Why Castor Oil Makes a Poor Skin Moisturizer: A Biochemical and Physiological Perspective

By / / Health and Fitness / 19 minutes of reading

After my article on olive oil and how toxic it is as to use as a moisturizer, not to mention that it is several times more toxic to consume, as any plant-based oil, a lot of people began asking about coconut oil and especially castor oil — the latter hyped online for its “moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and protective” skin properties. So, could this “castor oil” be a plant exception worth salvaging, or does it belong […]

Muscle Glycogen Replenishment After Exhaustive Exercise — Carb-Fed vs. Fat Adapted

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 8 minutes of reading

This morning I stumbled across a new study summarized by Examine.com and I thought it would be a great opportunity to explain glycogen replenishment from physical activity and the rather large differences depending on your diet and how your physiology operates — as in running on a toxic glucose metabolism dependent on unnatural exogenous carbohydrates or running our natural fat adapted metabolism relying on fat, ketones and glucose from gluconeogenesis. So, let’s see what

Cholesterol Levels Respond To Accumulated Damage — A Complete Guide To Cholesterol And All The Damage Done By Carbohydrates And Seed/Vegetable Oils

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 21 minutes of reading

The bro-science squad at T-Nation recently tried to tackle the cholesterol controversy, a subject that I’ve covered in depth and explained using real common sense and science from the fields of biology, physiology, and biochemistry. Let’s see how they did. And yes, this is a very long article, and likely one of the most important ones ever written on the subject, so sit back and dig in! “Google the word “cholesterol” and most of

Again we return to Examine.com and a summary of a review looking at omega-3 fatty acids and either an increased or decreased risk of atrial fibrillation, as in an abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atrial chambers of the heart. This review found what they considered conflicting results. But were they really? Or was it yet again the lack of understanding of simple human physiology and biochemistry that reared

Being precise and truthful matters, which never is the case with “nutrition science” or the medical field where they flip everything backwards to protect their agenda to keep people weak, sickly, dumbed-down, controllable, and dependent on their “symptom suppressing” solutions and fake pseudoscience. Yesterday, Science Daily posted a summary of a recent study on “high-fat, high-sugar” (HFHS) diets and their effect on cognitive ability.Even the name, HFHS is backwards, as it should be called

The pharmaceutical and food industry shills at Science Daily are back with yet another bought-and-paid-for study on cancer — our natural defense against an extreme toxic load when detoxification can’t keep up. Let’s see how they twist and try to deceive the public with linoleic acid and cancer this time. “Linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid found in seed oils such as soybean and safflower oil, and animal products including pork and eggs, specifically
