first exposed (or being exposed later in life) has after all been suggested as a protective factor (Farrell. 2005) This is not going to be a long post; and still, at least for some of you it is going to be an important post. A post that may have the potential to change your life for the better or for the worse depending on whether you actually suffer from gluten-intolerance or have simply been bamboozeled by the "gluten is the devil" messages that are plastered all over the Internet these days. Actually, I would hope that you belong to neither of the groups and can thus simply ignore this post. For the unfortunate rest, I have prepared a mini-summary of the results of a recent study from the Immunosciences Lab in Los Angeles (Vojdani. 2013) Milk and cornflakes - a killer combo A couple of recent studies, as well as reports from p...

Image 1: I guess the feed of those boars does not contain any corn oil and is spiked with both bisphenol A and soy bean extract - I mean, how else could you possibly explain those balls? (img dirtybutton.com) Let me start today's post with a few questions: Would you buy a 100% natural product that can lower your estrogen levels by up to -98% , increase the weight of your testes by ~30% and, above all, boost your testosterone levels by a whopping +87% ? I guess, at least all those of you who either have not read or not understood the Intermittent Thoughts episode on estrogen's role in skeletal muscle hypertrophy are just sitting there, nodding their heads... I would yet also venture the guess that this nodding will end pretty abruptly, now that I am about to tell you that this all natural testosterone booster is derived from the powder of 2kg of Glycine max soy beans via methanol extraction, subsequently freeze dried and capped into 600mg caps of which the av...

Devil in the Feeding Trough: PGE-Response to "Bad" Red Meat from Grass-Fed Cattle Could Prevent not Cause Cancer, Stroke and a Whole Host of Autoimmune Diseases.

Image 1: You do not need to hunt your red meat like a paleolithic human being, just make sure it comes from grass-fed animals and you will have a "health food" that modulate the your prostaglandin response to inflammatory assaults and thusly reduce your risk of cancer, stroke and autoimmune disesases in a way no fat-free chicken breast will ever do. I have had this in the news before, in the context of the purported health benefits of CLA, with respect to the modulation of the n3/n6 ratio in your diet and in various other context, you heard me saying, or, I should say, read me writing that rather than popping tons of fish oil caps, you should rather focus on decreasing your overall omega-6 intake by making healthy food choices at the supermarket. In this regard, choosing grass-fed over commercially raised beef (and other meat) products could turn out to be one of the most far-reaching choices you can make. While that alone will help you to concomitantly reduce the n-6 ove...

Xylitol, a Low-Calorie Sweetener With Unknown Fat-Burning Side-Effects!? Replacing Cornstarch With the Five-Carbon Sugar, Xylitol, Ramps Up Fat Burning Enzymes in Rodent Model of Diet Induced Obesity.

Image 1: Xylitol christals under the micro- scope (photo taken by Anders Østergaard Madsen , Denmark 2001) From a health perspective, the five-carbon sugar alcohol Xylitol has hitherto principally been known for its beneficial effects on dental health. With a caloric value of 3kcal/g the naturally occurring ingredient of a wide variety of plants, citrus fruits (plums, strawberries, raspberries) and vegetables (cauliflower) does have less calories than sugar, nevertheless, according to the fundamentally flawed, but still widely held paradigm that " a calorie is a calorie, no matter where it comes from ", the idea of replacing sugar with xylitol to reduce the overall caloric load would make little sense even on a diet that was relatively high in carbohydrates. So, if it were not for the highly marketable statement "sugar free" on chewing gums and candies, xylitol would probably not even have made it to the consumer marke...
